| alot of people will hate anything thats mainstream tbh. all in all, so far MHA is actually a pretty good series. |
 |
| I wouldn’t say hated, it’s incredibly popular, it’s mainstream now. I’d say it’s just a little overrated, considering how basic the plot starts (superhero world and protag has no powers). I don’t mind it, in fact I adore the art in the manga, and how everyone’s quirks has limits and downfalls, I’ve just seen some better. If you hate on something just because it’s popular and nothing else, that’s fucking stupid.That’s just my thoughts though. But I am terrified of it’s fans oh god That’s where people start to hate the show, it’s the crazy rabid fans, not the actual series |

| Because its popular and people hate it when shows they don't like become more popular than anime they like. Also bnha fans is one of the most annoying fan base after Jojo. |
| Well i don't like BnH because i hate the thematic of super heroes. |
The battle is over.  Show respect for the fallen who fought so bravely. |
| Can't say I've seen much hate for MHA anywhere, but if you went to "most placed and forums" in your research about this, then you must know why people hate it so much...? |
 |
| I don't hate the show, but recent development from the manga kinda make me bore and stop wanting to follow it. I think mostly cause the villains of the series have no clear goals. Most of them want to change society or destroy it, but they have no plan to how to do it. Story usually driven by the villains, so if the villains seem aimless, it make the story seem to go nowhere. |
| You said it yourself. Its popularity is clearly the biggest reason as to why it's hated. Anything that is as popular as BNHA will generate lots of attention from everyone, and that includes the haters. Anything that has a large fanbase will always include the groups who dislike it. I've seen this pattern literally everywhere on the internet. I've seen it with almost every very popular show I've watched. I don't think you need a better explanation. |
| Only in death are we all equal. |
| BnHA? So hated? Really now? Lemme tell you a paradox which loops itself. Yes, I hate BnHA. But I hate it because "many people love it" and it's overhyped. So let's turn around the question. Why do many people love it? I dunno. "So hated" much? By overhyped I mean it's not a small amount. VERY overhyped. AoT S3P2 overhyped? Yes. But only a little bit. I've never watched Black Clover (or not planning to) but I've heard it's doing exactly the same things Naruto did and it's not getting much praise. That's how it should be for BnHA. But nope, it's also doing the things exactly as Naruto did (no, EVERY shounen anime did) to the point it's meme-d as "Green Naruto" but it's regarded as "the most unique shounen show ever" (just why?) and it's nominated as the AOTY 2018 by international fans according to this thread. (Really nigga?) To me, it seemed like the author is following a textbook "How to write shounen action 101" and ticking every checkboxes as many as possible. Unique? Just gimme a fucking break... And artstyle! Yes! Freaking artstyle!! The author also knows non-weeb westerners hate usual moe blob anime artstyle and love superheroes so he went this route with comic-like art to attract wider audience from west. All according to keikaku. He baits hard and people got baited hard, that's all there is to its popularity. Grr, I'm getting angrier typing this. That's it! I won't watch its upcoming season 4 anymore >:( |

Dolabella said: Sorry but that's not much of an argument. "It didn't happen for every anime it could have, therefore it can't have happened to any of them". That's not... very logicalHaXXspetten said: SAO, Naruto, Tokyo Ghoul, Eromanga-sensei, Fairy Tail, Mirai Nikki, Akame ga Kill and the list goes on. All these shows are hated because they became internet famous and popular and thus anime fans decided as a collective entity that they could become 10x cooler if they started acting like they hated these shows 10x more than they actually do on the inside. And thus the domino effect is created and it just gets more and more exaggerated and no one can ever stop it Is it childish? Yes, of course, but it's a naturally occuring phenomenon and there's not really a good solution to it. Best you can do is just ignore people like that oi man if these shows became hated by anime fans because of their surge in popularity then why isn't that the case for all 2010s shows that explode on the online anime community? there isn't a mass movement of haters for attack on titan, re:zero, one punch man, etc. despite these shows being popular just like those others. what differentiates the former group from the latter group? because whatever it is distinguishes shows that receive hate from shows that don't. it's not hype or popularity because the latter category is just as hyped as the shows you mentioned. sorry that a large number of people don't like the shows you do, but that doesn't mean they're hungry for clout. if you need something to hate, don't hate this imaginary anime counterculture movement you've dreamed up, and respect other people's legitimate preferences. First of all just to clarify, I'm not talking about myself here. I personally dislike several of the shows I mentioned as well, but that's not the point. The point is, if you've actually actively spent time on MAL forums over the years then you will notice that this is not just something I'm pulling out of thin air but rather a pretty well-known fact Since it's quite irrational in nature I can't say I have all the answers you're looking for but from what I've learned over the years by observation is that being a popular show does not automatically make you more hated, however if an anime does get hated then being popular will sustain that hate for a considerably longer amount of time. Think about it, every season there will always be numerous poorly rated shows with an overall very negative public reception, however if they're not popular then people will just forget about them and sweep them under the rug once they've finished airing and then almost never talk about them again. But if they have a lot of viewers then the discussion won't die off, but rather continue long past the anime actually finished airing and in the process also drag in new viewers of the series that started watching it well after it finished airing. Thus the cycle continues on. I mean do people really believe Sword Art Online to be the worst anime ever made? I highly doubt it, but since no one cares to talk about some random trash anime from back in 2013 that nobody else watched, it's just easier to keep talking about SAO instead since at least then everyone else knows what you're talking about, etcetera Another factor worth taking into account is that bandwagoning like this is a bit like bullying between kids. Normally what happens there is that for one reason or another, one kid is ostracized from the rest of their class and becomes the bully victim who a group of people start picking on. Over time, more and more people start doing the same just because everyone else is doing it and they want to maintain their status as being a part of the majority and thus the "right" side, so to speak. There is rarely any need for a second bully victim however. After all, they've already got a system that will put the majority on the same page and boost their sense of self-esteem and belief that they're among the popular kids. This phenomenon can probably also explain a pattern that can be seen within the anime community. Although it will of course vary from season to season depending on the lineup of airing shows, in general the most common development is that there will always be one airing anime every season that's for some reason singled out by the community as the one that everyone seemingly just has to trashtalk more than any other. It becomes a domino effect where everyone who publically denounces it becomes part of the accepted majority, and once they're already part of that group there is no real reason to start the same thing for a second anime. Only once it has finished airing will the search for a new punching bag become a necessity. Hence why some shows might end up strangely more lambasted than others despite them being otherwise quite similar and airing simultaneously Now if you actually try to speak up in the defense of one of these shows on the forums while they're airing then you should be prepared to immediately get jumped on and insulted by the majority of the community as you will then be associated with the hated minority and in effect become part of the bully victim yourself. I've seen it happen to others and briefly even experienced it myself. In short, it really isn't a very pleasant experience. Therefore part of me can't really blame people for being so quick to bail on that notion and just doing whatever it takes to become part of the public majority, even if it means starting to trashtalk a show with words that they don't really mean just in order to become accepted. I don't think it's right but under the circumstances it is understandable. After all, at its core it's the community itself that's the main source of why this problem exists, not the individual users that are forced to act the way they do as a result of it. In a way, they're victims too PS: Of course everyone can still legitimately hate on anything for real reasons and that's fine. It's when they do it for reasons that don't really have anything to do with the show itself simply because other people are expecting it of you that we have got a problem on our hands |

