Mha? You trolling?

Literally day it airs to boot. I'm actually really impressed that Funimation has been able to keep pace so far, especially since that series has so many voice actors.
Yes, MHA, and no, I'm not.
It totally botches the characterization and character arcs, which is an issue since, well, MHA is a character-based story. Fancy animation won't change that.
Yeah. The overarching plot is a train wreck but everything else about the show is great. And most of the episodes are stand alone anyway. Would watch again.
He has some unique opinions regarding the MHA anime.

Psycho Pass is still on my wishlist. Honestly surprised Funimation never picked it up.
Pfft, if you need proof, look at the reaction to Deku's character in the manga and in the anime.
Even people who like him in the anime call him a "crybaby", far more than at the equivalent point in the manga, 'cause they screwed that arc up.
Are you trying to say that they somehow messed up Deku's character in the anime? Lol, manga readers were calling him a crybaby early on too.
Not to the same degree. A lot of the stuff he did blunted those opinions pretty early. (Edit: Though tbh, a lot of that is anime fans being a lot worse opinion-wise.)
It's a consequence of how much more exaggerated the characters are, and how slower paced the anime is, it makes the characters lose a lot of their groundedness, and screws up the pacing of their arcs. It's like they're prioritizing action over characterization. It's still enjoyable and has really good animation, but the manga's a lot better as an overall story and has a much wider appeal, and it annoys me a lot that people argue otherwise.
Like, remember that conversation we had about how FMA Brotherhood doesn't work as well as the manga because they didn't handle the the comedy and tone changes right? It's something like that.
To be honest, that's a problem in pretty much any anime adaptation. One-Punch Man is the only recent example I can think of that's a proper adaptation made for animation, Mob's probably also going to be that. Most other adaptations treat the manga as the storyboard instead, MHA included, which is a bad thing.
I'm just especially annoyed at MHA's anime because, well, they clearly had the budget and time to do it right, but didn't, and made a bunch of deliberate adaptation decisions I don't like. And people go off about how it's better than the manga when it's plainly not.
...though honestly 90% of it is how everybody turned into pushy assholes about it. That was just depressing. I'm still in an awful mood about it, haha.

The mha anime has been damn near on point minus s1 pacing issues. The only issue with "deku being a cry baby" being more of a complaint in the anime is that deku's monologues while being teary eyed now have to be voiced as opposed to being 1-2 panels so they last longer and leave more of an impact. There's not much the anime could have done without changing deku's character arc 🙃

Everyone loves Mineta.
Everyone.
If someone says they don't, send them Mineta fanart till they realize their mistake.

Probably, yeah. I'm just hoping they take a while so I can forget all that bitter crap and get over it.

And peeps call MD Geist the worst anime ever. At least it's entertaining shlock with a kickass soundtrack.
"Worst Animes Ever" are a dime o' dosen these days if so.
Got Dayum!

Probably meant Mob Psycho replaces Tokyo Ghoul.
Ah, that makes sense.

I actually can't find much Mineta fanart...
It's kind of amazing.

He's the worst and everyone in and out of universe knows it.
Pretty sure the only person in the class that tolerates him is Froppy.

He tried to straight up rush half a dozen guys all as strong as a guy he barely beat one on one, including their boss, who tanked the signature attacks of two of the most powerful characters in the whole series when he was barely trying.
The plan was not smart, no matter what nen hax he has.
Probably would need a remastering first.

Kaminari does as well. They're fellow Perv Bros.

No she hates him too, only person who seems to be friends with him is Kaminari.
Ruroni Kenshin and Fist of the North Star are two properties ripe for remastering/Brotherhood treatments.
only if they decide to brotherhood it in japan first.
would love a filler free version of kenshin with decent voices in english or japanese.
as it stands we have a show with a garbage second half and terrible voice overs in both english and japanese.
Lol I'd love to see a how Fist of the North Star would be handled in this day and age.
I think it is supposed to be getting a sequel series focused on yahiko.

Same. I mean, RK is still pretty popular and I don't think it'll be a waste to get an updated version.
They did another version of the Kyoto arc, but they've still never even touched Jinchuu. Even in the live action movies they avoided doing it.
I think they're planning a Yahiko manga, basically a Kenshin sequel. It's been a while since I've heard any news about it though.
It'd make sense for them to do the final arc when the Yahiko manga hits, but that might not be in the cards for whatever reason.
If I could ask the writer of the series one thing it'd be why no one's touched Jinchuu.

The only season worth watching is the Kyoto arc season. That's it. The rest is either filler or just not that good. You do the character intro stuff, Oniwaban group arc and then go straight to the Kyoto arc.
Some of the early filler is interesting, but yea outside the cannon stuff there isn't much point.
