My Hero Academia Anime |OT| Go Beyond! PLUS ULTRA! (No Manga spoilers!)

Amen.

The author is a comics nerd, for what it's worth. Deku's "weakling hero is gifted super strength" is like Captain America's backstory, Iida's "family of speedsters spanning generations" is sort of like the Flash.

The manga even has English sfx alongside the Japanese sfx; Horikoshi's fluent in English.

Which is why this series is so good.

MHA feels like a celebration of both western comics and Manga.
 
Um yeah All Might is far more of a Superman character than Goku.

His main goal is inspiring people and saving lives. He knows why he has to be the symbol of peace above all costs. He puts other above himself.

Goku's main goal is to have a good fight.

Goku is Goku, and by that i don't mean the Dragonball Z Goku. Most shonen heroes are based on the Journey to the West Goku (Luffy being another one). A character that goes their own way, wild, untameable, strong, big appetite, so on.

All Might is definitely more Superman, golden age Superman really.
 
You guys just reminded me of that dark Journey to the West Manga, something Monkey King? Too bad it's hyper expensive now due to being out of print.

The one by Katsuya Terada? The Monkey King.

Season 2 celebration!

Latest dub episode gave us Shigaraki's voice. It sounds like they're going for a Heath Ledger Joker for his performance. It fits so damn well.
 
Oh it's from a magazine, well okay thanks Bass.

Hmm, i wonder if this is
Eraserhead
in the background.
 
Oh wow so the anime already started. I only read up to where they first get costumes I think. Did the anime pass that yet?

Here's a 13 minute preview of the OST.

God, this OST is amazing. I need it so badly to help me write...

But there's a ton of these I've never heard before. I guess we'll hear them in season 2?

Holy shit, best OST since Naruto Shippuden OST 1. Too bad the samples are so short.

Can't wait to hear the full OST.

I also love the cover.

No it's not. It's a new character entirely. Can't wait to see him in action.

It's a new character from an arc I'm really hyped to see animated.

Also I hope they do a better job with the backgrounds in season 2.

Ah ok, then it's probably a new villain.
 
Just finished season 1 on Funimation. Have to say, it was incredible especially the music. So, so hyped for the next season.
 
oh wow I caught up on this today thinking the season was over, imagine my surprise when the credits rolled and there turned out to be one ep left. don't know how they're gonna top this past one since that last fight was amazing but can't wait!

it's just going to be resolution and a tease for the next season
 
Man, All Might was freaking incredible.

Does the manga ever delve into his past, back when he was in his prime and when he got his debilitating injury?

I'm curious to see All Might Prime. Would have to be Saitama levels of beastly.