| you should care more about the total users/members of an anime entry imo and that is more important to the profits of the anime industry too anyway since more popular then more potential customers so more profit, do not care about scores |
| I think there's a few reasons it gets a lot of hate. The more popularity a series has, the more the people that hate/dislike tend to be vocal about not liking it. Also there's people out there who dislike the fandom, but not the show itself. Lastly, some people just like to hate on popular anime simply because it's popular. I think it's a great show, and yes, the fandom can be annoying at times, but if people let the fandom of a show ruin the actual series, then they are missing out. |
| Yes its hated bcuz its popular. I never liked MHA bcuz all the fans are saying is lie, and no its not a masterpiece or bast written shounen anime but a copy from Marvel universe or other American comic superhero. So its not original. The MC is whiny bitch, that got lucky meeting All might and bullshit happened. The animation is selling point of this show, not the story. Hence it got the popularity to normal or casual weebs like in this site. |
 |
| Another thing It get's hated is cause it's mainstream, while underrated animes don't have this curse. Kill la Kill was overrhated because It was way too popular. MHA probably got it's hate from people who either Naruto edgelords, or some that don't really like it. I think it safe to asume MHA is a show with flaws since day 1. Pacing problems is one thing. I don't get why people are overprasing the show for it's wonderfull story arcs that go way fast than expected. Alot of haters tend to speak the truth, while others just get mad. Another thing that borthers me is the sexism the show has. While Kill la Kill was beyond sexist, this one took the cake and treated Ochacko like shit, most of the girls don't get the spotlight since I don't really like them if ya understan. Anime sexism is a common thing. I never liket Anzu from Yu-Gi-Oh DM since she was hated, but atleast i found me a female character to like in future series. ARC-V was another show with sexist writing and that's the bottom line! |

Armados said: The series is filled with tropes. It does what its trying to do in an enjoyable way, but it doesn't bring anything new to the table. The plotline is pretty linear and repetitive - training arc -> invasion/villain arc -> training arc and so on. Also, heroes are heroes for the sake of being the good guys, villains are villains for the sake of being the bad guys - most characters lack depth and are categorized due to the role they chose on how they would influence society. Also, the manga started to bullshit things without planning for them previously. Many people dislike that, so it somewhat justifies the hate for some people. What the fuck?! Really? I haven't keep with the manga in years since this anime came out in my feeds back in 2016, but I kinda dropped it after 4 episodes since it felt rushed and not much focus it got. The only manga I do seem to like and enjoy are Fire Force and Dr. Stone whom both atleast don't have a toxic fanbase to the level of Naruto and MHA atm. |

| it also has the single worst main character of any shounen ever |
| Because it's very overrated for something that is so cliched and not that well written. It's not bad, just annoying to see all over the place when it's not even close to being special. |

' My story to this show is actually alot worse and kinda ruined my mood after a small part of the former people who follow me over my tumblr decide to block/unfollow and unfriend me since i changed alot and trust me. It's better to avoide those who only have nothing but a personality. I thought of leaving, but a whole year has changed me. MHA got me really bored most of my marathons and decide to drop if after Season 3 was a lettdown after ep 13. I never got the show and don't ever plan to make it my top 10 introduction list. I used to like Bakugo, but i am started to hate him since fans got on my case multiple times of liking him. |

BestBoiEren said: it also has the single worst main character of any shounen ever Even tho I can say Naruto is worse. MHA kinda ruined my mood by showing it's true colors during the 2nd cour of Season 3. It felt like a formula to me. The plotline is pretty linear and repetitive - training arc -> invasion/villain arc -> training arc and so on. I can see Season 4 being shorter than 14 episodes and that's is much my last straw. This show just got worse. |

| The show itself is not hated. Angry fanboys, insisting that this average generic shounen is a masterpiece, are. The show is at least acceptable and there is not so much hate as you think. Many people are just indifferent about this show and are slightly annoyed by its edgy fanbase. I'm not a hater. I watched first season without dropping and even enjoyed some moments, and rated it kinda high (4/10) |
