Leogunner Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 I'd recommend reading My Hero Academia: Vigilantes. It actually reads as more heroic than the main series and you get more nuance in how the society works. If you're an anime fan, the main series is great! If you're more a comicbook fan, you'll start to see the Shonen take over the feel of the series as it progresses. Since I'm an anime fan, I love it but having awareness, I can also see the transition.

I'm a big Anime guy & I totally agree that that hero communities of MHA & even more so One Punch Man are like COH as anime so if you like mHA i suggest checking out One Punch Man as well!

I have seen One Punch Man, and I like it too, but it's very tongue-in-cheek. Two of the top-ranked heroes are a guy with a baseball bat and a guy who literally never does anything but somehow gets the credit, for example, and they're up there with a girl who can crush a kaiju with her psychic powers. My Hero Academia treats its story seriously, much like CoH does. A Cheat Sheet for efficient Endurance Recovery slotting Invention Set Designer Tool Spreadsheet with every Ancillary Power Pool

My Hero Academia treats its story seriously, much like CoH does. That is becuase One Punch Man is not started as a shounen focused series it started as a gag comedy which somewhat became more accomplished as a shounen much like Gintama (still keeps comedy as its base but its shounen approach is what makes it sell) and Dragon Ball (DB became full shonen in halfway DB and DBZ started as fully shounen)
Shinobu Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 Personally I find that a hero ranking system that is run by humans and gets things wrong... like ranking King as a top-level S-class hero even though he only looks the part, and ranking Saitama quite low even though his tests clearly demonstrated he's an S-class hero at the very least, is perfectly realistic. ^_^

I just got caught up on the manga a few days ago, and if you're referring to what I think you're referring to, it's absolutely shounen as all heck. Still really excited to read the next volume, though!
THEDarkTyger Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 One of the most popular current anime series. I'd say a few folks watch it. XD But, yeah, I can definitely see the CoH vibe. Also:
BlueDragoon Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Well I'm a big CoH fan, and I'm a fan of many anime, but I gotta say I really didn't enjoy My Hero Academia. "Sally was actually a virtual construct of code and graphics. Simply put, she was a computer graphic running via a computer simulation. As was Croatoa. And Paragon City and the Rogue Isles. The entire game of City of Heroes actually. None of it was real. ~ Matt Miller (Positron)"

Charistoph Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 One of the most popular current anime series. I'd say a few folks watch it. XD But, yeah, I can definitely see the CoH vibe. MHA is more like if Japanese writers wrote Paragon City's storyline. Also: Best girl is Best Girl, after all. One should keep in mind that MHA, CoX, and OPM are all much different takes on the hero theme. In MHA, we're looking at the heroes rising up to take on the challenges of the work day. A little closer to Teen Titans instead of Justice League. CoX, you're already established, and improving to face the terrors, more the workaday of the MHA world. You're part of the Unlimited League now and doing the jobs that need doing. OPM is more about the dangers of being TOO powerful and the boredom that comes with it, and not being able to exemplar or sidekick at all. Think of taking a rank 50 Brute/Tank/Scrapper against Frostfire, but he's still level-locked to Hollows range of 9, and he's the toughest fight you can find because almost everyone else is locked from 8-10 without control resistances.
