Out of curiosity, because I'm a ninny nitpicker, how many people here think that the quali...

yes sadly and same with the anime but my interests change rapidly so i’m not surprised lol but good for anyone who still loves the anime and manga :)

I’ll have to agree with you. Where the anime is right now - the Eri rescue arc - it’s the best arc in my opinion but I’m just not that hyped up for it because of how the quality of the story has dropped in the manga now.

Glad I'm not the only one. The show still seems to still get a lot of praise, but I was left disappointed.Likewise I think the Eri arc was the best one, but it really didn't hold the gravity that the manga had. The newest chapters have left me kind of cold too :/

I don't understand how the quality dropped and I just binjed it from the part where mirio faught overhaul

I don't understand how the quality dropped and I just binjed it from the part where mirio faught overhaul and just caught up today

Just my opinion but I feel like the author is adding plot points that just dont make sense. Like Aizawa having this high school friend that’s randomly Kirogiri (spelling) and the whole thing with Natsu getting kidnapped seemed random and only lasted 2 chapters. The whole league of villains arc seemed pointless too. All of these points will probably make sense in the future as the manga progresses but right now I just don’t see how all of these fit into Midoriya wielding One For All. I hope I end up with egg on my face as all of these tie together but these are just examples of how I feel the story is not as good as it used to be but we still have a long way to go.

You and me both.

Mmm a couple of things, though these are opinions. Some things that I really like about My hero was the structured power ceiling and the love and attention the characters got. 'Side' characters never felt like side characters, because they all had their place to grow. Ever since the cultural festival, I feel like a lot of class 1 has been reduced to one liners and the author is more focused on the popular characters.

The author's initial idea of keeping Izuku quirkless was incredible, but I like how he had to learn and grow with a quirk that equalize him as superman. Now it looks like he has 7 and potentially his own, and I think it took away some of the charm of a quirk being personal.

As well, the motives from Shigeraki seem very stale and the power up for all the villains in the same arc felt a little DBZ, which My Hero stood as independent from typical shonen pitfalls. I initially liked the strategies and intelligence used with quirks, but now the quirks are the equivalent of who can wipe out cities the fastest.

I was initially impressed with Hori's commentary of the Shounen genre and the dichotomy of a superhero society, but I feel like the guy hasn't pulled anything quite as gripping.

But that's just my take. if there are people still enjoying the story, then I'm happy for them, but I feel like I've lost something that was close to me.

This was very well said, you definitely explained it a lot better than I did. I agree about the main and side characters, it feels as though Hori is adding in all these someone unimportant plot points that he’s forgetting about class 1A and the main story point: Midoriya learning to make One for All his own. Now Im not saying the entire manga and anime has to be about Midoriya, but other plot points should tie into One for All and Midoriya somehow. I feel as if the author has created something so amazing that they’re cracking under pressure to deliver that same amazing story. Don’t get me wrong I will read this manga and watch the anime until it’s finished and enjoy every bit of it I just don’t feel like it has that same spark as when I first started reading. Like you said; lost something that was close.

I definitely like that I'm not feeling alone, and yeah I agree with the author maybe reaching a high point too fast. Happens a lot in shounen.
I'll join you on the My Hero boat, and we'll see where it'll take us.

If you haven't already, I really recommend Hunterxhunter. One of the few shounen genres where each arc is fresh and the characters are given a lot of time to grow as humans.

I started the serie last month and I need to say its actually gets better and better. Obviously interest can change or it goes into a direction which one is not found of. But as someone who just read it from start to end I can not say that the story is dropping.

But as someone who reads often ongiong long mangas, sometimes a story seems less amazing because of the breaks in between. at least that happens often to me. so i need to read it from the beginning to end to actually give a serious feedback of a manga otherwise. the break affects my overall understanding/opinion of the serie. But again that probably doesnt apply to everyone, but its an observation i did on myself ^^

hope you guys still have a nice day and a good start into the new year/decade ^^

You’re definitely right that reading it from start to finish is usually the way to go. I felt the same with Demon Slayer. A few people are saying that that story dropped too but I read the whole thing in about a week up to where it is now and I think it’s just as good, if not better than when it started. I’m glad to read that you’ve still enjoyed this manga and thank you for offering your insight and opinions. I love when people can have a civil conversation with opposing views and not have it turn into a blood bath.

There is totally no reason to spread hate over different preferences in series/book ect ^^ But unfortunate lots of people have nothing better to do than doing this :/ But yeah it should be possible to talk about different opinion even unpopular opinions (i personally like the eng dub of yuri on ice 1000x more than the japanese one xD).

and btw i also like the manga demon slayer till now :3 I didnt even knew that people were unsatisfied. I personally just prefered the anime till now but i dont think the story dropped in any way ^^

I like the english dub of Yuri on Ice too!! Haha and a lot of people are getting mad about all the character deaths in Demon Slayer. But even though it makes me sad, I like that there’s no plot armor and it grips my attention that no one is safe. This got off topic but that’s okay haha

Glad to have your opinion on board! And that's definitely true that people's attention for shows doesn't seem to stretch for too long if there's breaks. I remove my passion for Naruto and how it dropped while I was waiting for all those fillers.

And same to you! Have a great New Year!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. I was feeling like it probably was me who had switched interests but nop, I actually still want to know how the things move on but i find this manga inserting always new and useless (I hope they'll be actually useful in the end) stories and characters.
Probably it's because after i read Demon Slayer manga which has a much faster pace now I'm expecting to see the things go forward with at least half of the speed as DS but I really dunno. The only thing I know for sure is that it's getting harder and harder to keep up with this manga. I'm making sure I don't miss any chapter as soon as it's out cause i don't think I'd catch back up if i let them add up. It's kinda frustrating. I hope the author notices and speeds things a bit cause I don't want to lose interest in one of my fave mangas..

With Demon Slayer even when it was slow moving (like with the rehabilitation arc after they fought in the forrest) there were still important plot points. The conversation Tanjirou and Shinobu have on the roof is actually very important. I’m guessing you read the DS manga so you know how that conversation will come into play later on. I’m hoping the same thing goes for My Hero, that these somewhat un important points become important in the future. Demon Slayer is not that long but I’m glad it’s short because the author came in, did what they needed to do, and now they’re wrapping up. No filler, no unnecessary plot. I think that’s what you mean by fast moving?

I think the author is trying to push some progress currently, hence why it's not as exciting right now. Usually, with a good author anyway, this'll pass once the progress is done with. Then you usually get a really exciting new arc.
But I'm just guessing based on my experience from other authors, so I can't say that it'll be exactly that here as well.
For now I'll wait since this seems all like a 'progress arc' to me, which is always necessary at some point.

Just like other long shounen manga, some arcs are good, some arcs are not. There's always been parts of this manga that weren't too engaging (specially the parts where there's not a lot of action) and there's parts that are really interesting. When shit gets boring I just let chapters stack up and then read them all. I don't jump ship though because I know there's going to be arcs in the future that are really good.

I think the arcs are of similar quality but because they aren't improving in any notable way and so much of the plot feels recycled that we feel the quality has gone down. That's what I think at least
