We seem to be developing a bit of a similar syndrome here to something like Hourou Musuko. That is, an adaptation where new viewers think it’s great but manga readers insist they don’t, actually. When a series is trying to adapt 11 volumes (and counting) in 13 episodes that sort of thing is going to …
To Be Hero X #03 — Stand Up Guy

The first part was another snoozefest, as the series indulged in the sort of moe pandering that it just can’t break away from. Then we got to the actual story again and things improved substantially. It …
