my guy no ones claiming its deep

Yes they are, and the show itself too. That's the main thing that makes it way less fun that it should be.

No one says they watch it for the character development, sure, but that doesn't stop every fanboy from pulling the same old "oh it gets better after 40 more episodes!!!". If you really don't care about the character development then forget that lame excuse. And be willing to admit it to new watchers.

And maybe avoid opinion topics if you're gonna call any negative opinion a hater. You can pretend I don't like it cuz it's just not my thing, but that's just delusion. I love DBZ and Naruto and YYH and even YGO (especially YGO). Hero Academia is worse than those. That thing you love is mediocre, big deal.

DBZ has insanely strong character development btw, that's why it's still so popular.

the villains attack the school and the kids are being thrust into battle. Its a bit on the exciting side! And All Might busting in NOT Smiling is AWW YEA. What with the eye guy getting his fucking arms violently broken, I legit thought Frog girl was about to die. but yea, this ain't attack on titan

Exactly. The situation they set up was very hype and tense. There were hostages taken and there was this theme of action vs inaction and offense vs pacifism that was going throughout all the different fights.

And then it's all instantly resolved by reinforcements busting in and headshotting everyone and the main guy using force and breaking his body again. Everyone is healed and literally nothing was lost or changed.

gotta give it more than a season to see development smh

No I think 13 episodes is enough to see the needle move a little bit in that department.

This is the problem with shows like this though. The fans ALWAYS come back and say "no trust me man, it gets better in S2". So you watch 25 more episodes and... it's still basically the same. And then they say "no really S3 is where it gets good!!" etc etc. Exact thing happened with JoJo part 3. It's the most basic disappointing carrot on the stick ever.

OPM has 12 episodes. JoJo part 1 has 9 episodes, part 2 like 15. The amount of development in those series is massive. There is no excuse for having 13 episodes of static, let alone 50 episodes (though at least JoJo part 3 wasn't basic, just insanely repetitive).

The fact is, this is just not that kind of show. It's not made to have character development or any kind of depth, and people don't watch it for that. But this show is weird in that it tries so hard to pretend it's deeper. That's probably what people mean by "taking itself seriously" even though the show itself is silly. It's like getting a salad at mcdonald's.

I love OPM and couldn't get into this show at all. It's so dated and basic. I feel like it's even more basic than Naruto. Every character is super archetypal and shallow yet the show feels the need to slowly walk you through all the same old story beats, like you're some sort of idiot. Like yeah we get the whole main guy/childhood rival/girl dynamic, get on with it. After 5 episodes they were STILL focusing on the same boring core characters, instead of the 30+ potentially cool other characters.

All that is okay I guess. It doesn't compare to OPM in the slightest, which is more of a drama and cares about good writing, but there's nothing wrong with some basic shonen.

But the show promises so much and provides absolutely no substance at all. None of the characters changed at all since episode 1. I skipped to the end of S1 and still no one changed. They pretend they have this thematic subversion because the main guy hurts himself when he uses power... but literally all the conflicts from episode 1 through the finale are solved by brute force. The show thinks it's cool and mature for merely asking deep questions, even though it completely avoids answering.

You might like it for the animation and the basic formula and mayyyybe some characters, but there's nothing thematically or emotionally interesting in it.

Also if it's an office job (which is pretty much the only job I would ever have) then I wouldn't tolerate any commute. It's the biggest waste of time ever for something that can be done better remote. If it's a few minutes on a bike that's probably fine though.

I mean it's a satire of the modern notion that you need to be super plugged in and consume all sorts of media in order to be a valid member of society. Like you're sub human if you're not "informed" in a very superficial way.

Made a game last weekend that pulls from an archive of a bunch of 40s-80s videos. There's a bunch of war videos and they're really weird. This one is apparently to train the Navy (and the public) about the evil Japanese, but all the footage they show looks totally wholesome and nice. Plus they make the Shinto religion sound totally badass with Amaterasu and such. Really weird juxtaposition. Propaganda has gotten way stronger nowadays.

I scraped archive.org for ~1600 videos the game lets you play up to 32 of them at the same time. You have to pick out related words that match the videos on the screen while avoiding incorrect words. Like fact checking in our media-obsessed age, etc.
