    Let's leave all comments about subs or dubs here so the rest of the comment section doesn't get toxic.
    I thought both Sub and Dub were good, which is getting rarer nowadays which is why I wanted to showcase the dub.

    honestly when Uraraka fought Bakugou, I started out "We know where this is going", then goes to " No, don't tell me" when she figured out a strategy, and teared up when Bakugou just rips all of that work as simply as that. It was an emotional roller coaster
    it didn't say Bakugou is that more powerful than Uraraka, it tells a story of how Bakugou never underestimate his opponents and how people with even the simpler quirks can win against really strong ones if their opponent let their guard down even abit. Ngl, it was the first time I realized : it's not the ending that matters, it's the journey. Because those end up telling more about the story

      It makes sense here, they are meant to show off their abilities while competing with each other, the only reason they can go so far with the fights is because they have an amazing nurse in the school, but even then, if they go too far, like in Deku vs Todoroki, they will stop them

Todoroki show them the business. Katuski can teach them the drive. To success they will all need heart, drive and understanding of the hero business.

The scene was made to fit the sound track, as you can actually hear the entire track from start to finish with no cuts. This is most notable during the fight of all might vs noumu and midoriya vs todoroki. Even after that fact, the whole thing just as impressive.

    For the people saying that the fights in this Tournament Arc are too short, I would point you to pretty much every other fight before them. Looking at the hype fight between All Might and Nomu, if you break it down to the actual fighting then that is roughly 5 minutes at a stretch. This series just doesn't have very long fights, it's not like Dragonball Z or Naruto was with long drawn out battles and tons of dialogue; My Hero Academia quite obviously has more of a style that leans towards the short and explosive/entertaining battles. When you look at the format at the tournament (the rules of the 1v1) and the source of power for the different characters (their Quirks), plus the fights that have come before them, it really shouldn't be surprising you that they would be short bursts of action.

      It’s not that they are so short but there is no build up to most of them: they are just hastily slapped back to back. Also there is a a lot of bulshit like how Deku got saved by an asspull, the attacks have no power to them. Deku hit Todoroki with a “smash” and he somehow survived? Or how doesn’t anybody get burnt by Bakugo’s flames. Do characters have super human armor or recover faster? Some of the drama bits were well done though, Todoroki and Uraraka in particular.

      @@rlamas4783 Repetitive tournaments can work if done well. Hell, New Japan Pro Wrestling (technically not anime but still) does annual tournament arcs with the G1 Climax, and they never feel redundant or boring because even if a lot of the same characters come back, 1) They're not the same people they were last time because they've changed and evolved (and, in the case of longtime veterans, even possibly degraded) over the past year and 2) Certain matchups that didn't happen in a previous tournament can happen in a new one, so there's still the possibility for fresh action.

If the viewer doesn't care about a tournament arc's fights, that's the fault of the writer for not making the characters engaging enough for the audience to get invested in, not the fault of the tournament itself.

      Sunneyu I think its not so much that he was giving her a chance, but more like he really saw her as a serious opponent. He is the only one there who didn't underestimate her because he learned from seeing Deku that he can't take anyone for granted, and I just loved loooved looooved this subtle showcase of character development from him. It shows how well thought this arc was because even tho the main focus there was Uraraka, both of the characters grew and shined through without taking away the spotlight from each other 🙏

      Going into it I was scared as hell to see best girl uraraka going in against the most ferocious fighter in the show, but during the fight I realized that there was no reason to worry because Uraraka is not there just to be a love interest and has her own strengths and motivations. It’s one of my favorite fights ever, because the characterization that goes into it is insane. We gain respect for both parties and a deeper understanding of a formerly somewhat superficial character. Hands down one of my favorite fights of the year (though it doesn’t come close to Deku vs Todoroki)

Naruto later had Iruka supporting him but for Gaara the person who took care of him and really cared for him, his Uncle , was forced to kill him by his own father. Basically both Jinchurikiis had a sad life while its true that Lee also had a tough life but that was not that tough compared to Gaara and Naruto.

