One of my biggest problems of the show is how Bakugo's character arc was wrapped up by season 3/4 and he was still one of the main characters. He never does anything of value or even remotely interesting that only he could accomplish and his character doesn't develope in any way anymore. The author should either completely sideline Bakugo or he should've given him some depth beyond "I was a bully but I grew out of it"
Although I personally think that Bakugou still deserves to be a main character, I do agree that they should’ve waited to do his arc. Season 6 Bakugou character arc was okay, but the season 7 and possibly 8 is going to be huge for him, especially *spoiler alert* in chapter 362-410. If they waited til something bigger, then it would’ve been written better.
@@Ayame.Spicer then he wouldn't have anything in the first couple of seasons I think his biggest problem is how he relies entirely on Deku. He has has a little bit of interaction with characters that aren't Deku but his whole arc surrounds the mc. He's like the female love interest that doesn't have any substance beyond the guy they love
@@juannaym8488 You've got a point. Bakugou is a hard character to make work if you look into it. Even though he has his own ambitions, he's just kinda there. I can see that the writers at least tried to note that he was going through and processing something, probably going after the whole, "He's a good person," "Wait no, he's my enemy," to the "I want to apologize but I don't know how and I know he will never forgive me" kind of prompt. It could've been at least ok if they built up his arc over the seasons, but other than like, 4 episodes, there never really was anything about this and the apology came out of nowhere. I remember watching his arc in seasons 3-4, and then watching season 6 and being like, "M'kay ssssoooo where did this come from? when did he express that much regret for bullying him?" In other words people gotta write psychological and mental related arcs better. They never really told us about he was feeling besides a few scenes, so we don't have any deep understanding with him besides his either A, parent issues, and B, his angst with Deku. So yes, you are correct.
This is strange to say while season 6 is the highest rated season of the show across every aggregate website, the series is like the number one in-demand anime in America and streams in the top 5 in Japan. The manga sales literally peaked this past year I’m sorry but I’m not seeing what you’re talking about.
Well the animation is undeniably rough in Season 6 and they use a lot of flashbacks and stock footage rather than continue with the story at hand. Half the time episodes are 30% recaps but I am really hoping now that the war arc has ended we can stop that approach
@@kennethsatria6607 What? It looks well-done for the yearly production cycle, it has sakuga cuts, we just didn’t get like a nakamura-esque fight scene.
Sales don't equal quality. A lot of people have been complaining about the story failing since around this point in the anime. There are some amazing things that happen but a lot of it is rushed or feels under baked because of how much has to happen now that we are in the end game.
From what I’ve seen and what bones has shown is that 1: Horikoshi’s art just kept on getting better 2: due to time constraints they couldn’t use all of the animation they made . If you look at the story boards that has a higher quality compared to the final product . Lots of animation and voice lines were scrapped
@@BowlOfStainlessSoup I think that was a different animation team . They weren’t just given enough time. For instance lots if spinners lines were cut and scenes like toga’s awakening basically had half of its original animation scrapped. In the original version toga zigzaging through the crowd is way smoother and is more expressive .
Yeah, I agree with having too many characters problem. We've already started with massive cast of characters, and show seemed like it was going to focus on them. But then cast kept growing and growing...
To be true I actually enjoyed S6 a lot than any other season each episode after episode I was waiting for next episode like I loved it 🔥 and about Animation and others also I loved it
@@Langello0o I'm tired of this. (The studio didn't try) or some shit like this. Japan animators are anything but lazy. That happens when a 2 cour high profile Show like MHA only has over a 1 year schedule.
@@A1000-b9s I’m also tired of the (Bone didn’t try)crap. The animation in this season was literally really good, I’m genuinely shocked people looked at all that, like the Miriko fight and are acting like it’s bad animation like “Seven Deadly Sins” type of animation. It’s just that people expected to have a Nakamura animated fight, like what he did with Deku vs Overhaul or Iida popping off in season 5 during the joint training arc. Even though Nakamura didn’t animate some scenes in the arc, it’s still really well animated and a massive improvement from the 2nd half of S5. Especially since they only had a year to work on 25 episodes per season.
I disagree on it’s popularity. It has gotten more popularity and exposure than ever before. Mha is only right below dragon ball and Naruto in popularity
I think people need to have more stats on popularity and where they get it from because it can vary depending on region and platform you go to. People maybe going off one aspect like maybe Twitter engagement (say I haven't heard X people talking about Y, so there for it is not popular) but maybe not looking at the big picture for the assessment.
The still shots of Mirio fighting Overhaul in season 4 weren’t present in the manga and instead it was just a text saying how hard Mirio fought. You could say the anime added at least something rather than making a black screen and have someone narrate it. All of Overhauls fights in season 4 had very fluid animation especially him versus Midoria so I really don’t know what you were on about.
