Oh can't wait for it's release! I wasn't too on the money to get Attack on Titan but will probably get this

I've been following the anime in large part because my students like it and it is nice to be able to joke about the show to them.

But maybe it's because I am an adult now, and my tastes have changed, but I just find the series to be so-so and tend to have a lot of complaints about it. Namely that, despite being called My HERO Academia and spamming the word "hero" like every other sentence, it's like 90% Academia and 10% hero. Most of the characters are so obsessed with becoming heroes that they rarely, if ever, act remotely heroic. Two of the "good guys" are irredeemably annoying(a disgusting pervert who has no redeeming qualities, and an angry kid who insults and screams every word) and most of the villains are bad guys, seemingly because they just like being bad with little motivations developed yet in the anime. Though I have heard the manga has gone into that, we are on the 3rd season of the anime already, GET ON WITH IT!

All that said, the show boasts excellent action(even lacking real suspense when much it is just training), high quality animation and a decent bit of good humor. The cast is big enough that the likable characters are, on average, on screen more than the ones I dislike and at times there is good music.

The anime was really good.. Hope the game lives to our expectations

@Heavyarms55 I ignored this series on the sole basis that I am not a teenager anymore. I find it easier to digest media for children than for teens. Probably because being a teenager is very awkward and media for them need to be equally awkward.

@H_Hunter I hope you like fighting games because from what little gameplay I can find. This looks like a DBZ Budakai/Xenoverse/Fightz clone.

Man, I hope I am wrong.

Can't wait for this! Hopefully the switch isn't severely downgraded.

Not read the manga or seen the anime but will get this game.

@Heavyarms55 i feel like the show is pretty aware that a few of the “heroes” don’t really act like it (just look at Stain’s motives and how they acknowledge he is sort of right). I’ve only watched the anime so far with my college buds (we love it) and I feel like they’ll definitely give some nice character development and address that stuff eventually if not soon.

While the game does not look particularly amazing, it's pretty much a must-have for me. I just wish some joke characters were playable, like Mineta, or even the rabbit zoo director from Horikoshi's first manga. A 4-player mode would be nice as well.

I’ve become in love with this series and I can’t wait to hear more from this game, but the fact that it will be launching most likely fairly close to Smash Bros will probably have me put this one off a little.

My anime days (and most of mainstream media aside from games....except manga and jpop...) seem to be behind me at this point but this looks like a semi fun fighter. I'm a traditional 2D and 3D fighter but this might be a nice break from my staples (really wish switch was getting soul calibur...but sigh).

@Tsurii Well good. Nice to hear there is some real story coming.
