If it's the SAO Abridged guys I trust them, but I can't see the Abridged treatment working very well in a series that doesn't take itself very seriously.

Related note, The Something Witty guys released a sneak peak of the Abridged version of MHA, you just...you know, you just need to cough up 25 dollars or something for it, it's a patreon early bird reward. I was utterly blown away by Sword Art Online Abridged, and just like My Hero, I'm going into this whole thing blind. Unlike SAO though, I hear MHA is really really really good.

You know what? I'm not big on anime but... gently caress it, I think i'm going to watch My Hero. English dubbed too, why not, I hope it's good.

i tend to be a bit biased towards subs if only because it's what i usually hear first so i just get used to it. i heard the japanese for MHA first and the english a while later and i actually think the dub is better.

Yeah, this dub is fantastic. If you're going in blind, I'd say you're not missing anything by skipping the sub and going straight for the dub. If the dub wasn't a few weeks behind the sub, I'd be watching it exclusively.

Apparently it's still a pretty vibrant scene. Last year, TFS had an abridging contest and the finalists were (almost) all pretty good and worth watching.

I bet money on a 2-cour third season. I did the math on the chapters we covered so far in season 2 and covering the same # of chapters ends on a pretty strong note.

i think that fight is good from a character perspective but imagine if the finale had been todoroki vs uraraka.

im glad the development we got tho. Still, even tho Todoroki visiting with his mom during with his mom rules, it's messed up he doesn't get to be in a slice of life scene with friends

i'd go with Tsu based purely on her power set

but then Todoroki has great drama, Iida is hilarious, Bakugo is an rear end in a top hat but has way more room for personal growth than Izuku...

I like that it's sort of lampshaded when Midoriya thinks that Todoroki is much more of A Main Character type than he is and probably should have been the one to get One For All.

They're also not afraid to put Yaoyorozu front and center in the OP and on the volume cover despite her only having a little mini-arc even in a fight where a much bigger arc is happening. It gets compared a lot to early Naruto for a reason, with everyone getting screentime and feeling fleshed out and it's maybe the one thing I hope the manga keeps with.

Oh, you know who'd be fun as the protagonist? Mina Ashido. Good design and it would be interesting to see how she struggles with such a dangerous power that contrasts with her generally bubbly sort of personality.

I've said it a million times and I will continue to say it: I would read/watch the hell out of a Mina-centric slice-of-life series. Heck, if you made it an anime you've already got the ED made :v:

Going in blind on the show proper, I went into SAO Abridged expecting 100% sex jokes like most abridged series, And what I got was a really strong and entertaining show where everything felt connected and I started rooting for every minor and major character because the writing was excellent. Also I played MMOs when I was a kid, that arrogant little poo poo Kirito reminds me of the most capable and anti-social WoW Rogue you've ever had in the guild.

Speaking of Dub of the North Star Episode 5 coming out this year? It's been awhile since i watched it.

Saw the comparisons from that video posted earlier. Normally I would watch something subbed just because I grew up watching Toonami and poo poo, and that stuff was kinda embarrassing. I realize it's been at least two decades since then, so I like how some dubbers are now allowed some liberties to make the script and show flow better, so you don't get really weird awkward sentences.

Do you want to know what we do to artists?
MHA does have a spin-off manga called Vigilantes, but it's about a group of new characters and it's set a few years before the main series. It's pretty good though, and I hope it gets an OVA or something someday. Knuckleduster rules.

Why just switch the main character when we can change everyone!

Mina's power is hard to write around because even just sorta-burning people with weak acid is kinda hosed up so it'd mostly be Mina skating around on it punching people or using it to make people fall down or something.

I also liked the Uraraka vs Bakugou fight. Uraraka was insanely outclassed and floating Bakugou wouldn't have really helped IMO. It ended as well as it probably could have because the alternative to her just running out of gas was Bakugou just beating her rotten the old fashioned way.

Yeah that's very much not what that emotion was. She realizes something is incredibly wrong and all she can think to do is stammer out a request. She doesn't even recognize who Shigaraki is due to being right near the entrance during USJ. She's more worried about Deku than anything, barely regarding Shigaraki when he walks right past her

Not that Ochako wouldnt throw down if she had to, but she just comes up to her crush crying with a creepy stranger's hand around his throat, Fighting is the last thing she's ready to do
