I personally call it boku no yaoi academia, for obvious reasons.

I say MHA because it’s less syllables for me. I’ve been hearing lots of people call it Hero Aca. though.

I often call it BNHA for whatever reasons and I think many people also do the same.

When I'm talking with fellow anime connoisseurs like myself, I use the term BNHA because we wholly understand the beauty of Japanese.

When I'm talking to a normie who has seen a few episodes of Naruto and claims to be an anime fan, I prefer to use the term MHA, so I can translate my superiority into simple terms for normies to understand.

Who in their right mind would be mad and lazy enough to call it HeroAca?

When I'm typing it I usually say BNHA. But if I'm talking to anyone on Discord it's always MHA. As an American, I wasn't meant to speak like the Japs.

Mha because it's shorter and if I'm talking to someone who doesn't watch anime or has only watched a few it's way more natural to call it by the english name. I basically only talk to people like that, I don't know anyone who's seen more than 3 anime. I usually just say heroaca though. Also it just sounds better than having so many languages in the same title.

If you don't say "Boku no Hero Academia" in real life, i don't think there is much reason to type it like BNHA. Same with AOT/SNK.

Probably the Japanese, since they use initialisms rather than abbreviations like "MHA" or "BHNA", because their basic lingistic unit is a symbolized syllable, not an alphabet letter.

So far I've been using both "BnHA" and "MHA" about iintrrchangeably, but...this is the best name.

I think it depends. Personally I stick with BnHA, but for people who watch the dub I guess it'd be MHA. Like I watch sub only to start but then every Saturday night I watch it on Toonami which is dubbed older/catching up episodes and its listed as MHA.

But my vote is BnHA.

I call it OPMw/oS

One Punch Man without Saitama.


Or perhaps OPMw/oCB = One Punch Man without Caped Baldy would be better?





BTW, why not just translate the archaic language into proper language instead of this "mish mash" of "My Hero Academia"? Just call it straight up "My Hero Academy".

If I'm talking about MHA verbally, I usually call it Hero Aca. If I'm texting or something I'll usually use "MHA;" unless it's a bunch of hardcore weebs that only use Japanese titles, then I'll use "BNHA" so I can fit in lmao

Thread moved and locked for being a random X vs Y thread.

One of the more pointless threads so far. No discussion to be had here. Also AD is for general anime discussions, not about a specific series.

Anime Discussion Rules 2: Please refrain from creating threads that do not encourage discussion; e.g. random "xx vs. yy", picture collecting, simple listing, etc.
