You have a loser main character whos an outcast due to his weakness, a jerk rival who is way more powerful, but extremely selfish, a teacher who sees the true potential of the loser main character, and works to draw out that power, etc. What sets it apart, to me, is the cast it has to work with, and the story potential currently being given to us. A lot of shounens fall into the trap of becoming dull once the story begins kicking in, and the main character is at the forefront of every battle using the same techniques to finish off opponents. MHA has so far avoided this, though it is still pretty early in its lifespan comparatively speaking. Each student has unique powers, none of which feel truly drawn out at this point. In this most recent tournament arc, ~~the main character loses in the second round, I think~~. I honestly couldnt tell who was going to win each match, and that was really fun for once, even if the end result was a little lame. The plot is also getting pretty interesting. Stain is a cool villain because, despite his obviously incorrect actions, he presents a philosophy that does have weight. I mean, just look at what so many of these heroes are driven by: Money, fame, power, etc. Hell, even Urara only wants to be a hero for money. Sure, its to help her parents out so its not exactly selfish, but the idea of a hero in this society isnt exactly a symbol to look up to. Weve seen that even the most famous heroes can be complete scumbags with Enigma. This narrative theyre pushing now, with other powerful characters being motivated by Stains philosophy, has some real potential. I mean, Dekus always going to be a pure hero who opposes the methods of such a group, but it intrigues me to see how other characters will deal with such idealism. Obviously, this isnt really a complete write-up and a lot of me talking about where I think it could go, since the show isnt even close to complete yet, and is actually in the middle of a season. Just know, I am eager to see whats ahead, even if the pacing has always been problematic. --- http://i.imgur.com/l7xxLh1.jpg PSN/Steam - RoboQuote ; NNID - TazzyMan <cite>tazzyboyishere posted [p:899651815] in Tazzy Rank...