Wait hold on…you mean to tell me, that all this time people and especially manga readers were complaining about the quirkless Mirio fight being a bunch of still frames, when in the manga they literally got nothing but a black page and texts, about how long Mirio fought?! Bruh what?! I was also kinda bothered by the still frames at the end of that fight, but to know that they didn’t even have that in the manga but Bones actually gave us something, just makes me appreciate the stills they put in with the OST they used. I’d rather have that than a black screen with dialogue and subtitles. And even before that the fight was 🔥. The heck were they complaining about?!
@@t.j.1584 If you don’t believe me you can go compare the two sequence (end of chapter 152 and the end of episode 11 of the 4th season) and you’ll see that the manga has some white page with some narration on it meanwhile the anime removed the narration and instead added the still shots. Manga readers ESPECIALLY MHA’s are always so hyperbolic when it comes to the anime like not long ago a common critisims of this latest season was ‘’we’re in the middle of a war and the sky is too blue”… It’s sad to see mha manga readers ruining the anime for themselves and also going out of their way to ruining it for anime only’s as well😞
@@lpassione I just saw the chapter and wow…some of these MHA manga readers are some ungrateful little freaking crybabies. All they got was a white background with texts but they out here complaining about Bones at least giving us stills showing us something about that fight! Bruh, my disappointment in this fandom is immeasurable. First we got the toxic shippers and now we have these ungrateful crybabies being hyperbolic, treating it like it was done dirty like The promised neverland (Season 2). They got a white background with texts, while the anime actually let us see stills of the fight. I appreciate the stills a lot more knowing how that fight went down in the manga.
@@lpassione I’m actually not this surprised given by how I remember seeing some MHA “fan” on Twitter make a whole 8 page essay about why he hates how the clouds look in the anime. And now they’re saying “we’re in the middle of a war and the sky’s blue” like bruh the whole arc literally takes place in the day, what?! Heck in the manga there’s chapter 256 that’s literally titled “The high, deep blue sky” and chapter 284 titled “Deep blue battle” with Deku and shiggy in the air. Like did they not expect a blue sky during an arc that took place in the day? Heck even in real life war can take place during the day. And if the anime decided to change it to nighttime, the complaints would be even worse, and they’d be saying “it’s not accurate to the source material”.
@@lpassione I swear the complaints and hate this series gets, even from it’s own “fans” feels forced, like there just grasping for straws trying to find something to hate about it. These hyperbolic crybabies and toxic shippers, is literally why some people get turn away from the anime.
The only difference I noticed from my own research was that the directors changed from Season 3 onwards. it went from Kenji Nagasaki to Masahiro Mukai. Does anyone know their role in the production, and if that changed anything? I know very little about the anime industry. Also, I was in the same boat xD If the second cour of this season turns out similar to previous seasons, I am just going to recommend the manga from Season 3 onwards. The new opening gives me hope though, because it has been a while since we have seen animation that good coming from My Hero, and no movie seems to be planned.
Yeah, that was something I noticed didn't make much sense when watching. Man, the more I think about this video the worse it gets. It lacks research and they really should have polished the script (if one was used) but gotta try to farm those hater clicks.
@Kirchenlied According to Parrot Analytics, MHA is like the number one in-demand anime in America and streams in the top 5 in Japan. Heck the manga sales literally peaked this past year. The heck are you getting your re-search from?
He seems to be wondering why a series not made by MAPPA is not like animated like the series made by...MAPPA. I guess they've really spoiled anime viewers and raised their expectations to the sky.
I dont need that self indulgent realism rotoscope driven shit I just want Old MHA animation back where they dont kill the quality of character drawings. I have been noticing they abuse the spinning top animation a lot with Endeavor and Miruko's fights and it just feels lazy. And thats only when they actually animate. Half the time its still shots and reused stock footage why do they have to be so cheap with MHA its killing the momentum!
Yeah, I've come to realize that I'm from a different generation when it comes to all this anime stuff. Dude's are mad spoiled when somehow comparing animation styles from completely different studios. Just compare it to past seasons or other works the studio created like Mob being the only good example.
@@JusaWanderer Did bones always do MHA?? I feel like even with mob, s1 had the best animation. S3 has some great high points but I just rewatched Season 1 and i was like god DAMN this had great animation.
@@whirlwind872 Yes, Bones has always done MHA. Personally I think season 2 had the most consistent quality. Things just change unfortunately, the director for the series was changed after season 3 and it's pretty noicted around season 4. Bones also got way more projects over the years and broke up these projects into several teams working on them at once. Members from these teams bounce between one another, which is why you can see noticeable dips and raises with something like season 4 looking pretty decent then goes hyper mode during Deku vs Overhaul for example. I will say the director has gotten better with season 6 or a least more help for individual whoever is the lead director for that episode. Like episode 11 for season 6 as an example.
