i stopped reading threads and discourse on this series ages ago as it entered the endgame, but this chapter made me remember how good horikoshi can be at this

Horikoshi is a really good artist but that's also why he's falling to pieces after 7+ years of serialization. A conundrum.

The highlights and set pieces that were planned out are good, but the connective tissue that should weave them together is not well planned and suffers greatly as a result.

It'll turn out that All Might was lying about being quirkless, and the "becoming a big swole guy" thing was actually his quirk, and Deku will get it after he dies, allowing him to become big and swole as well.

MHA and Black Clover feel like the last guard of this kind of series, and even those are gonna end up only about half as long as Naruto or Bleach. One Piece is eternal

Runa posted:Yeah writer-artist mangaka duos exist Yep, and many of them produce quite good work. But they still produce different work from the same people working solo. If Horikoshi started the series as a collaboration, that'd be one thing. But this late in, it'd be something quite different.

A lot of big name series generally also have art assistants that are trained by the main author to be able to fill in for background stuff and touch-ups in their style, to lessen the strain on them, from what I understand. The one exception to this that I'm aware of is Eiichiro Oda, who does everything himself.

Oda has assistants, he just doesn't rely on them and does everything "that moves" in a panel himself

Apparently, Choujin X is a Sui Isida solo project, for current manga. That's part of why it's so irregular. He does the whole thing by himself, and it comes out when it's ready. Oda does have assistants, from what I understand. He just insists on doing all the characters and effects himself. So, he does a ton of stuff himself, but he still spreads out the workload a bit to keep from breaking his back or needing more breaks.

Find me a person alive who would say Dr. Stone or Shokugeki no Soma were just products their artists were putting their name on Like if nothing else Hori needs a biweekly schedule and a proper loving editor at least

This chapter is actually good, and it is because it is fleshing out a long established narrative point. I was worried that All Might somehow acquired the same drug as All for One, but I like the approach to keep him quirkless.

I'm extremely glad All Might didn't get rewound back to his prime offscreen and I hope that stays consistent. It really does continue to serve to highlight the main difference between his and AFO's roles as mentors to their respective students. Ironically, the result of how things have panned out has caused me to find All Might more compelling of a character than Deku himself, while I wish AFO would gently caress off and let Shigaraki actually have some time to grow.

It really does continue to serve to highlight the main difference between his and AFO's roles as mentors to their respective students. All Might has literally always been a more compelling character than Deku, because Deku fundamentally has absolutely no substance beyond "very nice boy who is suicidally self-sacrificing and loves heroes and heroics". I don't hate Deku or anything but he's a very bland main character and has had almost no room for any meaningful growth in the manga's entire run time besides a constant flip-flopping arc of "maybe i shouldn't try to do everything myself and blow myself up to be heroic, except for the all the times where i have to and i do it anyway and everything turns out well".

AFO is gonna break All Might's power armor and AFO is gonna gloat over him until All Might reveals Eri not only learned to control her quirk but can now use it at range. Queue All Might rewinding to his prime.

Nah, Stain will show up to do some last minute hero poo poo and fight along side all might and then the fight resolves off screen and we'll cut back to AFO chumping more heroes and bragging about how there's only five more minutes until namek explodes

funny how much better this manga works when the big moments line up with actual character arcs and aren't just about the b-team getting their poo poo in during this interminable battle royal. Iida and Todoroki's moment here is genuinely good, even if the setup to get Dabi here was abject nonsense. In a different series I might think the rest of this was building towards some kind of "support gear is finally nearing the level of people with actual quirks, and now anyone CAN be a hero" point, but I gotta figure that's not the case here. Feel like wherever it does end up going will be very telling for what the ending is shooting for thematically (personally I assume on a plot level All Might puts up a good fight but gets pasted, Stain shows up to save his life briefly right when AFO is about to take him out, then Bakugo shows up to actually defeat toddler AFO, finally redeeming himself for causing All Might's defeat way back when, while Deku wraps the series up). Are we finally down to Dabi/Toga/AFO/Shigaraki as the last remaining issues on the table?

There's still the battle with the assassin and Aoyama/fatgum/etc that I wholly expect to be off paneled at this point. Sero was supposed to get a big cool hero moment too as per Hori like two years ago but I dunno if we'll get to that.

Kurogiri also teleported away with Eraserhead and Presant Mic, so that plotline is still up in the air. I'm also expecting them to give Momo one last moment where one of her plans actually gets to succeed without countless casualties.

Just want to say, I started watching the anime again after dropping at the end of season 1. I use to think this show was massively overrated, I still think season 1 was weak. Bakugo was ultra annoying and Deku was not only weak but a deteriment most of the time but this series gets quite good after. Not sure how the later arcs are but currently at Shie Hassikai and its been consistently good after season 1.

The pacing of Season 1 was dreadful. I remember binging it, shouting "It's called My Hero Academia, and we're 4 episodes in and he's still not in the drat academy!"
