What can a newer series learn from an old one?
My Hero Academia has grown to become one of the most popular animes in the world. When it first aired in 2016, it was impossible to predict the popularity the series would receive — after all, many series don’t strike it so lucky right off the bat. Now, though, it's in its seventh season, with three films and a handful of video games under its belt, and there are no signs of the series slowing down.
Heroism is far less dramatized in My Hero Academia than it is in Tiger & Bunny. While My Hero Academia shows that some heroes do enjoy press attention and that things like the Sports Festival are broadcasted for entertainment, actual heroics don’t run on a schedule and things aren’t manipulated for audience entertainment. This makes sense given that Quirk users are commonplace in the world, and heroes are regarded as a type of first responder in most cases.
'My Hero Academia's Development Suffers in Comparison One of My Hero Academia’s strengths is its cast. Class 1-A in particular is full of different personalities and for the most part, each character gets a little opportunity to shine. We get to see a lot of interaction between different characters, some conflicting ideas and motivations, and some growth, especially with the series’ protagonist, Izuku.
A good point of comparison here is with each series’ betrayal plot. My Hero Academia’s betrayal plot, as mentioned earlier, centered around Yuga and made little narrative sense. More importantly, though, it had little audience impact. Yuga received little attention or development that made the audience care about him, his story, or his motivations, and he had no significant connections with the main cast that would have made the betrayal more impactful.