8:32 just to correct you on that, no. All 3 movies are canon, horikoshi states how he and his team work hard to make sure the movies can fit into the story and there's been references to the movies in the manga.
correct me if i’m wrong but in one of the earlier seasons all might told midoriya they had to take a trip to somewhere, and then the next episode never addressed that. I’m pretty sure that was leading up to the first movie so yes like you stated they are definitely canon
This show fell off after the eri arc. The whole war arc came way too soon and the show is now breaking its own rules. Deku shouldn't have other quirks, it defeats the contrast of OFA and AFO. All the characters suddenly have no limits and just keep going to extreme hights. Like I understand toga was bioengineeref to be a monster but come on, being super strong even under Eraser head quirk makes no sense. The war arc is filled with plot holes that make it seems its more of a fanfic of the original show.
The "where the budget went" segment was filled with misinformation. (7:40) 1) The production committee already confirmed that the team and budget is totally separate for the movie. 2) even if the movies were taking the budget then why doesn't S6 look good? S6 has no movies with it. 3) in studio bones they have separate teams (A-D) team B works on mob psycho and team C works on mha. So, the budget and team for both anime are different. 4) the main issue with mha is the schedule they have and you failed to mention it even once. Mob Psycho got 2 years to animate 12 eps and mha got 1 year to animate 25 eps how can you even compare? I like your vids but this one was just filled with false info.
The animation this season has been pretty good, definitely not season 2-3 levels but it’s way better than what we got from my villain academia’s adaptation, this season has had some really strong sequences of good animation overall, But it’s not really the staffs fault that the scheduling has gotten so bad that animation ideas and project that could’ve been approved got shut down because there probably wasn’t even enough time finish them, it’s quite hard to animate two arcs in the production span of 1 year, arcs that have some of the more harder moments to animate, The anime hasn’t fallen off seriously, it’s still like on the top 10 most watched animes in Japan and In the west, IMO, this season is the best since season 3 and is honestly great considering the terrible scheduling that the animators are given, the story is still enjoyable tho so I don’t rlly get what u mean, this animes a running 8.5/10 for me.
Ya... although I still think there are some moments better animated than s2 and 3... but definitely some parts that aren't as good... just my view tho 🫠
I think this season has given us some if the best animated sequences in the series so far. It’s the consistency that’s the problem. If we take the quality we’ve gotten and the consistency together, I’d say this season has reached some middle ground between what season 4 and 5 gave us, and the first 3. If the studio takes their time with next season, things are sure to turn out even better.
I like art though I'm not going to gallery's to just trash talk about another person work n do any of u look at other art besides anime even graphics can b mostly filler wen not following scientific properties even though reality is stranger than fictional graphics let alone animate a scene that's in the air so deku protects the environment n people so theirs less to visualize yet non of u can picture empty space n assume its the persons in charge fault, know art before u measure it.
@@PoIarisPrime haven't ate there but I'll vouch for them Also I still think MHA is really good, and I haven't seen a ton of the manga but it's still pretty cool
@@starrush1818 in n out is really goated only behind five guys, possibly McDonald’s at times, (when you ask them to make the food fresh) and more importantly home made burgers
As another youtuber pointed out and from my point of view, the main issue was both the bad direction of the anime from season 4 to nowadays and the greed of Studio Bones. The direction makes everything flow. Up to season 3 it was perfectly organized, but from the very beginning of season 4 it was just a mess. The Overhaul arc was right away rushed, then it went slow, all the way to the festival arc with Gentle. Many disliked it because they stayed so long in the most casual parts that by the time the fight started, most people didn't really care. Then, because of the movies, where most of the budget went, the most hyped arcs of My Hero had inconsistent animation and pacing because they wanted to spend the least amount of budget they could on it. MHA is their Goose That Laid Golden Eggs, so they went all in with movies that no one asked for to drag in more audience, but neglect the goose itself in the process. This was greed in its purest form. The reason they delayed the LOV's arc and made sure to reduce it as much as they could was that when that arc came out in the manga, it didn't sell well in Japan, and therefore they were afraid the audience would drop when it came out in the anime as well. Sure, the censorship was part of it as it removed part of the weight of many scenes (like Kirishima having his body covered in blood after his fight with Rappa, or Shigaraki killing his family), but unfortunately, as it is transmitted in TV for children to see it too they had to tone it down.
@@IzukuMidoriya-hj1xm Nah man, Deku's black whip didn't have any actual physics, the manga literally made it seem like Deku was playing ping pong with shigaraki, it had no intensity in the anime, no exciting pacing and tons of static frames when this should have been the most well animated episode of the whole show so far (at least it deserved that). At least endeavor's attack looked good and there was a single good punch but well....
