nars290 said: SO is anyone gunna talk about how this NINJA TURTLE WALKED UP ON THE SCENE WITH MY MANS STAINS OUTFIT ON!!!!?????? Like he jacked it and changed it a bit like its the same as asking someone to look at there essay then plagiarizing the whole thing minus a few words!!! SMH put some respect on my dead mans name I think that's because the reptilian guy is a huge fan of Stain. In the previous season they said that Stain and his ideology were gaining a lot of attention from the villains who acknowledged it as a noble cause. |
| I love how Todoroki gave advice to Midoriya based on how he helped him before :) All the villains are attacking when the students are worn out. This is definitely not good... Dabi and his quirk looks awesome though, and what a cliffhanger! Why am I watching this weekly again? 😭 |
| It was pretty weird looking at Izuku while he was being a lone wolf, like, everyone got to interact with other people except him, sure he got his little chat with Todoroki, but that was just the flashback talk, nothing fun or really interesting. Also, that little shit doesn't count, he is just like a defenseless and with different ideals Bakugo. This 3rd season ain't going that well, but I'm hoping it gets much better after this villains hit the camp, also that the "I'll save Kota" thing doesn't bother the hell out of the action, I don't know how it will be executed, but the heroicness doesn't need to be a "Hinata-Naruto" like dumb thing, we know Deku needs to save the kid, but don't overuse the "Kun", and don't put fragile emotions in Midoriya's character please (like in the Final exams arc), he should have grow up a lot. I'm sorry if I sound a little bothered, but that first episode still gets on my nerves, please MHA, be as light hearted as you must, but don't lose the quality we got out of you in the Stain and tournament arc in the 2nd season. |
 |
| Without any warning, The League of Villains strike! This is gonna be chaos! I wonder who leaked the information about their secret hideout training location!? I hope next episode would be serious hype!!! 5/5. |
 |
| ehh, the villains look good. But NONE matches the swag of Hero Killer :( hypeee |
| The training of quirks was fun to watch, and we are already getting some villain fight, that was faster than I expected! Best reaction:  |
  |
| Bane, Darth Vader, and Jason parodies? :v What exactly is Plus Ultra, though? They sure uttered that phrase a lot in this episode. Is it something like dattebayo from Naruto? :/ |
| <GENERIC SIGNATURE> |
Hero Killer is by far the best villain in the Anime, followed by Kurohigi |

TJHooker said: MeDicenJaden said: That was a nice episode, the pacing was good. But the fights will probably be filled with flashbacks and exposition, hopefully they make them smoother. I loved the training sequences and the interaction of the characters and the timescreen of the Class B, I hope that they get more attention this season, you can make some quality stuff with both classes I like that the exposition in MHA fights is always realistic. I would not call them realistic, but rather, boring. While is okay to have your characters trying to explain the situation and discussing about their next move, too much off it ruins the pacing and makes battles a chore to watch |
|
| Damn, I forgot how much I loved Ragdoll back in the manga, her hyperactive personality is so cute and funny. Finally more of Dabi and Toga in the next episodes. |
TJHooker said: MeDicenJaden said: I would not call them realistic, but rather, boring. While is okay to have your characters trying to explain the situation and discussing about their next move, too much off it ruins the pacing and makes battles a chore to watch Do you have anything specific in mind? I'm pretty sure you're just wrong in this regard. In all of the main fights there hasn't been forced exposition as far as I can tell. Some shonen do this poorly, but MHA is not one of them. Well yeah, the fight of Deku, Tenya and Shouta vs Hero Killer, it felt too slow with all the exposition, it wasn't as bad as other stuff that I watched, god, those flashback were so damn annoying. I'm not saying that all fights are like that, but when they do, it really kills the mood for me. Also, let's get real Boku No Hero Academia is a pretty average anime. |

Ah I see where you're coming from. I'd then argue that it is good exposition because it doesn't stop the fight. All of them still fight while exposition is happening expect during an Iida flashback. I will concede that in general MHA has annoying flashbacks to previous points in the show. I think in season 1 and the first half of season 2 there were way too many flashbacks. In my opinion it's the shows largest flaw. I don't know the point of your last sentence. It came out of nowhere. My Hero Academia is one of my favorite anime. While there are flaws and it follows various shonen tropes I'd say it's definitely above average. It is not, while it doesn't stop the flow of the fight, it really drags it, and that's one of its flaw, along with unlikable edgy villains, Bakugo being mad for stupid reasons most of the time, etc etc. It didn't came out of nowhere, your arguments on this thread tend to look like fanboy stuff, no offense. Also, above average? I'm not a shounen expert, but this anime is a 6/10. And that means, average |
|
| I love it too, but in Boku no Hero that extension sucks, let's be real, it suffers from the same issues as most of the shounens, like i've been saying since the start of this season |

Also, above average? I'm not a shounen expert, but this anime is a 6/10. And that means, average That's probably the reason you dislike it, you probably tend to dislike the majority of Shounen anime in general. You're judging by non shounen standards because you probably just prefer other genre, which is completely fine. I mean I can see how someone who isn't a fan of the shounen genre only rates this show average. But by shounen standards, this anime/manga is definitely far above the average in terms of the way it is written. I might sound like a fanboy and I probably am one. But as someone who primarily follows shounen series, this definitely becomes clear when comparing MHA to other shounen, mainly other Shounen Jump manga. Sure, shounen fans tend to differ in opinion in that case as well. But there's a reason why this is one of the highest rated Shounen right now. And tbf, I'm a manga reader, so I already know what will happen and I wasn't really that much of a fan when the manga was where the anime is now. I don't deny it's flaws, but for me the really good parts easily make up for them. Just because is high rated by a majority it doesn't mean is good, is just popular. Take for example Elfen Lied, it was popular back in the day, is still kinda popular today but is garbage, edgy and unfun. I can rate and judge this anime like I please, based on my criteria and experience. I don't have that much experience with shounens but I know what makes an anime good, and this anime, is just poor and lacking, but by no means bad, is just plain generic and simple. Giving it a 10 means that the anime is perfect, if not, has little to no flaws, so, you're not pointing out anything, you're just praising it. Far above? You're joking right? |

