Statistics alone prove it's not the case.

Sure there is a loud toxic fandom that's undeniably annoying, but the haters are equally so.
Personally, I think both of those sides are retarded and should do something better with their lives.

So far, I've only watched the first season of the anime, which was passable at best.
The manga is still great though, with arguably the highest quality art of the current Shonen Jump lineup (Not counting Jump+).

I personally didn't like my hero at all. It was one of the first animes I've ever seen but even that didn't make me love it lol I don't know whether it takes the crown of the worst shounen out there though. Maybe out of the popular ones but I'm sure theres gotta be one way worse than my hero

Exactly! I kinda have a love hate relationship with it since it’s the first anime i’ve ever watched but it’s also very bad compared to my favourite animes

If you arent talking about something absurdly awful then dont mention the word worst. That being said the 4 seasons of mha I watched were horridly mediocre and a complete waste of time. I wouldn't reccomend it to anyone for any reason. So yeah It's bad.
He died doing what he wanted, no matter what, right? I bet he was happy.

🥺 why fire force?? .... FF is not that bad 😔 ... FF >>>>> MHA and DEMON SLAYER

Because it’s characters are all boring with a average plot and concept. It’s only redeeming feature is that it’s animation and sound effects are really good.


Isn't it just like Demon Slayer and MHA then?

Naw, saying that it's the worst is quite harsh. I do think it's been on a downward trend the past year or two. Season 5 was its worst rated season yet and the manga has gotten real dull and uninteresting(with the exception of the Todoroki family drama) since the time skip happened.

I think my hero is pretty bad, the main heros r boring nd stale and the villains stories League of Villians or w.e is more interesting. People who love deku will tell you he stops crying at some point but we arent there yet. Despite all this, I've watched a lot of anime and this isnt the worst shounen.

I don't think I'd say it's the worst, but it's probably the most disappointing. I genuinely believe that in terms of potential, MHA had the most of all the current big battle shounens, more than black clover, demon slayer, jjk, etc. But after a while, the story slowly became less and less interesting to the point where I feel like nobody even cares anymore. It's not like the story became terrible or anything, it just never felt like it was taking chances to be interesting or set it self apart. I don't hear anyone talking about the newest seasons of my hero at all, and certainly not with the excitement they used to with the first 1-3 seasons, and as a manga reader, while I can tell you that it does get a bit more interesting at certain points in the future, it eventually just goes back being what you'd expect, which is pretty disappointing.

It has good parts but a problem with trying to give the gigantic cast enough screentime to justify their existence. Onto that it's giving too much attention to the school aspect and just loses itself trying to jiggle the both of it. Overall it's still decent but probably in the lower half if not the lowest one from the new gen shounens.

I have watched 100+ animes, probably from all generation. I'm going to be honest. This is actually good anime. Ballance with the storyline and the animation. Not shipping agenda, but the character profiling is not bad and most chara relationship is good FOR SHOUNEN.

If we're going to talk about the fandom, I personally think it really the worst. The shipping agenda (wether it's straight or not) hit harder than Midoriya's smash. It's really chaos here.

Conclusion: actually good anime with bad fandom. But who cares about fandom, leave it. Just go watch the anime, child!

Humble advice: u better also read the manga. trust me it's worth.

A lot of the hate simply comes from Internet veterans hanging out around niche circles who 'don't want normies trying to enforce far-left viewpoints within OUR communities' (being very protective of the current culture and not wanting it poisoned with mainstream behaviour), or 'don't consider them true anime fans because it's mainstream', from what I've seen, honestly.

I see it a lot within niche communities that tend to have a large proportion of people with... 'less than acceptable' opinions in the modern day Internet (in other words, perhaps not going along with post-2016 gender ideology): once something within the subject goes mainstream or attains success within a commercially viable group of people that can be easily marketed to (i.e. the 12-21 year old age group currently), everyone starts slagging it off for 'exposing normies to X subject'. You get into one thing, and you look for something else, and often you also end up finding the same thing as others who started from the same thing (I guess this is similar to the 'six degrees of separation' theory).

