The ending of this episode is about where chapter 15 in the manga ended. So ~2 chapters per episode, yeah. |

Episode 8
Ok, this is turning into one of those series that grinds my gears, where the higher-ups are all complete morons and slime buckets (except for a couple of the young'uns). Are we ever going to find out who Yuma's father's friend was in Border? (to be clear, that's a rhetorical question expressing my frustration, not an invitation for the manga-spoiler people to chime in) It's either going to be that dark-haired good guy on the board, or ironically the top guy with the scar (who got said scar fighting alongside Yuma's dad on the other side and blames all Neighbors for his death, and will be all "Oh noes, I didn't know you were his son! Gomen, gomen! I'm good now."). However it turns out, they really need to jettison the evil board of directors storyline sooner than later. |

Since that wasn't marked as a manga spoiler, I have to assume you're going solely by what we've been shown so far in the anime, so all I can respond with is, yes they are.

Is there a special manga spoiler tag? I'm going by where we're at currently in the manga.

No, but since this is an anime discussion, when you can't help yourself from talking about the manga it's considered polite to say "manga spoiler" before the tag so we can tell that it's not an anime episode spoiler. I don't know why people who read the manga and want to talk about it don't just go to the manga threads, but they never do.

I haven't read the source material, so I can't tell if the show's quality (or, as some like to write, the lack-of) is due to the manga, or from the animation side. But, if you look at this show under the premise of "a regualr Shounen superpower, supernatural battle series", you'll find it somewhat entertaining, like I have

As someone that has read the manga, I can guarantee that it's a failure as an adaptation. Toei just sucks at pacing and are an overall lazy studio. I'm just praying that they'll NEVER try and get their hands on Boku no Hero Academia. |

Looking at how high up My Hero Academia is on the rankings, I'm sure they will eventually try. Whether they succeed in getting it is another issue.

If anything, I'm rooting for Trigger to get their hands on it. The art style matches very well with what they would do. |

Well there was a time when whatever was some the biggest series in Weekly Shonen Jump was almost always done by Toei Animation.
And Studio Pierrot did the others. If a series was a bit edgier someone else grabbed it. Ever since One Piece though Toei has pretty much backed away. Although they did Toriko which help manga sales. So Shueisha probably was looking at their lineup and thought World Trigger has potential to become bigger with Elementary School and Middle School aged audience so they wanted Toei to do it. And Toei was always the one to do a series that would be popular with the younger audience. The only thing I'm confused on is with Toei's clout why they didn't get a better airtime than 6am for World Trigger. The whole reason it got a anime so quickly was Shueisha wanted more sales for the World Trigger manga. If my My Hero Academia becomes bigger sales wise. And as big as people claim it's going to end up being. It sounds like it would pretty much be Studio Pierrot or Toei doing the anime. But things are a bit different these days with anime. So it could be almost anyone. Last edited by 1thought on Sun Dec 07, 2014 8:52 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I dunno...they held that still frame shot of the board guy lighting his cigarette for a full 10 seconds before he opened his eyes. 
But yeah, some plot progression! A couple of questions kind of answered. I'll take it! |

You know, I never even thought about comparing World Trigger with Attack on Titan. They both feel very different though. That, and Attack on Titan is post-apocalyptic and is about humans trying to survive, whereas with World Trigger, the Neighbors' damage is only local in scale (as far as we know anyway), and the humans have developed pretty efficient ways to defeat the invaders.
I was able to recognize a deformed Ai with no ambiguity, but I wasn't even sure if that was Jin in the image or not. Were the lenses on his glasses always detached too? |

If you mean no nose piece, I think so. Because the side arms don't curl behind his ears but rather in the opposite direction, I assume they wrap around the back of his head, mostly hidden by his hair. |
