Today on Crunchyroll, I expanded my vague thoughts on the recent Yaoyorozu episode into a general commentary on how the adaptation is approaching anime-original material. My Hero Academia has been very smart about choosing when and how to embellish on the source material, capitalizing on the fact that the original manga was already full of moments that wouldn’t really mind some elaboration. Adaptation is a complex and fascinating thing, and I’m happy to celebrate shows that handle it well!
