Good to hear, this already seems like a big step up from the previous season

Season 5 visually was still a pretty solid production it just hosed with how things were arranged and straight up removed a lot of the writing that establishes stuff I think is pretty important.

Fortunately it doesn’t seem like there’s going to be a movie this time around (yet at least) so hopefully things will proceed as normal

The new episode is up and frankly Mirko should have been the #1 hero over Endeavor. Takes Endeavor AND Hawks to take down one High End but Mirko ganks two of them inside a minute? Queen poo poo.

The doctor says that these high ends will be weaker than the one Endeavor and Hawks fought because they haven't had time to stabilize after being activated. It's still badass though.

Does CR have previous seasons for the dub? I'm dumping Hulu and switching to CR for my anime, just hoping to have any kind of dub access.

Yes, you can watch S1-5 dubbed on CR. They have their own little section.

Mirko is a very one note character - what you see is what you get, and if that's something you like you'll like her a lot, but if it isn't she gets grating fast

she seems to mostly be a walking cool action scene, did i miss something? people really don't like the generic "i don't care for my life so i can keep punching even when things look bad" stuff?


...am i thinking of the wrong character?

Flesnolk
Apr 11, 2012
Just that yeah, there isn't really anything to the character beyond that, so if that one trait annoys a viewer I can see them not liking her much. But she's definitely supposed to be a cool walking-action-scene sort of character

Flesnolk is being ridiculous. Don't worry about it, Mirko's good.

It seems like a trend that a lot of shonen battle are starting to have at least one woman character like Mirko. Who started it, I wonder. Mikasa? That feels right but who knows.

I just feel like I don't have any reason to care about this character that is suddenly front and center as a bad rear end. Getting so much of her so quickly has been off-putting.

Getting the best fight scenes a female character has gotten in this series is a good reason, OP

They both have the same quirk of “has all the abilities of a specific animal” after all so that’d actually be kind of cool

The real answer is that Horikoshi loved drawing her and would say this multiple times in his author comments.

This was my first intro to her and the immediate worry was that she was so badass, they were gonna job her to establish a threat. That they swerved from that was a pleasant surprise, so her outlook is a positive for me. Like her, wanna see more of her.

He said in the authors comments for one of those chapters that he had to force himself to cut away, otherwise he'd draw her for another 20 chapters.

Yeah, MHA is like a lot of shonen battle in that it's really bad when it comes to its women cast doing cool fights but it's also true Mirko doing cool fights is good.
