Can't wait to see it animated in a few years.

I only just caught up with this series but out of curiosity, why is the anime divided into individual seasons as opposed to just being one big continuous series?

Ah, makes sense then. I just watched the first three seasons and then started the manga from there so I'm not sure how good an adaption it is but the MHA anime seems fairly decent in most respects as far as I'm concerned.

Out of curiosity, was there anything from the manga that wasn’t in the anime? I only started reading it from the point where Season 3 left off.

I hope the kids have an actual thing to do next since it's been a really long time since we've seen them in real action

I forget, how long has it been now since we last saw Midoriya and the others in this manga?

Yeah, Bleach/Naruto/One Piece being referred to as the big three mostly felt like an insult to One Piece from what I've heard about Bleach.

From what I remember, Bleach peaked early on and just kind of got progressively worse from there (the anime ended before the manga did and I still think it went on too long). The live action movie was alright though.

Naruto had every opportunity to kill off Itachi and just made him stand up completely unscathed every time for absolutely no reason. It was a problem entirely of the writer's own creation.

You mean Madara, Itachi was Sasuke’s brother and basically the only good Uchiha aside from maybe Sarada from the current series.

Fair, the sequel series Boruto has been alright so far though (as far as the anime goes at least) but I agree the original did go off the rails after a while. It never turned into quite as much of a train wreck as Bleach did at least.

The Boruto anime is actually genuinely good, don’t bother with the manga though.

Horikoshi has said that Midoriya's father will show up at some point in the story which, good god, it better not be AFO somehow. I'm highly doubting it, but it would be the most cape comic thing ever.

I forget, has it been said in the manga (or the anime for that matter) where Deku’s dad is at the moment?

Ah yes, also apparently Midoriya’s dad can breathe fire and his mom is a living magnet (I don’t remember if we’ve ever actually seen her use her quirk though).

Rhonne posted:

There's a few times when you see her using it to grab stuff in the kitchen.

Whenever people bring up Deku's dad, I think back to the Muscular fight when Deku thought he was going to die and he was apologizing to his mom and All Might. Even when he thinks he's about to die, his dad doesn't even cross his mind.

Yeah, Deku never really brings up his father that much (if at all for that matter) which sort of makes me wonder what kind of relationship the two have with one another.

So I finally caught up with Vigilantes and was curious about something, is this supposed to be a prequel to MHA or just a side story taking place in the same universe?

Also they really need to make an anime out of this series one day.

Anyone know where the new movie is in the plotline? I know Hawks is in but that’s it. Some friends want to go but they’re not even through the new season so I wanted to see if there’d be any big spoilers in it

Speaking of which, as I only just got around to watching it recently where does the first MHA movie take place on the series timeline?

Larryb

I am completely convinced My Villain Academia will be getting its own special OP and ED in the anime (maybe they could even change the logo as well).

Speaking of which, do we have any idea how far into the manga Season 4 is going to go?

I forget, is his mom’s Quirk just limited to small objects? Because otherwise I could possibly see telekinesis being somewhat useful at least.

Somewhat off the subject but in cases like Toga, I’ve always wondered how the person found out they had a quirk in the first place when it requires other people in order to work.

It is funny that having no quirk is seen as a big deal when the people of this universe have access to crazy technology that honestly surpasses a lot of quirks.
A quirkless person who learns to use a fancy Aizawa battle-scarf is still more powerful than a person with a lame or even mid-level quirk.

Hell, one of the main characters in Vigilantes is technically quirkless but he trained his body so much that it doesn’t really matter much as far as his combat ability is concerned.

Would OFA work on the roboarm though?

Honestly they could give him a disposable device right now for 100% slug fests. Some sort of cover device that goes over the arm and dampens the impact against his own arm while transferring the power to the target. Just each punch destroys the device so you can still have some tension of "CAN I FINISH THIS BEFORE NEEDING TO EXPLODE MYSELF AGAIN?"

Not sure how canon it’s supposed to be but didn’t he basically get something like that in the first movie?

Do Record of Lodoss War and Slayers still hold up?

Never saw the first one, is it any good?

Slayers absolutely holds up though and if you’re in the US then all five seasons are legally available both subbed and dubbed on Funimation’s YouTube channel.

Also they’re apparently going to announce something for its 30th anniversary next month so it’s possible we might be getting a new anime for that eventually as well.

Aliens definitely exists in the MHA universe because otherwise Ashido Mina wouldn't have tried to name herself Alien Queen.

Speaking of which, has it ever been mentioned whether Mina is actually an alien or does she just look like that because of her Quirk?

I am 90% positive they're going to end up with Stephanie Young for Mirko's English voice.

I forget, Mirko hasn’t shown up in the anime yet has she (I can remember if she appeared early on or not)?

Also in regards to the movie, did they ever explain how OfA suddenly went back to Deku at the end? I understand the real reason of course but I can’t remember if they bothered to make an in-canon explanation

With only two episodes left, I really wonder where exactly this season is going to end. Next week is the new top ten reveal, maybe that episode ending with the beginning of the High End fight, then the rest of the fight done on the last episode with the aftermath saved for next season? :shrug:

While the intentions might have started off good Hagakure is starting to show her weakness. I can't even remember if she helped out in the last act of the movie or if she is even part of this raid.

Yeah, this critical mistake means we're never going to see her helping anymore.

Unless she gets shrunk and works on Antman logic afterward.

Can’t she already switch between human and giant sized at will? I remember her doing that a few times in the anime at least, though I don’t imagine she could really do a whole lot of good in either form of course since as mentioned her Quirk isn’t exactly that suitable for city life.

That was a good one. It feels like we’re heading towards a conclusion soon, has there been any official word on how many chapters are left in Vigilantes now?

If it’s ending soon at all that is, I thought I’d heard something to that effect but I’m not completely sure.

Considering how action heavy this current arc is I imagine it’ll probably flow a lot better in the anime than it currently does in the manga. Still good though.
