So many kickass sequences during this exchange that makes it very memorable! I was satisfied to see the two actually deal some significant damage to the legendary All Might. Bakugo trying with all his might to win an unbeatable battle against All Might while Deku tried to run, and only when they combined their tactics together, fighting and running, did they manage to worm their way across the finish line. Not only was Studio Bones' animation top notch for this episode, the desperation in the voice acting was as well, and it made the exciting & tense situation all the more impactful. The highlight of the second season for me had to be Deku and Bakugo, two rivals of heroics, forcibly teaming up in order to surpass All Might in a trial of fight &/or flight.

and that's just what this moment does best. Something to just throw on and enjoy some new, shiny superpower action.

I'm not the biggest fan of Academia ever, but I do find it a pretty enjoyable popcorn show. This made me smirk and chuckle, it was definitely 2017 Kino's most enjoyable episode for me, even if I don't tend to enjoy liars :^) A great twist! Just when I thought that was the conclusion of the episode, the man chases after Kino as she's leaving during the credits to reveal that he too is a liar: he knows his housekeeper is his wife, and that it's better this way so they can stay together. Taking care of him is a kind housekeeper, who is revealed near the end of the episode to actually be his thought-to-be-dead wife, lying to him so she can stay by his side. The entire country then decides to play along with his delusion and lie to him about her death. I just found it really endearing and clever, a man supposedly loses his wife in an explosion, since she turned out to be a traitor, and he loses his marbles: believing that his wife is simply out of the country and that one day she will return to him. While it doesn't hold a candle to the original series' depth, there were a couple pretty solid episodes that I enjoyed, and my favorite had to be the half-episode titled "Liar Country." Oh Kino 2017, how conflicted my thoughts are of you.
