    I love how many characters have super gross powers or weird body stuff going on. It always feels like the world is populated half by Stan Lee X-Men and half by Morrison X-Men.

    In the latest ep
    I got a huge laugh out of Bakugo’s mom going off about how he has an amazing quirk and is naturally good at everything so people kept fawning over him and he ended up like this.

    Does anyone know why episode 50 isn’t up on funimation by any chance?
    The simuldub is no longer simul, it's on a 2 week delay

    Hmm, that’s kind of a bummer. Maybe I should finally make the switch to crunchyroll.

    It's especially funny when compared to
    Todoroki's dad

    He's all "I GOTTA HAVE THE STRONGEST SON IN THE WOOOOOOOORLD"

    And Mama Bakugo is all "yeah stop spoiling my kid, he's a little brat".

    I love this show!!

    This latest season has been great and has even made me start liking bakugo, who I found to be more tedious than anything until s3. Somehow liking his character now makes me like him in the first two seasons a lot more too somehow

    I very pleased with how they keep subverting the expectation that he's going to pull a Sasuke and go from being a rival to a villain.

    He's just a jerk but he really sticks with the hero thing.

    Edit: sticks, not sucks. Stupid phone.

    Mineta can just kind of go disappear somewhere and never have anyone comment on his existence anymore and I'd be cool with that.

    I assume that crunchyroll is the best way to watch this from the start?

    Hulu has the bulk of the show, subbed and dub

    If you like dubs, this show has a great one and is Simuldub so everything except for the most recent episode is available on Funimation

    Any time they try to humanize Mineta like at the end of Season 2 it just comes off as very forced and also just doens't work.

    Mineta can't be salvageable as long as his only character trait is "is always a pervert"

    I literally can't think of anything else about him

    He's with Tail Dude, Sugar Boy, and WeirdHead Animal Guy in the group of students who get very little characterization

    This is obviously a trap, everyone that posts on this thread is probably being added to a list. (Oh no, what have I done. =\) It is surprising how much of a fan base this has gained in a relatively short amount of time. One MHA funko that was a hot topic exclusive a little over a year ago is $200+ due to increased demand.

    p.s. I'm probably already on a list. ^.^

    The problem is that Mineta is always being brought up to be the focus of a part of an episode despite getting little to no characterization other then what you said.

    Also the anime/manga seemingly mocking him for wanting to see the girls in their bras and everyone reacting with disgust and then showing the teenage girls in bras is a bad look always.

    this show mostly rules but the gross stuff is just gross enough that I'd feel weird recommending it to someone without some qualifiers so that sucks

    Also the MHA-verse really is afraid to show a boy and a girl having a straight up superhero fight I feel like

    A lot of Class A falls under this. When's the last time we got to see pink acid girl do something that developed her character?

    Who is everyone's favorite minor background hero

    Is Mt. Lady minor?

    Because she's definitely my favorite if so

    The detail about her always being in debt because she keeps destroying shit is hilarious

    Yeah I would say so

    Anyone who isn't part of the UA teaching staff or directly related to one of the students (like Endeavor) should be fair game

    Outside of, like, Gran Torino I guess

    The UA principal is the best entirely because of the final exam with ashido and kaminari where he has waaaaaay too much fun being a villain.

    Kyoka Jiro seems like she might do too much to be a background hero.

    If so then Mt. Lady is my fav.
