I do find it funny how Torino used to be so beefy and tall, but is now a little shrimp of an elderly man.

That VA that you like
Clearly should be Troy baker, Nolan North and HUB
Obviously
I mean, if anyone has ever heard of the three musketeers they should be expecting a quirk called all for one to exist haha

Do anyone like Mineta?

You mean like him in the sense that they root for him and think he's a worthwhile person?
No.
I do like the way he consistently gets his ass kicked and gets nothing he wanted.
Not really.

So, he is nothing more than the worn out comical pervert trope.

Ehhh
Usually, the gag in the comic pervert is that they succeed, and the girl gets embarrassed, and that's... funny for some reason? And then there's slapstick.
Mineta is just an engine to produce slapstick. His perversion is the joke, and the joke is on him.

Because a perverted loser staring at a woman's ass is automatically funny, right?

No, but a perverted loser trying to act like a perverted loser, failing, and getting the crap kicked out of him for his trouble is moderately amusing.
I'm comparing/contrasting with the kind of shit you got in early Dragon Ball, etc.

I'm not a "fan" of his but he definitely has his moments.
Funny thing is he was one of the most popular characters when he first started appearing but that went down as time went on.

I think that they are so out and out with it instead of the "hehe this kid is actually a perv" kinda does make it a little endearing. He's certainly not a good person, but that's the whole point of his character. That he's super gross and weirds the class out when he's being perverted and gets the crap beat out of him constantly for being a creep.

I like Mineta because he is the only one with balls to rib Boku no explosion.
What do you mean no one likes him explosion besides Hardbody

I think part of the thing is that while the series has made some effort to flesh out his character, it also very easily fades into the background again afterwards due to his lack of involvement in subsequent arcs, compared to the likes of Todoroki, Yaoyorozu, Iida, and now Kirishima. So he's kinda stuck in limbo where you can either still see him primarily as a character for creepy joke fodder, or as the guy with the cheapest motivations of all and frustrated by the reality of the system - especially since the anime is still at the stage where he's mostly the former.
If the series hadn't decided to go the route of using Iida to showcase how absurdly high onto dangerous Stain's standards for heroes are (however oddly valid his point), and Iida's need to better understand the primary focus of the job, Mineta would have probably been the perfect target for the likes of Stain, really.

Do none of you know what ribbing is? You don't rib someone from behind you go up to them and say "Hey Bakugo, sucks you failed that exam. I mean, i didn't but still that sucks bud" That one moment endeared me so much to ball dude because fuck Bakugo

Sorry, I just started watching this series.
Kirishima makes fun of Bakugou a lot, like when Jeanist change bakugo's hair, but he would never make fun of a friend not passing.
Mineta's a bit of a coward and (probably) isn't into crazy, so I'm gonna with Toga on this one. She likely has no patience for someone like him anyways.

If Horikoshi is serious about the whole "this is a LONG running series" thing then I'm kinda most interested to see Mineta out of all of them as an actual like, pro-hero lol.

Hey now
My boy Bakugou has more friends besides Kirishima. Kaminari considers Bakugou to be a friend and I guess Sero is kinda there as a 4th wheel.Like I said nobody likes him besides HardbodyHey now
Mineta hokage believe.

Why is Gran Torino wearing Cutsman's outfit?
I figured why his gloves and boots are so big. They're to cushion his landings as he's jumping around.

It's disappointing that Tiger and Bunny didn't have a complete conclusion.
on one hand it's kind of cute, on the other hand, probably 2lewd and better that mt lady's hilarious personality take that power
I certainly feel like we dodged a bullet there
Protoypes of early Uraraka... that became Mt. Lady, All Might, and Wild Pussycats. Wild Pussycats looked more like magical girls early on lol.
I like that prototype costume because it's closer to comic books style of costume, which is probably my biggest gripe with the series.
Which one?
yeah like ochako is only moderately shy blushing girl and if she had a power like mt lady's i could see it really negatively affecting her psyche. as it is she's fairly well balanced
That most of the characters don't have traditional super hero costumes but more like weird outfits.