@@IgorJCorrea it was exciting what??? It’s literally the highest rated episode of the season on every place you can rate something, I guess people disagree
@@IzukuMidoriya-hj1xm the original content is amazing, that is why it deserved the best production, instead we somehow got the ep with the worse production so far in the season which blows my mind, if I was in charge I would literally put all resources possible into making this ep a masterpiece first and then go for the rest of the episodes.
Fr, and don’t forget about the Endeavor fight against the high end Nomu, that crap was literally 🔥, S4 of MHA is probably the most underrated season of MHA by far.
*Yutaka Nakamura* (the one who animated many parts of new S6 Pt 2 OP action scenes) who usually does the flashy animation for MHA (like in movies, Deku vs Shoto in S2, Overhaul fight in S4, etc) said he was busy during part 1 of S6, but he may be present somewhere for part 2 besides OP (mentioned on his twitter).
Bro season 6 is the best so far (in terms of story). The only thing that really got worsened was its presentation, NOT THE ANIMATION, just the way how it looks (still not horrible tho) But yeah, the fact that season 5 horribly adapted the manga just hurts me, that's why I give more importance to the original work now.
It sounds like the guy who animated the super big amazing fight scenes was busy during Cour 1 of the season but will come back for Cour 2, so the animation should be cool
@@raec5426 Its only the friggin animation that leaves you bitter about the anime. The manga despite loosing steam in its duration and release dates I will always love it just needs proper footing.
In season 6 only one episode animation quality was down. Others episodes animation quality was ok. But here we go some people be like they ruined the whole season.
I think it's obvious why the animation just keeps getting worse. These guys make a 25 episode season every single year. Some people keep asking why mob had better animation. Think about it, mob has like 3 years for a 13 episode season to be made. The management is terrible. Honestly I'm surprised how good it's been looking so far with this management
This season has been amazing, there has been only one episode with some flaws on the animation (ep 9) and expect cour 2 to be even better bcuz Yutaka Nakamura said he’s going to animate scene in cour 2.
my problem is that no matter how much the characters go through an episode later they are childish and the scenes are trying to be funny when they are not supposed to be.The pacing needs to be fixed too llike the fights are short but the pointless goofy scenes that have no meaning take up an entire episode.They are trying to stretch the anime too like some time the intro and outro themselves are ten minutes long
The main flaw I see in your analysis is you put MHA in the category of going wrong, irrelevant, poor animation quality, struggling. Mob Psycho is used as a contrast, with good animation and therefore an assumption that the show is doing well. Yet as far as I can see Mob is hardly talked about at all, or at least a fraction of even a struggling MHA let alone peak MHA. The MHA movies makes 10s of millions at the box office, a live action Netflix adaptation has been commissioned. The show still trends on twitter after episode air. If that's a struggling show then 99% of anime shows want to be a struggling show. Is there less hype now, sure I would say so, but that's mainly due to becoming an established property with set expectations verses being an underdog and something people view as underrated and want to promote. People tune into MHA expecting Nakamura to have animated every scene and are disappointed when a simple conversation scene between characters doesn't have sakuga. Its a dumb and irrational expectation. You can take bad instances of MHA animation and put them next to good animation from another series, but what about putting the good animation scene form MHA and putting them next to the good animations scenes of other seires. Another point, animation quality is actually not that important to the overall appeal of an animation. Otherwise older shows with objectively inferior animation quality wouldn't be as liked, but they are beloved still. Its story, plot, character, meaning, emotion, intellectual stimulation that keep people engaged in and interested in a series, all things you didnt mentioned once. People don't watch and love sports-romance anime because of the mind blowing animation it presents to them. You either havent thought about this topic yourself and are simply parroting opinions you have heard from others or you have become one of these people that has lost perspective and fixates on animation while disregarding the most important aspect of creative storytelling.
Season 6 has been great overall. Definitely a step up from Seasons 4 and 5. They also improved the animation, storyboarding and made some great episodes.
no season 6 just reinforces the issues in 4-5 which is the garbage writing and the fact that the author can't keep his story strait. Like originally MHA was supposed to be about the issues that come along with hero society and the need to take personal responsibility. Then the author decides to do a 180 on that and show us that we all need to obey authority and defer to those with authority during a crisis, and of course those with authority can do no wrong the hero's are all prefect people, and if they fail it's not their fault it's the peoples fault for not believing in them like WTF was this written for a 5 year old, dude forgot that he was trying to write about how these institutions get corrupted by fame and fortune.
