I'm actually one of those people that would say MHA is shitty, and it's because I was heavily invested in it years ago, looking for something to replace the void left by Naruto ending, Bleach ending, HxH going on haitus...etc I wanted another amazing long shounen manga to love for years to come but I became more and more dissapointed in MHA as the arcs went on, so I dropped it. However it's been years and I keep hearing young people (new kids that did not grow up with Naruto airing on Toonami) praising MHA. And I'm just like, maybe this is what kids today like, difference of opinion cause I don't see the appeal.
BUT
this comment has got me thinking I should try it out again. I've got years worth of chapters to catch up on though and that is kinda daunting...
I talk like I'm old lol but I'm 25, idk if most of the people that like MHA are much younger but it seems like it???
Oml I'm so glad that this is encouraging you to read mha and I know there's a lot but it's 100% worth it
lol you have like just under a decade on me but I get what you mean.A lot of people that wax lyrical about it are like 13 and they kinda make the fandom shit and have only watched the anime not saying that they're all horrible but the manga readers are defo better (=・ω・=)
Really?? Lol It's good to know there are people around my age that find it a good read. Well I guess imma have to saddle in for the long binge session
I did grow up with naruto, well I'm a few years older so it's more like I remember when I first watched it on tv (dubbed), it is not like dbz or inuyasha or older animes that I can't even remember when exactly did I started watching it, I like it good enough, I remember the excitement, though it's been many years since I've considered myself a fan.
The thing about mha is that it feels fresh, I love the drawing style (personal preference), it can be adorable (Izuku) or plain creepy (Shigaraki).
Something I loved too is the pacing of the chapters/episodes, I feel like they don't waste time.
Also, I really like details, the thing about tsukasa's wings? The sentinent OFA? Those were planned. There are theories of OFA being parasitic in nature, an equivalent of AFO who is taking possesion of Shigaraki, we got a hint when Izuku first fought Shinso and he saw the vestiges (good thing those are supposed to be good).
But overall, it just makes me feel good watching it and reading it, Horikoshi wanted All Might to represent to his people "a symbol of peace" and to keep people smiling because "I am here" the thing is IT WORKED, even when speaking with friends and family something we can agree on is that when we saw all might appear we would automatically smile, that is an indicator that the author did a very good job.
For a while I did too the "things were better before", and in some things I agree, in others I just rather try to keep an open mind, and if I don't like it? Well I don't like how my parents and grandparents used to get dressed when they were young, things evolve all the time.
Sorry for the spiel this pandemic has me like this.
I appreciate the spiel dw lockdown is a bitch. I LOVE U ANONYMOUS READER CUZ LIKE I FELT THIS....sorry it's just MHA has so much to offer and so much that it has already given us soooo it's just nice to know that there's others out there supporting/appreciating it seriously aswell ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
Please for the love of god read the whole manga because sure the first few arcs are basic and not all that interesting but everything ends up weaving together so beautifully and especially these last few chapters have really been amazing and worth reading. It legit makes me so sad when people say MHA sucks and that it's shitty and boring when they havent even caught up with the manga because some of these panels are fucking heart wrenching cuz you can't help but feel for these characters man. The fandom may be kinda shitty but the actual content itself is beautiful for example I hated bakugou in the beginning but he's changed so much and come so far that now he's my favourite character. I just this manga is fucking amazing and it makes me wanna fight anyone that says bnha is shit cuz they just dont fucking know even half of the story yet. ╥﹏╥
