"Huh? A 20-something villain?" *Shigaraki applies face hand* "SHIGARAKI THE 20-SOMETHING VILLAIN?!"

2022-01-09 03:31:46 +0000 UTCI’d hardly call that a fight… it was rather one sided if anything. And that only lasted a chapter or two in length.

2022-01-09 02:56:10 +0000 UTCThat's interesting to think about. I wonder what's at play there to create that difference.

2022-01-09 02:54:06 +0000 UTCAnd it's here... I think it'll help your overall experience that you have that background knowledge from the Manga that the Anime just skips entirely, things would be much more confusing without it. Hell, the chronological order of events is already all over the place because they switched the MVA arc and the Endeavor internship arc around... I think Redestro just wants to make an example out of the League of Villains because they are famous and he views them as easy pickings.

2022-01-09 00:15:49 +0000 UTC"the adaptation is fantastic" "as an anime-only" 🤔

2022-01-08 22:55:18 +0000 UTCI wasn't into this arc in the manga. I thought the Gigantomachia fight was repetitive and boring. I like how the anime condensed the arc to what was necessary and by the end, I definitely understood why folks like the villains so much and felt more compelled by them too. I didn't switch sides or anything but the anime worked in a way the manga couldn't for me.

2022-01-08 22:20:45 +0000 UTCHe only read those three chapters, fortunately. And I made sure to advise him to only read the full manga version till after he finishes the anime version.

2022-01-08 19:20:11 +0000 UTCI wish we saw the villains go to a vacation on the beach instead haha. Like I like this but I think I'm not as obsessed with it as other fans because I would rather see them play volleyball then crash Chan and Ruon-Jian's party while learning about each other and smoothing out the wrinkles in the process.

2022-01-08 18:56:23 +0000 UTCMy Villain Academia IS FINALLY HERE. As an anime-only this is definitely one of my favorite arcs in the entire show. I love the change to the OP as well to the MVA title. So hyped to get further into this storyline.

2022-01-08 17:06:30 +0000 UTCYeah definitely don't read any material about this show until you have completed all the anime-only content. Most of us wanna see reactions to reveals when they happen in the show, the adaptation is fantastic so I don't think you need to go to the original to get the better story, as an anime-only this arc is one of my favorites in the whole show.

2022-01-08 16:59:49 +0000 UTCThe true way to distinguish Hero from Villain, there ringtone. All Might has that amazing “A phone call is here!” ringtone while Twice literally just has fart noises. Why Twice, why do you have a fart ringtone? Explain yourself.
benj
2022-01-08 16:53:07 +0000 UTCLike a few others have already said, I suggest reading the chapters after watching just because I'd love to see your reaction to the reveals in the anime! The parallels of how All for One and One for All give their inheritors different hope when they say, "I am here!" reminds me of Avatar and how the Avatar gave everyone hope, but with Zuko, it was a different and more personable kind of hope.

2022-01-08 16:52:31 +0000 UTCEhh reactions arnt as fun when you read ahead and know everything now.

2022-01-08 15:38:52 +0000 UTCIn the manga, this was my absolute favourite arc for the focus it gave the Villains and the stakes it introduced. Unfortunately, due to it being done as a flashback, the outcome is a bit more obvious if you put the pieces together. Plus the cut content which, while perhaps not immediately important, I find adds a lot of characterization to the smaller villains like Spinner. I still think the arc is really good regardless, it still does a couple of my favourite moments pretty darn well, but it was disappointing that it didn't quite live up to expectations because they changed the order of the arcs and they took up time in the season for a filler episode to tie in with the third movie.
Jo
2022-01-08 15:15:20 +0000 UTCIm not sure if you have read this before, but for some reason the anime decided to re-organize the order of the arcs for this season. Basically, this villain arc should have happened right after the class fights. The end of the season should have been the Endevour training arc that you just finished.

2022-01-08 14:10:44 +0000 UTCThis arc is actually pretty unprecedented. As apparently never before in a manga has there been an arc focused completely on the villains! Of course this where the difference in audience interest comes into play, cause villain focused arcs aren’t very popular in Japan. Whereas here in the west this arc is considered one of the best, in Japan it’s one of the least popular, the exact opposite of the JT arc. This probably played a factor into how this arc was treated. Horikoshi probably had to deal with a lot of editorial push back when writing this. Cause Japanese audiences don’t like it when the focus isn’t on the protagonists apparently. It’s considered taboo.

2022-01-08 10:19:43 +0000 UTChe definitely needs to react to Arcane, it seems like the type of show he’d really enjoy analysing. so many interesting concepts with stunning visuals too.

2022-01-08 09:22:31 +0000 UTCglad you read the cut content! i think you’ll really enjoy MVA, can’t wait for you to reach a certain episode huhu. maybe after finishing the season you could read the entire arc in the manga so that you can see some of the uncensored/cut content. MVA has to be my second favourite arc, its so cool to have one dedicated to just the villains. i will be looking forward to seeing your reaction to the next few episodes !
Nat
2022-01-08 09:20:52 +0000 UTCNo heroes for several episodes. This arc is all about the League and their journey
Nick A Sam III
2022-01-08 08:25:46 +0000 UTCGreat reaction as always! Have you given thought to what you will watch next once you're caught up in MHA? Arcane might be a fun one, only 9 episodes and it's extremely good.

2022-01-08 08:20:37 +0000 UTCI also was going to comment something like this.

2022-01-08 07:23:40 +0000 UTCReDestro’s voice being evil Maes Hughes is always so weird to hear.
Nick A Sam III
2022-01-08 06:49:50 +0000 UTCnot sure that i'd read stuff from the manga before watching, i feel like they show and don't show certain things for a reason, like the 'son of destro' reveal, but maybe it adds more. I personally find this part of the arc amazing having not read the manga.
