I wouldn't really say that per se They haven't been given their own personal arcs to shine but they have always maintained an importance and generally when it comes down to missions or doing something in a group they are positioned as leaders Jiro basically drove the whole wagon after the big arc with Overhaul. Momo is the leader in everything next to Iiya. Uraraka has had a few fights under her belt and more than just love interest of the MC And that's without getting into Manga Spoilers! Yea I left that one intentionally alone To put it simply the shining beacon to All Might who is looked at as the greatest hero, got his resolve from his mentor who was a woman

The heroes get a standing boovation from me. As a Canadian, it is only natural to boo the good guys. Jokes aside, one of the things I appreciate about the series the most are the compelling characters and interesting powers that some of them have. I also like how certain elements of the series are inspired by superhero comics themselves. Being a Marvel fan, it so was easy for me to get into the series. One of my biggest gripes when it comes to MHA however, is the fact the female characters aren't given enough opportunity to stand out in their own way. They're more or less stuck in a support role.I wouldn't really say that per se They haven't been given their own personal arcs to shine but they have always maintained an importance and generally when it comes down to missions or doing something in a group they are positioned as leaders Jiro basically drove the whole wagon after the big arc with Overhaul. Momo is the leader in everything next to Iiya. Uraraka has had a few fights under her belt and more than just love interest of the MC Come to think of it, that's a very good point to bring up when you consider their contributions throughout the series. I'll definitely go back and review that when I re-visit the series a second time. I tend to do that because sometimes, I feel there are important details you miss the first time around.

{Spoiler}My favorite part of today's episode was how Mina not only straight up Clockwork Orange'd Mineta in the dorm's common area, but nobody else even reacted to it.

Rock or Cena as AlMight.... The only way I can see this working is if it is set in the US in MHA’s world. MHA is intrinsically tied to Japan. This is not a property that you can just change the names and call it a day.

So, we're almost at the end of the season. Your thoughts? Both anime-onlies and manga readers? Be sure to put them spoilers on.

So I’m not fully caught up but to put it simply, I got up to the part that links to Vigilantes and…f***, dude. F***!

So... the season has ended. Your thoughts, people? Speculations on what the next season will bring, anime-onlies?

EDIT: Also because I forgot to post this in a while...next season seems to be nuts. I'm so looking forward to it.
And I don't have to wait long for new MHA content because the movie's showing over here at the end of the month!

So I'm finally, finally going to see World Heroes Mission tonight as I'm catching what seems to be the final screening of it over here and I'm genuinely looking forward to it. First time going to a movie with my sister since...the last My Hero Academia movie.

First time going to a movie with my sister since...the last My Hero Academia movie. Enjoy! I saw it last Friday night, and had a great time. I got a little booklet with information about the movie, and there's even a mini prequel comic. I think it's really impressive that it debuted as number 4 for the weekend. It's even more impressive when it managed to do so with being shown on less than 2,000 theater screens.

I've just come back from seeing it and, without spoilers...it might be the weakest of the three? In term of animation and music, it's a step up. Some of the re-scores of songs from the series are fantastic and are used in the right ways and there are some spectacular fight scenes, one, in particular, is a spinning shot where it captures all aspects of the battle and it's gorgeous. The plot...leaves a lot to be desired. The stakes are there but there seems to be more padding and dragging of scenes than there were for the others and some stuff that was teased in the trailer and even in parts of the film itself never really go anywhere. And considering the first two had moments where everyone shined, this felt more like a middle of the road DBZ film where Goku, Vegeta and Gohan/Piccolo get moments and everyone else does something else or cheers from the sidelines. If you're a megafan of the series, go for it. If you're just for the anime or manga...you can probably stick this one out. Unless you've found the perfect place in the canon for it {Spoiler}which, for the record, me and my sister "figured" it would be where My Villian Academia happens and everyone is so focused on the events of the movie they don't notice the village of villains fighting each other until it was too late .

Still haven't watched the season yet but plan to this weekend but I know the plot due to the Manga Basically, without any spoilers next season is going to be insane and this has been the build up I consider this season, and the stretch of the manga it covered to be MHA’s Prisoner Of Azkaban. Plot wise, not a whole lot actually happens, with the focus being more on world building and getting the pieces in their proper places for when the bad shit happens. And a small taste of said bad shit happening was experienced at the end.
