| @Old_School_Akira if you cannot discern fiction from reality, you're a tourist. |
| If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you. |
| poor animation! Well, 3 characters, interesting but without power and a new drug!!! kekeke |
| The first episode feels so generic Like, ordinary mc saves the damsel in destress from very very bad guys, and then they forms some kind of team And they just let those bad guys go away after. Very disappointing I decided to watch this only because people said it was better that original bnha. Well, it's was just the fuss for nothing... |
| I've never watched MHA nor will I begin to anytime soon, but Vigilantes impressed me with this episode. |
 |
| Peak MHA is finally here!!! |
 |
| Man, they are going fast. Maybe a bit TOO fast. They basically covered the first volume with jut one episode... I suspect they'll try to cover most of the story with just one season, two if we get lucky. I hope they'll let Koichi, Pop and Knuckleduster develop like in the manga, because they are dear characters to me and I don't want them to rush everything. Animation was cool, I like how they mantained some "comic" effects, and I also think their voices are just like I've imagined them years ago! |
| Location: Turin, Italy Hobby: Music, karate, manga Favourite food: Hey, why are still interested in my stuff? |
| Never thought I'd ever see this day Hope they adapt the entire 15 volume run of this series! |

| way better animation than the recent seasons of mha lol, though that's the only good thing about this. |
 |
| Okay this is a good start to what should be one of the biggest anime of this season, a spin off from a very established franchise with a huge fanbase. I liked the idea that before MHA the world still had bad Quirk users, and those just trying to have fun. * MC's quirk seems useless, but I bet it's because he hasn't figured out how to use it yet. * Knuckle duster seems like one of the strong type that exercises his physical muscles at the expense of his atrophied brain, i.e. the strong but stupid type * I am hoping the girl will grow, first impressions she seems kind of bimbo. Everything is saved when Erasure arrives but then CLIFFHANGER. Why!!!?? Now we'll have to wait till next week. |
 |
| Kouichi's power is so unserious, lmao. I'm enjoying this anime so far, especially Knuckleduster and Kouichi's dynamic. I know these two are going to be a chaotic mess. I screamed the moment I saw Aizawa! |
 |
| Loved the episode. Can't wait to see more Cameos of Heroes. Surely it will be just limited to Cameos and not a part in main story, right?? |
 |
| Oh ok, so this what this prequel is gonna be about. Not another course in the ever so stagnated hero academia, not about some loser kid gaining an op. It's about the sense of justice coming from a college student put into action to fill in the part law and heroes won't get to. It's also animated more consistenty than the actual anime so maybe this will turn out alright? The opening song is kinda catchy. |

| It's fun to see a POV of another character who idolizes All Might. I think more anime/manga should do spin-off like this. |
 |
Reply to 71st-Memorial
Since All Might is the MHA version of Superman, I guess Knuckleduster is the MHA version of Batman. Does that make Koichi Robin?
| @71st-Memorial Knuckleduster is nothing like batman |
| Skipping this one after the terrible ending of Boku no Hero Academia. |
 |
| I found the first episode to be solid for a spin off series. Im curious how this spin off series will expand on the MHA universe. |
  |
| I remember reading a bit of the manga years ago. wasnt impressed for some reason. but now I liked this episode... except for eraserhead, that guy is an annoying moralfanboy as usual. Im giving it a chance, though. its one of the few things Im interested in this season so far. |
| :v |
| Good start, enjoyed it a lot and it was very funny. As I usually like My Hero Academia I feel right at home with this show. Also funny how Midorias Mom was in it, haha. |
| I liked this a lot more than I expected. The new cast is great. Love the fanservice and knuckle guy! Nice guy part was funny. |
 |
| YOOO, THIS IS KINDA PEAK??? I've known this manga since it began serialization, I have it in my plan to read list but never started it because I didn't had the time, I tried to read it like a year ago but didn't even finish the 1 chapter, since the last 2 arcs of BNHA were so fkng trash I lost interest on this, but seeing it get an anime makes me happy, it's so cool, way cooler than BNHA. Maybe I'll try to read it now since it also ended. The main trio are all likable, the protagonist being an UNIVERSITY student, and the way they immediately began to sexualize Pop Step's ass, makes me think this may be targeting a more "mature" audience, I hope I'm right, I got sick of BNHA and it's lame, generic ass "we are all friends" ending. I hope this keeps the pace and becomes as big as BNHA did, I can't wait to someday get a figure of Pop Step for my collection because I already fkng love her! I'm a simple man after all. Editing this comment to say that holy shit I LOVE both the opening and ending, the songs and the videos, haven't seen ones as good as this in this franchise since BNHA season 2. |

Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Finally watched my first episode of the new batch this season, and of course I have to keep tabs on the MHA spinoff. MHA has been a journey over the years. Remember seeing one of the Vigilante books in a Barnes & Noble before but never read it through so.. hopefully this is a nice little story. Seeing pink twintails off the bat is beautiful. Fun to have a little bike ride power to use in the street, but woefully not that strong a power in this verse The twintails call for me 🫡 I see myself in the crowd of the light post song. Pop Step W. I'm her fan. Love her When he was about to leave her to the goons 💀 wtf. Don't mess with her. Screw the rules to be a hero. And not be part of that one organization. |
  |
| Was an alright first episode, characters are not really interesting, but I've seen worse. |
| I liked the art, the plot and the comics-like layout, style and OSDs. Good voice work as well. An oddity I noticed is that compared to the original show ~80% of the global population are said to possess quirks rather than a mere ~20%. This apparent retcon (assuming it wasn't a sub error) seems more in line with the reality of the original story, since the long claimed 20% number always seemed too low to me: Just about everyone we've seen, both active characters and background extras, has some sort of quirk. So I've been wondering all those years... where on Earth that 80% unquirked bulk of the population have been hiding? 🤔 This prequel borrows the quirk boost plot of the parent story. Another apparent retcon, since I don't recall anyone ever mentioning that drug was also a thing many years ago... |

| Censored crap, the manga is better. |
| That was actually pretty fun, tho a bit cheesy tis fun. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I'm not sure how dark this show will be. So far it doesn't seem as dark as the last season of MHA, but at the smae time it isn't as lighthearted as the first season of MHA. |
| I like the tone here, it's darker than the main series. I also think that this feels a lot more like a standard superhero story than MHA, like something out of Marvel or DC. What I'm really curious about is how this story will portray vigilantism, because I feel the main MHA series was kinda against working outside of the law. A good start overall. |
| Decent start. Seems like this spin off is going to be really decent to watch!. Already love Pop Step, she´s so cute <3 |

| I've read the manga and was wishing for an anime adaptation so I'm incredibly happy to see that it got one. So far, they're nailing it tbh. The production seems very good since it's bones studio. I hope they adapt it completely because there are some epic moments in this series. Koichi is a really likable guy personally. |
 |
| Interesting way to spinoff the Hero Academia series, which I thought was going stale. Deku's mom made a cameo too! |
| Interesting first ep |
