dogsicle posted:dunno if this came up already, but Stain taking down Ingenium always confused me. we see in the most recent ep that Ingenium was initially/partially motivated to hero out of a sense of obligation and tradition, but that was in a private conversation to his brother. outside of that i'm not really sure why Stain would have reason to make him a victim. are we just supposed to assume Stain infers this sort of thing somehow or that his adherence to absolutes make this a case where he made a mistake? Stain is a loving psycho. "Don't listen to the logic of a murderer" was a really good line.

Endeavor is a real piece of work and a terrible person; an abusive husband and father who shouldn't be held up as a role model. Stain is using his (justified?) hatred of dudes like Endeavor to murder totally normal people. He's no better than Shigaraki; he's just better at lying to himself about it. His expectation that heroes have to be like All Might is absurd. No one can be like All Might. The very first thing that happens in this story is we find out that All Might isn't All Might; as the story has gone on it's progressively stripped the layers of mythology from Toshinori Yagi, revealing the man underneath the impossible ideal. Stain is delusional. CharlestheHammer posted:I don't really think the native was hunting him, and Stain had to start somewhere, bore he was known. I disagree. I think the point is that it doesn't fit together, that villians "but they have a code" are just villians. It doesn't matter if Stain is right about the flaws of society or not; his response is dangerously wrong. I enjoy that MHA doesn't seem to truck with the idea that 'oh, it's your MOTIVATIONS that are the important part'; what you do is what you do. It's very fresh, especially compared to a lot of anime where any villian, no matter how awful his actions, can be redeemed if they just have a tragic enough backstory and some kind of 'pure' motivation.

I love that Bakugo and Kirishima really are friends. Bakugo is genuinely trying to help Kirishima here, even if he's being the usual rear end in a top hat about it.

Todoroki's also not the type to vote for himself, for the same reason he didn't choose a hero name. He just wants to be himself, not a 'hero' or even a 'class rep'(even if he's not sure what that is). It makes sense to me. Who else would he have voted for?

The idiot otherwise child-like pervert is a classic comedy relief character. The problems with Mineta are twofold: 1. His schemes go beyond 'high school idiot pranks' and into outside sexual harassment (groping, etc.) 2 The show seems rewards his antics by burying him (and the camera) waist-deep in titty. Which is kind of weird and off-putting, I'm a show that seems to take seriously the question of heroism, of good and bad behavior. The tone would be a little different if it was Lady Box Wine instead of Mr. Grape Juice, but the problems would remain. Like, uh, electricity dude trying to hit on chicks and being slapped around by Jiro is a similar kind of joke and infinitely better executed. The scene where they're in the locker room, Mineta tries to peep in, gets Jiro'ed worked more or less OK too. TLDR: Call the police on Mineta.

Moltrey posted:The locker scene with Mineta is probably the worst for me as Jiro is sad and embarrassed that she was the only girl Mineta wasn't trying to perv on, implying she would've felt better if she DID get creeped on, ending the scene with the notion that Perving On Women Is Good Because At Least It Makes Them Feel Attractive which hooooooly poo poo what. like it's the the intent probably but yeah that's probably been the worst for me

Radish posted:I feel like I'm in crazy town here but I hope we can at least admit that Creati sucks. As a hero name its awful. I like Yayozoru though. I think she's a very relatable character. She's a good kid having trouble living up to the expectations she & society have placed on herself. It leads her to freeze up and not assert herself, even when she's capable of doing well (as was a big part of the last episode). It makes her less fun than some of the more lighthearted characters, like Mina, but balance is important. Plus I like her anime spike hair. She's a good counterpoint to Iida, who covers somewhat similar emotional territory. Iida is best boy. He just tries. So. Hard.

This is probably more appropriate for the anime recommendation thread, but One Punch Man and Cowboy Bebop are as good of a place to start as any.

Cowboy Bebop is very different from most anime, fwiw. Beyond it's deliberate nods to Western/American culture (Cowboys, Jazz, Blues), it's a lot more deliberate and subdued in both tone and subject matter than a lot of popular anime.' It also doesn't have the 'problem' a lot of genre anime have that they expect their viewers to be familiar with aspects of their genre that the show will then play straight or subvert. EG, One Punch Man is a parody of the genre of superhero / battle anime that My Hero Academia is in. Both of these make it more accessible to Western audiences. That's part of what makes Bebop such a good 'first anime'. The other parts are it's great dub and the fact that it is just straight up fantastic. Please continue to post your thoughts; a new thread or the anime chat thread are both good choices.

This show is amazing and I don't agree with the ADRTW grousing about it being a 'normie' show. In a year less jam-packed with instant classics than 2017 I think it could have won AOTY easy. I think it ended up being underrepresented in ADRTW's AOTY because 1. we tend to put an emphasis on shows that mean the most to us personally 2. ADRTW's audience is older, gayer, and leftier than most Western anime fans. E.G, It was narrowly chased off my top 5 by Demi-Chan, which is a much more uneven show that means more to me on a personal level. MHA also has probably the best overall character design of any anime I've ever seen. The mangaka has a talent. TLDR: Show is great, I can't wait for season 3.

Shere posted:I don't think anyone here would put someone down for saying MHA is their favorite series, but it's probably not going to win any 'AOTY' awards, for as little as they matter. Could you elaborate? I'm not sure what you mean by self-indulgent as a criticism. MHA seems way less self-indulgent than a lot of comparable series. The plot and characters don't line up to slobber all over Deku's knob, and a wide variety of characters are portrayed as real, fallible people with strengths and weaknesses who need to grow and change and work together. It's not just 'waiting for goku'. Plus, perennial ADRTW favorites Symphogear and Gurren Lagann are insanely self-indulgent and that's a huge part of why I like them.

Shere posted:Shounen is basically reader wish-fulfillment. It's targeted at young boys so it can't ever get too dark, or too complicated. It's serialized in a weekly publication so it has to play to an audience. Ok, I see what you're getting at. I guess it depends on what you want from your art. I tend to judge anime more like music than literature, if that makes sense. My favorite albums are the ones that make me feel strong emotion or I just find 'cool', and that doesn't necessarily line up with the ones that have the most well-considered or original artistic message. 'Best' can mean a different things to different people. Thanks for taking the time to respond!
