I dont like the suppoting characters
September 19, 2018 @ 3:04 pm
I usually lean more towards subs purely because dubs aren’t exactly famous for their quality, but anytime there’s a good dub that’s what I’ll watch. And by God, this is a good dub.

8/10 needs black side character. THEY GOT PINK PPL BUT NOT A BLACK PERSON!

All Might is the Donald Trump of Japan.

People keep forgetting to realise that this is, in some way, a parody of the superhero culture/genre. Instead of trying to base itself in reality, it fully embraces the world. The hero and villain names should give that away… ‘Hero Killer’… ‘Eraser Head’…

have you ever watched inuyashiki i think you would enjoy it
September 19, 2018 @ 3:10 pm
That arc prediction at 8:25
September 19, 2018 @ 3:12 pm
Guys is my hero academia
September 19, 2018 @ 3:15 pm
dubbed is still crap
September 19, 2018 @ 3:17 pm
I like having a lot of characters, it makes the world feel bigger and immersive (to me at least) you don’t have to give each and every character 90 minutes of screen time on their own
September 19, 2018 @ 3:19 pm
As far as how to gain your powers goes 2:19 you have to give points for originality.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:20 pm
I resonate with deku just like you do Tristan. The whole friendship situation was the same for me. He’s the most relatable and lovable main character I’ve ever seen for that reason! But that’s just because my situation is the same as his! Also I love your work, enthusiasm, vocabulary, clothing style, class, politeness, and positivity!! Have a great day!

One thing i hate IS THE CHOPPY ENGRISH i mean its good sometimes but at others it’s irreleavent it’s annoying when they say DETROIT-O SMOSH all the time
September 19, 2018 @ 3:21 pm
All mights’ condition is umm…. It’s getting handled
*I’m not crying you’re crying*

Man that was Great

This isn’t a recap, it’s a review or reaction
September 19, 2018 @ 3:26 pm
Thanks for no spoilers
September 19, 2018 @ 3:26 pm
OOOOOOO!!! Assassination Classroom is one of my absolute favorite anime!! Both recommendations were pretty solid.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:28 pm
the reason people dont like the dub is because it changed and in my opinion improved the relationship between bakugo and deku.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:29 pm
who the fuck thought that the name porno grafti or whatever was a good name
September 19, 2018 @ 3:29 pm
Ahh. 🙁 GR, I’ll be your friend. 🙂
September 19, 2018 @ 3:31 pm
Gaara + zuko = shoto toderoki
September 19, 2018 @ 3:31 pm
Im just suprised that this fan base hasnt turned into hell like undertale or rick and morty.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:32 pm
eating hair is ancient japanese superstition that will pass part of your escense to who ever eats it, ,and in the case of "love charms" said one will fall in love
September 19, 2018 @ 3:33 pm
Shut up loser
September 19, 2018 @ 3:34 pm
9:58 I WILL SHOW YOU THE POWER OF THE ARMSTRONG FAMLE
September 19, 2018 @ 3:37 pm
Please review fairy tail s1. I like it and a lot of people don’t so I want to hear your opinion on it. It’s on Netflix Sub and dub
September 19, 2018 @ 3:38 pm
im pretty sure all might will die
September 19, 2018 @ 3:39 pm
Honestly feel so bad that you don’t get as many views as you should. Your videos are based on the popularity of the anime you review so if you review a popular anime you get pretty good view counts, but with less known ones you can’t really get them. PS I think your editing is very good plus your script is great
September 19, 2018 @ 3:40 pm
death note is the only one that dubbed worked on it
September 19, 2018 @ 3:40 pm
Started this because of Zuko,stayed because of S2 tournament arrccccccc.

My hero is so overrated, the characters are either one dimensional, or just really cliche. Though I can agree that it got some good characters(bakugou). Deku is just really cliche, though likeable.
The story is really bad, it’s literally just, the bad guys vs the good guys. The society that they live in is so unrealistic, it’s supposed to be just like the real world but suddenly everybody got powers, but everything looks like it’s going fine. They should show us more about political problems, or I don’t know, just show us that quirks can make other problems too. Like maybe students are using their quirks cheat alot more is school, so they don’t get the same ediucation, so when they become adults they can’t handle big jobs. I don’t know, maybe childeren accidently kill their parents with their quirks. Just make this society more beliveble in some way. Though they try to show that the heros have become something like celebritys, and thats why the herokiller stein kills heros that he doesn’t think are worthy. That is very interesting, but it is only touched upon, so it needs more of that.
The animation isn’t even that impressiv, I have to agree that My hero got some really good animation(though mostly in the tournament arc) but overall, it’s not that good. It can look good when a lot of action is going on, like in the todoroki vs deku fight, that fight had the best animation in the whole show. It was really good, but the majority of the animation was pretty lame. Very cheap, no lighting effects, zero detail, and it just looked ugly. In almost all anime, they use stillframes when people are talking, and they just make the mouth move, I can’t say that I like that, but I guess it’s necessery because they don’t have enough money for it to move all the time. But the differece is that for example attack on titan has really detailed stillframes, and well it’s the standard now to have really detailed stillframes, BUT My hero has really ugly stillframes, and the simple animation that they use when no action is going on is really weak and simple.
Even the backgrounds are really cheap. I have seen Bones make these kinds of backgrounds before in their shows(Fullmetal alchemist: brotherhood), and the techniques that they use for making those kinds of backgrounds are really cheap. And because they are so cheap, they look really bad. They lack so much detail and they just scream LAZY.
So, I think that My hero academia is ok, I would rate it a 6-7/10. It got some problems, but I think I still like it, and the best part was the tournament arc. It’s simple, and it’s ok if you enjoy it. The problem is that I have seen SOOOO many people just praising this anime til no end, EVEN THOUGH it has SO many anime tropes that I can’t even count them, but for some reason everybody seems to just let it slide with this show!? And I don’t think it deservs THIS much spotlight. My hero academia is ok, nothing more nothing less. If season 3 makes these things better, then I will change my opinion, but right no, it’s just ok.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:42 pm
the first 13 episodes are nothing more than an appetizer.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:42 pm
That Steins Gate poster in the backround.??
September 19, 2018 @ 3:43 pm
I really don’t know why this anime is so popular,i watched the first season and these are my issues with it:
1- The MC is one of the whiniest characters i’ve ever seen in anime.
2- It’s a baby version of the One Punch Man plot.
3- There are so many characters, but the issue is that none of them are interesting in any way (except (Aizawa) the teacher who like sleeping a lot, he seems like someone who belongs to HxH)
September 19, 2018 @ 3:43 pm
Why do people always argue about subs and dubs? It’s super unnecessary
September 19, 2018 @ 3:43 pm
Imagine there was a one punch man and my hero academia crossover, and one punch man got all for one. No one would face him.
September 19, 2018 @ 3:44 pm
i think the sub best shows izuku’s winny side
September 19, 2018 @ 3:44 pm
and here i have read 158 chapters of the manga, it is only getting better <3
September 19, 2018 @ 3:47 pm
I don’t understand why Arkada won’t read manga. I mean, I kinda get it, but if you’re Invested in it enough you’d figure you’d want to buy it to see more if not just to support the creators?
September 19, 2018 @ 3:49 pm
My friends current dismisses all anime aside from JoJo’s bizzare adventure and I’m trying to get him to get into this show so we have sometime to talk about because I’m not really a fan of JoJo’s bizzare adventure (sorry). Any ideas to convince him?
September 19, 2018 @ 3:51 pm
Is arkada your real name?
September 19, 2018 @ 3:52 pm
I wanna tap Momo’s ass