@@colin8696908I’m pretty sure the only entire show is about how Heroes aren’t perfect and how Corrupt they actually are. Season 4 and 5 were about plot. They needed certain factors for future season/ manga. For example; The first half of season 4 was needed for the manga and All for One needing Rewind in some way; the second half was mainly filler, but Gentle Criminal and La-Brava are needed in the manga as well. Season 5 was everyone showing how they improved since the start since everything goes to hell after the first Hero Villain War. The second half of the season is about mastering Black Whip and emotions (since emotions are the thing that drove Deku to going emo.) Season 6 was all about what Shigaraki’s goal was at the end of season 6. To show how fragile society was without there Symbol of Peace (which he turned out to be correct because All for One is 10x stronger than any hero alive.)
I told you so. I was telling EVERYONE when this show came out they they only liked it for the superhero aspect and nothing more. Deku was a character who had potential if they had made him a Batman type character with no powers. But for whatever reason, set him up with no powers only to give him some anyway. Strike 1. He's reason for recieving said powers was also stupid. Considering Mirio was clearly the better candidate. But they had All Might give Deku the powers, because he had more passion even though Mirio fit the bill right from the get go. That's strike 2. And finally the villains are nothing more than villain of the weeks. I mean I know they’ve since made them more intimidating, but they should've been that way from the beginning. You don't set up your main villains of your story to be beaten by children in the first half of it. No, you build them up as an actual threat. Not make them punching bags for everyone and laugh at them as though they were a joke. That's strike number 3. I tried to tell everyone, I really did. But no one wanted to listen to me. I knew this anime would fall off sooner or later it was just a matter of time of how long it take for people to get their brain cells back.
@@kwayneboy1524 I did though. I tried to tell everyone that this show wasn't as good as everyone hyping it up was saying. But all they did was say I didn't understand, or I was dumb.
I blame COVID. MHA was popular before the lockdown. After lockdown a lot of anime came back and it's been hard to keep up if you are a casual fan of anime/Manga
I stopped reading at manga #9 myself. There was a multitude of reasons why the story just wasn't working for me. Part of that is due to very problematic characters from a narrative standpoint. The villains literally have not one but two characters who could instantly triumph over all protagonists with no difficulty whenever they want. One of the villains can simply take any quirk used against him for himself. The other villain can kill anyone but is himself completely invincible/unkillable. That means the story is only allowed to continue purely through plot device, which is irritating. But the real problem with the plotline, at least for me, was that it embraced the modern shonen trope of rejecting a series of smaller story arcs with a main villain capping off each one and instead introducing the main villain early on but having the villain continuously triumph/evade the protagonists for the duration of the story before finally having a resolution. As a general rule, I hate that...because it gives the idea of protagonist stagnation and futility. I put up with it in some series like "Demon Slayer" because the main antagonist there is never front-and-center or personally pitted against the protagonists. Plus the overall series is comparatively short. Other series, like "One Piece", are able to mitigate it by making the main antagonist not the central motivation of the protagonists but rather putting the full focus on the smaller arcs (at least...until after the mid-series timeskip in which it started suffering from the same problem...). That's not the case with this series. The main antagonists are constantly front and center just to show how ineffective the protagonists are and how little character agency they possess. I never got the sense that Midorya or any of his classmates actually ever grew as characters, because their opponents either continuously got the better of them or were unaffected by their actions. The villains are hung out like a carrot on a stick in front of the audience endlessly teasing a final confrontation that never comes. On the other hand, making the protagonists simple, obedient students who constantly have to play by the rules of equally-ineffective mentors just makes things worse. In situations like this, it's impossible for me to feel any sense of accomplishment by the triumphs of the protagonists because you know those triumphs are meaningless as they left no impact on the main antagonists. When that happens, all other encounters with all other opponents become "noise"...some stepping stone I wish they would hurry up and get over so we can get back to dealing with the real threats.
I thought the first three seasons were epic! Season four had an absolutely phenomenal first half, in my opinion, then an okay second half that was made up for with the first half. Then season 5 came along and was an absolute mess. Season 6 started rough, but managed to pull through to provide some solid moments and an interesting enough story. MHA is in a weird place, and I hope their situation gets figured out, cuz I’ve been reading the manga and it’s absolutely stellar!
animation fell off from season 6 and now they are on season 7 and still there is no improvement. Soo many great pannels and they keep fumbeling them, they should have never changed the team working on it.