    My hero academia is the best generic shonen anime there is atm. Everything is basic and pretty simple. Characters motivations and goals, main theme, quirks and so on is stuff we've all seen times and times again. I love that the main character is the most generic naive do-gooder of them all with literally the most generic power there is (raw physical strength). Yet because of the simplicity of it all and the way different points of view and ideas clash organically it feels so damn relatable. You cannot possibly watch this anime and feel unsatisfied at the end of every episode even if you know full well from the start (saving some minor plot twists) what is going to happen.

I am honestly in love with the buildup music. the fast guitar arpeggio superimposing over the rhymic staccato really draws me in. it's extremely well made and i have the quirk of judging animes by their OP (if the song is boring so will be the anime because it's the same editor looking over both most of the time) so this just adds on my fondness for this anime.

      Manga is actually way worse than anime - in anime if you got loads of conversations you hear them. But in this manga it covers 70% of the screen there really is barely anything left for the images. Might as well read book. And I mean this solely in context of Hero Academia not anima/manga in general

      KInda, except for the fact the plot of Tournament Arcs is the Tournament itself. After a certain point Steel Ball Run kinds stops focusing on the Race, and on the actual goal of the Race(which is a secret plot of the POTUS' to find Jesus). Basically, the race becomes less important for the actual plot.

      knowing about anime doesn't mean you can make a good one. That's why people dreaming to be writers/comic artists often decide to become editors: they are good at recognising good works, but can't make them. On the contrary, a pro writer or mangaka is most likely able to be a good editor as well.

      @spindash64 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Even though I suppose I'm not far enough into the full story to say for sure (since the anime is far behind the manga, as it should be), it seems to be a Deconstruction-Reconstruction of the idea of Superheroes, similar to the incredibles in that regard, now that I think about it:
      "And if everyone is super... no one is"
      So Acedamia tries to put that theory to the test, in a sense. And while it points out the flaws in the system, in the end, it also brings us back to the original idea of a hero.

      Stain is a completely terrible person, but his ideology, though twisted, was proven to work, because the areas he had hit actually had a drop in the crime rate in them, so he has evidence that his way works.
      It's in this way that whether a simple character or not, he escapes the idea of a typical villain.

      Bleach sucked past the first arc. It didn't know where it was going, vampire arc was horrible, I agreed with the vampires more than I did the good guys, vampires weren't fleshed out enough, saving orohime arc was okay because it was one fight after the other, like a tournament, but character had no development past their one fight and would never be seen again so who cares.
      I gave up when the princess filler arc started, because I realized the show was wasting a tonne of time and kept you hooked by giving you a glimpse of an interesting character(ichigo's dad) and then ignoring them until way later.

Guess the Fake Karakura arc is the closest we got to a tournament arc with a battle royale type setting.

    Wow, I'm positively surprised and pleased. Boku No Hero Academia's dub doesn't sound bad at all. Maybe I should try watching it.
    With animes I usually prefer the original Japanese versions because in them the makers (most of the time) really invest in the voice acting and it's (usually) high-quality and tolerable. In dubs I've noticed it isn't so nearly as often. But I appreciate a good dub and I don't dismiss a dub just because it's a dub. If an anime has poor voice acting but the dub of it doesn't obviously I watch the dub because they did better work with it. So if people here insult My Hero Academia's dub just because it's a dub they should stop and listen. Deku's voice actor is good and so are the other characters' and I can really respect that. Can you?

      You've hardwired your mind to be as obstinate as possible. It's too much brainpower for you to change your mind.

      Actually i cannot stand this dub for the sole reason that everytime Deku opens his mouth, I see an angel flying through the skies shooting giant floaty eyeballs while getting dissed by every other character ever

    I like the way he narrated this video He did this soooooo well!!! He sounds like an anime protagonist giving a speech about friendship right before they win a battle with the dramatic music in the background and everything.
