That's where we're at. Just how many seasons will it take to make meaningful progress aka killing Rainer?!
I remember you giving Boku no Hero a fair amount of guff a few seasons back for having 'ineffectual villains who weren't a legitimate threat'... Is this too far in the opposite direction?

Titan artillery is pretty cool. Fire for effect. Sad to see the scouts have to talk themselves into a suicide charge for the slimmest chance of victory.

This show is great, and I love how it explores the fatalistic mindset, but the anticipation of what's going to happen makes its pacing actually painful, in a way I won't properly appreciate until repeat viewings. Why do we do this to ourselves?