i read the manga and watched the anime and i liked them both. and imho, season 4 is peak mha even though so many people complain about mirio's animation, even though mirio vs overhaul still manages to make me tear up and get hype because of how emotional and powerful the moment is. only thing about season 4 i hate is kirashima and choji (oops, i mean "fatgum") vs those forgetable villains, and then sasuke (oops again, i mean "suneater") vs those other forgetable villains. i know there are kirishima, fatgum, and suneater fans who were probably mad hype from those fights, but the whole time i was honestly like "who fucking cares"
0:51 "four seasons later *and the series isn't talked about as much as it used to be*" This video is based on a flawed premise -- that a decline in discussion must have been caused by a *decline in quality*. Isn't it true for *any* long-running series, that the episode-count becomes a larger barrier to entry to casual fans? The fifth season of a show will naturally have a smaller viewing audience versus season 1, and that's not a judgment of a series' quality. We can't tie quality to viewership. Take **Andor** as an example of an incredible show which hasn't seen the same viewership as the other Star Wars series. Take **Better Call Saul** as a multiple-season long series which didn't have as much discussion among mainstream audiences in its latter seasons.
I don't think problem is anime only , manga gotten worse too. deku got so much unrelated powers , main villian Tomura Shigaraki is as interesting watching the paint dry. this anime beyond saving
The characters just have terrible character development. Deku gets the best powers possible so he doesn't rlly have to develop much as a character. Also the villians mostly have no good reason for doing what they're doing
I stopped watching after season 3, mainly because I ended up feeling burnt out from all the anime I was trying to keep up with… so I ended up not watching anime again for a hot minute. I just back into anime this year when I decided to watch at least one anime a month.
As a manga reader whose been hating on the past 2 seasons of the anime, I gotta say that season 6 so far is the best the show has been since season 3, maybe even season 2. Even with some off model frames with characters here and there, the animation and layouts have been consistently well done and interesting. The most important reason I'm loving this season is because of the pacing, it's actually well done and gives time to important manga moments without feeling too slow like the last 2 seasons have been. There are some things like lighting or the detail on Shigaraki that they can work on, but I'm the of the former, it's consistent with what the show has looked like most of the time, if not all. Complaining about the comparing out rendering not being Ufotable, TYBW or CSM levels is just getting upset over what we never had. The show looks consistently good this season and does everything it needs to bring this important arc to life extremely well. Comparing to Mob is also not really helpful, as MHA has been airing 2 cour seasons over the past 5 years annually while Mob has had only 3 seasons aired around 3-4 years apart. Mob is one of the Studio Bones passion projects, while MHA (particularly because of it's length and popularity as a long running Jump series) is produced in a different way. Even if I love the current season so far, I also hope that this second half is better.. because Lady Nangant is the best.
Your saying the downfall is because of bad animation and missing parts however the main problem is MHA wasn't interesting in the first place. The gaps in logic in the series takes away from suspense and really any emotion tbh. Shigaraki for example. He was able to track Midoriya down in a mall but yet he can't tell where Midoriya lives and can't get to his mother? Its almost as if the questions that should have been answered to make the characters actual people aren't even given thought into. Same with most recent arcs where Midoriya leaves U.A. it's as if him losing himself doesn't exist but he lost himself entirely. This problem was inside MHA from the very begining.
Damn personally the Mirio fight is one of my favorites in the series. It’s not because of the visuals of course but purely because of mirios determination.
Imo it’s just difficult to take the story seriously it doesn’t feel like there is anything at stake and there is nothing that surprises you (the vigilante spin off series is honestly way better)
Then i have good news...!!! Anime animations studios always tidy up animation after the TV release for the BD (Bluray) release :D So these episodes are not the final product at all, for the tidy up character models, shading and lightning~ Here are some examples of the past seasons: Season 1 (famous) example: external-preview.redd.it/7mHj-WdD4P5J61UkewXtCw19lRoN-UWwvHljCKT82jc.jpg?auto=webp&s=31a94ac86b9bf703784615426aeb5dc2f8046e50 Season 5 example: i.redd.it/oq09mugk8qc81.png Season 5 Shirigaki closeup: pbs.twimg.com/media/FJcwJ0dWUAEcXIp.jpg
I’m in 2024 and I don’t remember anyone talking about the show not my job, not my family nothing The only time I remember it is like in my mind. I’m thinking about a random anime. It pops up. But I feel like the show fell so hard 💀
2:24 chainsaw, man was not animated poorly out of the 60+ anime I have watched in the past 10 years of my life to include Naruto JoJos bizarre adventure etc This was very close, but the best story I think I’ve ever seen Fujimoto is truly a genius, but due to hemino being generally criminal, Denji being mostly unlikable, and the fact is disguised as a show character, despite being extraordinarily complex followed with kobeni’s realism overall caused the first season to tank but the international assassins’s arc is fucking amazing and chapters 71-97 {can’t spoil the name for this arc} is what transformed the show from being extraordinary, in my opinion to one of my favorites
I’m an anime only guy and season 6 started out fast and on fire with the hero operations. But during that same arc the momentum after episode 4 or 5 just went down the drain
It is interesting how people love to hate on My hero academia, even when it is being incredibly good. It is not a consistently good anime for sure, but it is solid. It baffles me this guy spent as much time as he did mocking MHA.