Giving it a 10 means that the anime is perfect, if not, has little to no flaws, so, you're not pointing out anything, you're just praising it. Far above? You're joking right? When I watched Elfen Lied I enjoyed it, but that was two years ago. By my standards today, I would probably rate it a lot lower if I were to watch it again. Plus, Elfen Lied is seinen and not shounen. Did I ever say you're not allowed to rate it the way you like? Did I ever criticize the way you rate anime? No. When I said, that you're rating it on non shounen standards, I said it is completely fine to do so. Everyone has his own ways to judge stuff. You can have the opinion that sth is overrated, but that is simply your opinion. How high rated sth is, is still decided by a majority of viewers, not by a single one. If you really enjoy an anime that everyone else dislikes, that only makes the anime underrated in your eyes, not everyones. Just as you judge by your standards, I judge by mine. I don't think anything is lacking, but that's because I have different preferences than you. You might for example say that it lacks a certain kind of character archetype, while I might dislike that kind of character. To me it just has little to no flaws. Flaws for me are plotholes, which it doesn't have, uninteresting characters, which it imo doesn't have. Each and every character is completely unique in every aspect, personality and design wise. You can even distinguish every character just by their eyes. I don't think there's many other manga or anime with as many uniquely designed characters as this one. Sure, the story might have its ups and downs, but that's sth every anime has. There definitely were 1-2 arcs that I didn't enjoy as much as the rest, but they were necessary for the story to progress. The fights are a lot better than what the majority of other shounen anime give you. Hell, the fights are easily better than what One Piece is offering. Although fights are probably one of the few weaknesses One Piece has and One Piece is more about the journey than the fights. As for being generic, that is exactly what I meant by viewing it from shounen and non shounen standards. Fans of shounen anime don't mind generic shounen tropes as long as they're executed well, which MHA does. It doesn't just take a shounen trope and copies it, it gives the trope it's own kind of twist. If this was like in other shounen anime, Deku would've beat Todoroki and Bakugou and won the sports festival, but he didn't. Or look at Deku and Bakugou as the main protagonists. It might look like straight up copying Naruto and Sasuke, but Deku and Bakugou are both fundamentally different characters and act different towards each other. Granted, the anime hasn't shown that many cases yet, where it takes a popular shounen trope and gives it its own kind of twist. But it won't take long anymore until the next one happens in S3. Taking popular shounen tropes, but changing the generic outcome to sth unexpected and new is refreshing imo. Someone who dislikes generic shounen tropes in general probably won't be able to understand stuff like that. Plus, I said it's far above average compared to other shounen anime. How many have you seen? 5? Out of how many? Several 1000? Plus judging from your list, you've only watched popular ones like One Piece, Dragon Ball, Death Note or JoJo. And most of these apart from maybe Dragon Ball diverge from what you usually see in Shounen. They are fundamentally different from usual cliche shounen. You've yet to see average or bad Shounen anime. If you want to watch the worst shounen I've ever seen, go watch Big Order. I can already tell you, you're going to rate it 1/10, if not even lower, it's that bad. My rating scale is just different than yours, I'm just much quicker to rank sth 10/10, because there's barely any difference between the shows I rated that high. On the other hand, I gave Big Order 4/10, because I know there are anime out there, that are even worse, so I leave space open for those. Basically, if you've just seen around 5 shounen anime, I don't think you can judge how MHA does compared to the majority of other shounen. I think I've seen enough shounen anime and manga to be able to judge that. The vast majority doesn't even come close because they have way more flaws, are way more generic, have plotholes, bad written characters, etc. The most generic shounen anime is probably Black Clover and that is at least 10 times more generic than MHA, but the manga still sells fairly well. Elfen lied was just an example of popularity =/= quality. Why the long rant, did I piss you off? Also, I'm going to stop replying, Boku no hero academia is generic and sometimes even mediocre. I'm not wasting my time trying to prove you're just a pissed off fanboy |

| From the moment i saw Kota i thought "Future Villain" Don't know if i'm wrong. |
| OH YES!!! That OST at the end so good!! Hype!!!! |
| F*ck cliffhangers. |
 |
| this leave me so hype! we will see new villains and his superpowers |
| Good episode. i noticed some villains are not wearing masks (beside Dabi), wont the smoke hurt them? |
| All around good episode, but poor Kota! I understand why he hates the current society after how everything went down. :c |
 |
| I seriously hope that the next episode will not go to something like: The kid was put in danger or something along this kind and the heroes save him. And stuffs happened like saving him, opening up with each other and so on. I'm not sure how to express this but I'm getting less hyped for the next episode each week. I hope the battle next week will give me backbthe feeling i had for first two seasons. Great animation for Shoto's quirk by the way. And I find the the quirk training for Mineta disturbing 😅. Also, strange sounds that laser guy is making during his training 😑😒 |
| This episode was fantastic, based Rie Matsumoto on storyboard, she delivered once again. She needs to direct more anime. |
| The Anime Binge Is Life -PolarCyrus97 2k17- |
| So Episode 4 will have I also want to mention that this season has really awesome art direction. It might just be me, but the animation also got quite better. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
