Anime:My Hero Academia

I wish The Boys would find this universe...

I'm not the nicest bloke you've ever met, but I do me best.

Dear God why would you want that?

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Because I don't like this anime? Im an evil,evil person...

You need to be more specific as to why you hate it, or else you'll come across as a jackass.

Just saying.

As well as not post in the first place,too. It saves people the effort to try and fight with you over it.

I make one joke and Im the public enemy no #1...

Unoriginal,corny,unlikable characters,terribly cliche...Like a better shounen ate a bad comic and spit it out.

Be More specific.

I'd say the same thing of Eyeshield 21 compared to Slam Dunk. But you don't see me mocking stuff that I dislike, I just ignore it.

Just the notion that you cant be hero without superpowers is dumb.

Hero tests and registration?Whose permission do you need,exactly?

Stereotypical shounen characters.Bland in every way.

Just getting powers from somebody,with very little of your own talent or determination involved.God forbid you train with Tibetan monks or something.

...You missed the point of the manga, then.

They never said that, so much as as its more convenient to have powers.

Seriously, why do you bother with stuff you don't like, then?

I wanted to see what the hype is about,obviously.And there isnt a lot to like this season,sadly.

Yeah,they kinda do say that.In episode 1.

So you only watched up to episode 1, then?

Then yes, you don't know about the manga at all.

And the fact that you think is shitty doesn't mean it is from an objective standpoint.

Wow,no need to get personal.

Never said that,I watched 4 episodes.It didnt get better. Maybe you can argument you stance?

Did you just sort of black out during the bit where Midorya trains his ass off for ten solid months?

Honestly, criticism at the level of "it's generic" or "the characters are unlikable" is so subjective it's barely worth arguing about in the first place.

Like, taking me as an example. I don't watch a lot of anime these days, which has a lot to do with how most of it just seems to me like the same old thing, the characters are just the same old tropes, nothing seems organic, etc. Yet I could get into the plot and setting of BNHA and I like the characters. Part of it is that I've been following someone on Tumblr who infected me with their excitement. Another part is that I just like the art style, which of course colors everything about how the story is experienced. Another part is that I just happen to be at a point in my life where I want to see a show like this. And the list goes on.

If any of these things about myself were different, I might have looked at the first episode and dismissed it as not my thing, but because they are the way they are, I looked at it with positive expectations and got what I came for. Meanwhile, if 8kids saw the training montage and still mentally filed it under "the kid gets his power from someone without doing anything for it", chances are it's just not their thing.

I mean, as far as I'm concerned pretty much anything is worth discussing, but only if the people discussing it are actually interested in learning something, and let's just say I'm not convinced that's the case here. So no, there's no substance there. Not worth arguing about. Save your energy for something worthwhile.

I mean, the characters are bound to come off as uninteresting if you pay so little attention that you wind up complaining about an event that takes up half an episode never happening.

I concur with both of you. That particular criticism is factually incorrect. As for every single other criticism, they're so subjective that they are not worth arguing about.

Guys, can we please not fall for this shitposting? "It's shit so I don't like it" is the lowest tier bait there is.

Unless you got a legitimate criticism & are able to explain it then keep the shitting quit please.

So i'm still surprised by Ochako's hair. Reading the manga you'd never think she was a brunette.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Yeah, I know she has brown hair from official art, but I keep thinking she has blonde hair in the manga.

Right, its so light, I can't believe its brown.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

I thought the same thing, but I think it was because she's so similar to Shiemi from Blue Exorcist that I was shocked when I saw Ochako in full color.

"That's a to-go order. See! It's already gone!!"

You guys miss the point.He could have used the training to be a Badass Normal type,or something...

You know,flaming me isnt a valid argument.You all think its great,but nobody bothers to explain why.Its just easier to attack someone.

The story is about the Hero Academy, which is a school for people with quirks to learn and train to become superheroes, Midoriya wouldn't be able to attend the school without a quirk. There's no reason for him to be Badass Normal if that's not what the anime is about. Midoriya is a lot like Captain America, they both started out as powerless humans who wanted to be heroes and had the courage to be so, but weren't able to because of their limits. Well just like Captain America, Midoriya got his chance live out his dream by being given power.

Maybe it's not super original story, but seeing a character with so much determination to live their life wanting to save people is pretty inspirational and really cool to me. That's why I like the manga, that's why I like Deku.

"That's a to-go order. See! It's already gone!!"

And there is the stories hard-on for registration,schools and test.Which tries to evoke Hunter/Chunin exams.And fails miserably.

Wouldnt his powers make him more similar to Captain Marvel(Shazam)?

Not exactly since Billy turns into a separate adult form while Deku has more of an enhancement power.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."