The Deku vs Shigi fight was the biggest letdown I've felt in years. I'd been so hyped to see it for so long. And despite the disaster of MVA's adaptation, the way they had embraced the gore gave me hope. Then the season opened strong with some well done Mirco scenes. I dared to hope. Season of build up. The protag and the antag finally going to fight for the first time. Multiple new quirks activating and being revealed. Limbs being lost. Lived ending on either side. All out desperation on both sides. This was going to be good... And then to see Deku's shockwave inducing barrage of punches feeling weaker than his single finger baseball toss from season one. I was expecting the broken heroes on the ground to barely be able to stand as the shockwaves ripped through the decimated city. I wanted to see the look of awe and fear and disbelief at the scale of the battle going on above their heads. I wanted the to see them struggeling to even think of how to aproach such a battle to help Deku. But no. We got a blue pastel sky giving everything a saturated happy hew. Slow music with no tension. Voice actors sounding mildly annoyed in place of screaming in desperation. And then it was over. At least the Nagant fight this week was well animated. Honestly surprised they didn't change it to sunny daytime and color it like a scene from the Teletubbies or something again.
Idk I’m not the biggest fan of MHA, I thought season 4 was pretty bad, but I’ve liked all the other seasons. From someone that hasn’t read the manga, I saw nothing wrong with season 5 and quite enjoyed it.
I like the arcs Season 6 is going over so the animation downgrade doesn't bother me too much but Season 7 is when things are really going to go downhill...I most likely will be skipping S7 because the actual final war has been very disappointing to me, I'll stick with the manga though just to see how it ends.
It’s just writing , Horikoshi is good at writing a scene but not the buildup . IMO , Deku should have gone into hiding maybe training under Stain . Give us that feeling that the world is going to shit. In the manga it’s just a couple of chapters and then he goes back.
the anime is falling off, because the manga fell off. I don't think alot of anime watchers cared that much about the animation, at the beginning the story was the number 1 reason why everyone watched, since anime is season based, it makes total sense that alot of anime watchers are about to read the manga when anime is on hold, and the manga just became terrible. So there is no reason to go and watch the next season in anime when you know the story sucks lol. Nobody important ever dies, people are brought back to life constantly, or are never dead to beginn with and it was just a fake death, (kind of like what fairy tail did) the manga also feels 1 Dimensional. For example when deku wanted to leave the school and be on his own like all might? How many chapters was that? 5? until he was back in school? So hori just failed in every aspect possible. Shigaraki even if he has "cool abilities" or looks "cool" is a 1dimensional villain, all he wants to do is to "destroy", there is no real goal besides "destroying the world" because i am still mad that i killed my parents at the age of 5 or w.e age he was. All for one was the mastermind behind all of it, yet you see what happened to him in the manga lmao. Also all for one's backstory had to be turned into doggy writting aswell because otherwise people might have gotten even more upset of how the story is playing out into favor of shigaraki, so all for one went from "i wanna rule the entire world" to "i hate everyone for no reason". Not to mention that this is prob the last fight anyways now, so shigaraki might lose soon aswell and the entire story is over. It's just so weird, in my opinion boku no hero became worse compared to other good mangas even old one's, and at the beginning boku no hero showed signs that it could be much better than ur "average good manga" story but ultimately turned out to be even worse, so everyone quit it because they are dissapointed lol. that said if we watch closely, the most famous mangas are mangas who actually have the balls to kill off "good" characters which makes total sense. If you never kill anyone important ever, you're story loses it's thrill. there is no reason to watch or stay excited if there is no risk of losing someone special.
You guy's should be more critical of the overall writing. MHA is basically a 101 on how to not write your story. There is to much for me to fit into a single comment but Eri for example is basically a writing black hole since her powers warp the entire show around her. Then you have season 6 were the author did a 180 on the theme of the show. Which originally was the need for people to take individual responsibility instead of deferring to authority. Essentially the same theme as "psycho pass" but now your not only supposed to defer to authority in a crisis but the show is critical of people even trying defend themselves. not to mention all the hero's are basically portrayed as prefect when originally the show was supposed to explore the commitment and moral weaknesses of many hero's who were in it for the fame and furtion.
Now that Mob psycho is over, I have hopes for part 2. Pls don't fuck up my favorite arc. Btw Season 6 wasn't bad at all. The only things that went wrong, were giving ep 4 and 5 incredible animation instead of ep 9, making the season look to bright and censor sometimes. Besides that this season was really good, so I'm not complaining, because it could haven been way worse.
