| (This thread applies to Boku no Hero Academia anime Seasons 1-3. I didn't know which board to post it on so I picked the most relevant.) This is something that's bothered me for a while, not so much because of the fact that "some people" don't like one of my favorite franchises, but more so because of the almost exclusive negative attention it garners. I personally don't understand. The first thing to guess is "because it's popular" but I've seen less criticism toward stuff like One Piece or SAO which are much more popular than HeroAca. Is it coincidence that I just "so happened" to see a lot of criticism toward this series at a consistent rate? Is it because the Anituber Who Must Not Be Named loves this series? Again I'm not trying to refute people who dislike this series I just want to know what drives them to pick on this specific show when there's a lot of other popular or legitimately bad stuff out there. |
| It is because it's popular and with anime haters are pretty easy to find, specially on MAL. Anime like SAO or My Hero Academia are shows that are bound to get a great amount of people who love the show and that will always bring people who hate them just for the reason that other people like it. They might not even watched more than two episodes of the show but instead of just dropping the show, they just give it a 1/10 rating and write a big fucking review about stupid shit they don't like so nobody can like it. My advice just watch what you enjoy watching and don't care about haters cause honestly it is just anime. |
| I think it js pretty much like SAO in that regard where some people like it but because of its popularity many like to dislike it. I think SAO did not get as much dislike generally due to many fans not really denying the criticisms toward the show which became a accepted opinion. |
 |
| When something gets liked by a huge amount of people, it always gets a proportionnal amount of hate. It's been like that for everything, Game Of Thrones, Stranger Things, Attack On Titan... I'd also say that it's got a pretty cancerous fanbase, but again, what popular show hasn't ? And finally, MAL is a website full of haters, if you want to see people who enjoy it and discuss respectfully about it, then Reddit is way better. |

IMO forums are a reason why people quit an anime before they even start watching to form their own judgement. Be happy and stay away from foruns, you enjoy an anime? Good. This is all that matters, nothing else. Truer words have never been spoken. You are truly an intelligent person Scythe, sadly the same cannot be said for a lot of people on this site & I really mean a lot. You have my respect. |

Frostbain said: First of all, if you enjoy watching it then keep watching it. Just because other people don’t like it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t too. But since you asked, i’m gonna explain. I don’t enjoy MHA that much because of a couple reasons. They waste their time fighting each other rather than fighting the villains. I think the tournament arc took like 12 episodes? That’s stupid. Nobody dies. Seriously, i’ve seen first 2 seasons and first half of season 3 and i don’t remember anyone important dying. It’s been a while though so i might have just forgot. Most of the battles depend on nothing else but who is the stronger one. All Might is struggling to beat that muscular monster from season 1? Let’s punch even faster... Characters suck. I have no problem with Deku being a crybaby but ‘‘I wanna be like All Might and save everyone’’ feels cheap you know. Bakugou is straight up an asshole and is jut too fucking annoying. The whole reason he exists is to annoy Deku so the show feels more shounen-ish. All Might... i think he’s not that bad honestly. Pls go away with nobody dies. I hate it, a character grows on you, and then he just dies. If this happened to a certain character in the anime, the anime would be destroyed for me. But otherwise good examples. |

The whole reason he exists is to annoy Deku so the show feels more shounen-ish. All Might... i think he’s not that bad honestly. I kinda hear you about the nobody dies part. But this time I think it's justified. The author is the kind of person who plans things, and who knows where his characters will go. So imo if a character isn't dead then it means it'll still have a somewhat relevance to the story. And also when you think about it, death is the easiest way to grow an attachment to a show, so MHA not jumping into it right now is in a way rewardable. (I'm not saying that shows who often kill charaters are not) Finally about the characters, like I said in another thread, there's nothing that could change your mind. The writing is the one thing in a show that cannot be appreciate the same way by everyone unlike animation or soundtrack. It's your personnal interpretation that defines your liking of a charater. |

| Most of he more popular shows either have a fanbase that ll burn you alive if you say anything negative about their favorite show or already received so much hate that nobody feels like adding even more. Also Mha gets sequels in a yearly basis which are usually highly rated and take a lot of awards at the Crunchyroll anime awards which also fuels the hate. |

| This series is fine by me, only watch it for the fight scenes. In my case most people i know didn't really hate MHA it at first, but after some MHA fans couldn't stop blabbering "best anime evah" and adding some political correctness, they start to hate it. Most hate comes in season 3 where the series popularity reached high level, i didn't see hate like this in season 1 & 2. |
| It is the current "big thing", so it's become trendy to hate it. Don't pay any attention, the crowd will soon move onto hating something else. |
  |
| Maybe people dont want to see a generic show. Thy want something "unique" and MHA is not one of those "unique" anime |
 |
| Most people who hype up My Hero seem to be very new to anime, so they praise the show for things that are nothing special or don't even exist in it. There is pretty much a whole youtube community dedicated to writing hour long analysis viedos about why My Hero is subversive, a deconstruction, not like other shounen at all, etc... It's like they're making money with their own ignorance. And the Hero fanboys blindly eat that shit up. |
| Because it is an overrated run of the mill shounen drivel with a two-dimensional and trope reliant cast of 90% background characters. The fact that we were able to predict so easily really shows how uninspired and formulaic the series is. |
asdf9911 said: I watch very few anime. When I saw/read My Hero Academia for the first time, didn't think much of it. It looked like another mediocre/above average action series, and I had enough of that with Bleach. Then, people started talking about it nonstop, so I decided to watch it again and discuss with others about this show. And that's the problem I have with this. ''I don't like My Hero Academia, here's why'' '''YOU ONLY HATE IT CAUSE IT'S POPULAR BEGONE HATER!!!11!!11'' I'm not here to tell you to stop liking whatever you like. But putting every person who doesn't feel that positive towards it into the same sack and disregarding all criticism as ''mindless hate/trolling/lol that doesn't count'' seems annoying to me. I don't hate this show. It has its problems, and I like to poke fun at it for them. But this show's fanbase has proved time and time again that it's not possible to have a proper conversation with twelve year olds. It's a shame that you faced this situation. There are atrocious people on both sides, hater who say only low-IQ 12-yo anime beginner likes it, and fanboys that can't accept critisism. Guess it's a curse of the medium. |

| Because it's one of the worst shounens ever made, YET it gets such a hype. It's trash and overrated, that's why it gets the hate it deserves -which is not enough IMO. It also has one of the worst fanbase ever. @Florent3571 reddit LMAO. r/ anime is a garbage place to be at tbh. |

| It's par for the course for popular shonen series. BnHA was somehow getting praise despite being painfully average when it first began so now the criticism (or "hate") is catching up with it. Think of it as the show reaching equilibrium |

Sounds about right. |

| This discussion is ridiculous. What hate? Look at the insanely high score this has and almost overwhelming praise in the comments and discussion. You want hate? Check out Aku no Hana (the anime). Now that's hate! |

| SAO gets less criticism than BnHA? What are you on mate? I'd love to have some... I mean seriously, freaking everybody loves BnHA, stop trying to feel sorry for yourself because you saw some negative criticism against your precious anime. |

The show simply didn't interest you, that's it. It doesn't make it a bad show. Horror games don't interest me but that doesn't make them bad games. |