Sorry for going off on one, I guess, especially as a new poster, and what I said probably makes no fucking sense, but eh.

Also, I really love Toga. She's pretty relatable.

I honestly loved the show and still do very much enjoy it.
But in my personal opinion the show got a bit hard to watch in the second cour of the 4th season (while it was ok, still no) as well as the first cour of the 5th season. The first arc of the 5th season was like action fan service to me but without actual depth and a risk element to it. But the 5th season 2nd cour was fire though, it was fun there was action and charcter and internal conflict that was really enjoyable. Especially Endeavours character arc was great, where a powerful hero is a human being instead of a perfect god like being (Allmight).

But I might be talking out of my ass here so I am open to people saying otherwise.

Completely over hated in my opinion. It does have strange pacing at times and the stakes go from 0 to 100 back to 0 in like 10 eps but I still really enjoy it. I think it's the school vibe which makes me kind of happy. It's a class of students developing their abilities and I dunno, I really enjoyed it. The 3rd season in particular is fucking incredible, I don't give a single fuck about anyone's opinion on BNHA, the 3rd season is just 🥰🥰🥰

What story does MHA have? there is literally no story, it's just super heroes doing super hero things fighting villains, having training arcs and tournament arcs. That's not a story that's every typical super hero movie, cartoon, anime ever made. The only proper story in the whole anime was season 4 which had Eri's story, it had Gentle Criminals backstory and you also got some nice story with Nighteye and All Might.

Apart from the every other season had no story at all

It is to me. And not just because of the fanbase. I don't really like superhero stuff in general. I'm not really a fan of OPM, Marvel (Yet my 2 favorite shirts are Captain America and Spider-Man shirts), and DC stuff as well. Though I'm okay with Spider-Man, the PlayStation games were very fun.

OP, you couldn't be more wrong.

I just finished watching the first season of this anime, and it's probably the best battle shounen I've ever seen, and I don't even like battle shounen anime for the most part, but My Hero Academia is really well done. The characters are interesting, and the pacing is just right.

Back in my day, when it came to battle shounen, we had garbage like "Dragon Ball Z," which had horrible pacing. I've seen bits and pieces of later battle shounen, like "Naruto," "Bleach" and "FMA," but none of those could hold my interest at all, but "My Hero Academia" shines above them all.

If Sally says that My Hero Academia is good, then trust me, it's good.

i read the manga up to date like 6 months ago, i havent kept up since because it got a little redundant after a while. but i still font think the show is bad. ive learned to seperate the fandom from the show, and to judge a show by the people that watch it is absurd to be anyway but thats not the point.

point it, the show was entertaining so in the end if the day is did what it was supposed to do. i dont think it has to be overly complex to be good, it had a cool premise and lovable (or hatable) characters. although i know MHA isnt everyones cup of tea, i personally think its worth a watch. ^^

Honestly, for me, it started off as a very mid and low-tier battle shonen but it consistently got better (at least in the manga, bones messed up in the anime) and as of now, the current arcs are pretty darn good

I won't say I think MHA was the worst Shonen, I'd say it's just a typical one to me. There might be enough superhero series out there though, especially when you don't only include anime, because it hard to come up with pretty original superpowers nowadays and MHA did not have a much of a suspenseful storyline to me. The Webtoon series Unordinary is a really great modern superhero series though with new characters.

Probably not the worst out there, but one of the most tiring. I felt like the charm of it with the quirks and whatnot were super unexplored and plain. Never got so tired of watching a show so fast. Cast is way more annoyingly one note as well because of their quirks. Honestly hurts them a lot and gives an excuse to give them any depth.

I personally like MHA quite a bit but there's tons of potential that was wasted because the story gets kinda repetitive with all the work placements, tournaments and class duels. I feel the story finally got interesting when the focus was switched to the villains and the upcoming war should be a spectacle that shows heroes fighting it out with the villains... you know, the things superhero stories are all about.

Overall, there's a lot of stuff out there that's better than MHA but also a lot that is worse. The actual worst thing about the series is its fanbase but a fanbase should never deter from the story itself.
