It's likely going to be above MHA due to what is going to get adapted for MHA for me.
I will have to get to jojo, but so far part 3 as just been okay. It's enjoyable enough but far from great..
sadly with re:zero it's likely that it is the only anime adaption it will have as due to it being 25 eps, and the pacing it seems likely they will cover all the currently released material, meaning at the very least it could be 3-5 years before we can even hope for another season.
of course I don't know how the rest of the series will go. it could jump the shark by episode 13 and be horrible by the end and no one would want a second season

No, I'm enjoying their other shows this season! MHA just isn't very good!
Couldn't disagree more!

i like MHA fine but I read the manga, which is also fine. It just has to air at the same time as Diamond is Unbreakable which makes it look way worse /notbiased

My Hero Academia is the worst show I've watched this season (year?).

My Hero Academia is pretty okay in my book.
It's not fantastic to be sure, but I find myself enjoying the over the top superhero shenanigans.

My Hero Academia is so good.
Speaking of worst anime of the season,
Can't wait for Hundred's 3rd episode tomorrow.
I have to catch up on Cerberus though... probably after Wednesday morning (my last final of the semester).
(Seriously though, you guys really need to rethink what "Garbage" and "horrible" mean. Jesus, sometimes the negative hyperbole in this thread makes me so very confused.)

I guess you are still disappointed Midoriya is not Batman.

Kumamiko I've dropped. These past two episodes have been a miss and I wasn't exactly interested in the show to begin with.

If I could turn Hundred into a powder and snort it, I would.
I could take all that ANIME in at once.

That aside the story just simply isn't interesting. I mean, that angle was literally the only thing which I though the premise had going for it. Otherwise it's just another "I wanna get stronger" hero's journey which everyone has seen before. There are superheroes everywhere now - in movies, on TV, in anime, etc. This does nothing new and there are far better things to watch.
If Hundred is anime in its purest form, then is Infinite Stratos the very soul of anime?
100% agree.
I assume you're basing this only on what's been shown in the anime which, for the most part, is just intro to our main characters and players so far.
So, what I'll say is this. Midoriya was never Batman. He was never meant to be Batman. Its 1 part inheritance story and 3 parts "the virtues of heroism" story (so far at least. The manga, even after 80+ chapters has been build up). Its basically the same ideas that One Punch Man looked at but though a different angle. A VERY different angle. Not to mention that hero fatigue really shouldn't be held against the anime itself, but rather a statement of the current worldwide fetishism of heroes, but that's beside the point.
It seems like you expected something different, which sucks because I think that if the OT for the anime wasn't about how Deku was SMART but rather something more in tune to how the show and the manga really are, I think you would feeling different.
Now you're on the trolley.
i haven't watched a lot so far but right now Flying Witch is really doing it for me.
tbh I kinda agree that MHA so far if you're not looking for a straight shonen superhero show isn't gonna do anything for you (hell, if you're looking for anything beyond that it might never do it for you. It's just one of those done RIGHT.)
Fun characters and strong writing isn't a reason to watch it?
And it's kinda weird to say the story isn't interesting when it hasn't even started in the anime.
Can a show have strong writing when it takes four eps to even start the story?
The anime has been extremely enjoyable despite that so yes.

MHA is a show that wants to grab you, I'm gonna hate myself for saying this, emotionally. It's supposed to make you laugh and tear up in the same episode.
So if you think it's really boring, it's probably because you doesn't work for you emotionally on any level.
And I can understand that.

Maybe I don't think the characters are fun and I don't think the writing is strong? It's just a straight adaptation of a manga which I think is kinda meh. When everything else I'm watching is so much more interesting than this, it's hard to want to bother watching more of it.
I think so too but I'm familiar with the manga. Have you gone in blind or is this a case of you enjoying what you're seeing because you already know what's going to happen?
The story is tropey, yes, but it takes the tropes and gives it a spin of their own, honestly this first 3 episodes have really just touched the surface of what the show really is about. I am aware you read a bit of the manga (I don't know how much?) but the show is beloved for their characters more so than its story, that even now 80+ chapters in is starting to REALLY get into gear and throwing curveballs at the reader.
MHA is really not original on its premise and its not trying to be, its not trying to be edgy nor profound, at least not yet, what its set out to be its to be a fun relatable story that you can pop in your TV and let yourself immerse in. I'll hardly call it an overrated shonen when its carrying on its sleeve exactly what it is, a shonen made to be as appealing as possible without pandering to the lowest common denominator.
The hype is not because its the best shonen ever, but because its the purest shonen in a long time. If you don't like it that is fine, I guess, but trash... eh, that is harsh.
Hey now, my OT title was perfect, PERFECT YOU KNOW! The other option was Frog Factions 2 and I hate frog factions references, hate them!
I read the manga so that part is true. I just love how great of an adaption it is.
Maybe one day there will be a sequel.

I struggle to have any strong emotions about MHA. Bones should have brought Okada in to spice up the script.
I am really starting to turn on show and may just HAM on it because of all the cloying hype it isn't living up to thus far.
it's duckroll strong emotion day
/edit it's kind of funny because I don't know if there's anything about MHA i'd call 'standout' and go out and prolesthyse/advocate the same way I would, let's say, Gurren Lagann. It's just... solid. It's All Might. It's larger than life shonen done well. That's all, no more, no less.

MHA its a very emotional series after all.
Is there blood involved?
Too lewd for me. I mean k-kissu without holding hands first? Get that filth out of here!
I agree it is a cute show but i cant help but be weirded out by the show at times.