Honestly I’ve just checked out of MHA around Deku vs shigaraki fight 😅 I’m sure it’s still pretty popular manga wise but when you were part of the hype in 2016 and you compare it to now ? Wasted potential. Way too many things dragged out (feels like RWBY), in the meantime new fresher and hyper manga came up (Tokyo Revengers, JJK, Chainsaw etc )
In my opinion, the two arca being switched around wasn’t the worst this, i was so able to understand it completely even without reading most of that part in the manga. Not to mention they were still entertaining as hell. Also i do understand the not so good quality of season 4 and 5, some parts where a little embarrassing, but the movie’s animation? no. i mean for the most part, it was great. great movie, great visuals and great story line. (bakugo and todoroki’s fights at the end where 10/10) but MIDORIYA’S fight, i was in tears in the movie theater, it made no sense what was happening it was literally a 20 minute fight of the same thing over again and then he does some pokemon shit. it was crazy, and i’m honestly so disappointed in it.
I can agree that the animation in these important fights could’ve been better. But I think you are in the minority in this opinion here buddy the animation was good enough and also if you have a good enough story and continuity it can make up for the lower quality animation which in this case what it looks like the great majority here agree that it really wasn’t that bad. If it’s not your cup of tea it’s fine but My Hero’s biggest problem that people have with it is that the creator can’t stick with a narrative. Like we go from All For One vs. All Might to Gentle Villain and then after that a training arc? Like bro keep the momentum going at least make the story progress lol if he keeps up this consistency that he has rn and keeps the continuity flowing like he has been doing in these seasons the anime can rise up to popularity again because it is a good story
This is such a dumb video lol... I think the top comments explained it well... and it's funny that I saw a video minutes ago in my recommended talking about how the new season has drawn him in so much... but he still points out things he's personally not a fan of... and he's very respectful...
yeah even as someone who loves season 6 I must admit the first cour's animation and art wasn't all that impressive, though it's seems like the studio might be putting their best foot forward with the second cour based on the first 2 episodes, at least to me lol
idgaf about mha anymore. lost interst in s4 after that shitty overhaul arc and I tried to watch upto s5, was bored out the mind. Im glad mob got the good treatment.
Other than the Openings and Endings I haven't watched the anime since season 3. Horikoshi's art is pretty amazing, and that is how I decided I want to remember MHA. Other than the final fight between Shoto and Dabi taking WAY too long I've been consistently satisfied with MHA.
The biggest issue with the anime imo that you didn’t touch on is the director change. Ever since they changed directors between seasons 3 and 4 you could tell the adaptation has suffered. Funnily enough, I honestly think the animation is fine, after all aside from deku vs shigaraki we’ve gotten some of the best scenes of animation this season since season 3. And aside from Yutaka Nakamura being absent for the first cour due to mob psycho, the “dip” in animation shouldn’t be credited towards bones animating mob psycho at the same time, since they are handled by two different sub-studios and has had a longer production time than my hero.
@@raec5426 yeah I’m excited, the thing that most ppl don’t realize about Yutapon is that he has so much influence he can pick and choose what scenes he wants to do, hence iida vs mudman, animating a random anime only scene in s4, etc
Yeah, the animation has been good to serviceable this season to be honest. Plus this is personal taste but I always found the Deku vs Shigi stuff pretty mediocre in "action" but really enjoyed the writing around that part. If people wanted more creative freedom to be showcased and just off the wall hit moments I guess I can understand that a bit, however I think it would ruin the tone the original scene was going for. Honestly if we traded that moments animation quality for something like the later fight we get in the Villain Hurt arc I'd call it a fair trade as that fight has why more dynamic moments. I'll also say the I agree the direction was off in a lot of aspects of S4 and S5 I think it's stabilized in S6 so far. Between episode heads and the main director we've hit kind of a middle ground where some episodes are done better then others like the Dabi reveal be very well directed.
Not a downfall these are forced hate the same forced hate that black clover fans did. I don't remember the time where black clover anime villains made sense except for the elf arc remaining villains are bunch generic evil guys
And its crazy how that shigaraki frame of him attacking aizawa is literally just the wrong frame if you pause it with your hand out it looks just like the manga they just be picking which frames to pick im assuming they wanted that to he a shot with shigarakis hand out just zooming in like some 12 yr old animation transition
A theory of mine why MHA is dropping of isn't even because MHA is bad. It's because super hero movies are themselves dropping off. Hence why chainsaw man, mob and other anime flourish coz now darker themes are viewed as interesting, different and new. Just a realization I had coz I'm a MHA fan and also a Marvel fan and I can see the similarities in drop of rate.
nah as an anime only all my life, watching this video makes it feel like i'm having a hell ton of shit coming together after up to 3 years of feeling all like confused since the releases of seasons 5 and 6
