Hidden comments?
Songs written specifically for the credits of an anime series tend to be so carefully designed for a 1:30 runtime that it’s difficult to expand them to full-length songs, or to come up with a fitting live video featuring the performer. Two notable successes are the OP songs from Kannagi (which I can only find in a low-res version on an obscure Chinese video site…) and Bakuon, both of which make full use of their quite appealing singers.
The folks responsible for the My Hero Academia ED song Dakara Hitori Ja Nai, however, clearly had no idea how to seamlessly expand 1:30 to 4:20, and the video director wasn’t content to rely on the appeal of the five pretty young women who make up Little Glee Monster. The result is… interesting. I count at least three kitchen sinks.
The last time I saw this much overkill in a music video, Monty Python was discussing Catholic birth control…

Sometimes you have to double-click to enter text in the form (interaction between Isso and Bootstrap?). Tab is more reliable.
Hidden comments?
Mrrr? If you're referring to the blog comments, it's pretty simple-minded, and I don't have its primitive moderation turned on.

Yah, it's hiding two comments in the previous thread. I think it's a number of comments limit.
Huh. Didn't even know if had that feature. I've turned it off; I don't get so many comments that I need to hide the overflow...

Yay for testing the limits! (And that Vevo video is auto play!)
Hmm, Safari ignored the autoplay, so I didn't notice it. Fortunately, Vevo makes it obvious in the embed code, so I could turn it off.

daFuq? reminds me I need to catch up on the series.
Grrr, and there's something wrong with episode 34 that crashes the flash player halfway through. Even with adblock and noscript disabled. (Reloading that way has a working ad, but then Flash crashes again, and again.) It won't jump to the point I left off, and NOT jumping to that point is not an option.
I watched it on my FireTV, so I didn't have to put up with Flash. Maybe try pretending you're a mobile browser, or disable Flash in your browser so it falls back to HTML5 video.

I'll have to give that a try. Updating Flash didn't help. Firefox at this point actually warns you before starting up flash that it might slow down their already sluggish browser.
Nope Disabling Flash makes CR choke.
Eventually I got through it by switching to Explorer.
Ah, I watched it on Hulu, which explains why I could fall back to HTML5. I really wish Crunchyroll would move off of Flash; it's not like they don't support alternatives for iOS/Android already.

Well, to halfway through the next episode. Locked up during the ad break at the eyecatch. Sheesh.
ISTR there used to be a plug-in for Firefox that would mis-report what browser it was. It used to be for Explorer-only sites (Remember that crap?), but I suppose a more modern version could pretend to be iOS or something.
