Before you start typing away about how weird some of the fandom is, that isn’t what I’m asking. I totally understand how bad the fandom can be, but judging how good an anime is off of its fandom isn’t right. If you refuse to watch MHA just because of the fandom, you are way to influenced by social media. The actual anime is pretty good and it has a wide range of love able characters, well choreographed fight scenes, and good animation.

So if anyone can answer my question please do. (No spoilers for the manga please)

It's popular, a battle shonen, and the fandom doesn't necessarily have the best reputation, that's already enough for people to hate it , quite tragic.

Most likely because it's popular. Unfortunately that's how it is with everything. No matter how many people like it there will always be people who dislike it and feel the need to tell you not to like it either. At the end of the day I just choose to ignore others opinions on shows until I've made my own opinion on it.

Like everyone pointet out, the people don't really hate MHA it self, they hate the fandom. The fandom is really toxic, sadly. This is reason enough for some people to hate it. It is really sad, because this anime is great, but the fandom is way too toxic and some poeple don't have the nervs to deal with such a fandom.

NOTE: This is just my opinion, So don't harass me by quoting my post and talking trash.

I haven't read the manga, but the anime is pretty typical. It's not different from many shounen out there. But again this view cam change because I have not read the manga yet.

I was expecting MHA to the the underdog works his way up kinda show and was pretty interested. But then Deku, got the strongest quirk in the entire fucking world.

Also character flaws, Deku doesn't have any. I mean if you count the fact that he murmurs while taking notes, I guess you could say that. But seriously why do people act like he commited genocide when he murmurs.

Fast-Forward a bit. Hold up! Deku has the strongest quirk in the entire world and gets another quirk? No Fair!

Another???? Wait, He can get 6 more quirks?

At this point, it's a joke.

Don't even try to defend it.

Personally, The Villains. I'm sorry, I can't take them seriously however hard I try to. I'm aware a majority of people absolutely adore them, especially Shigaraki and Toga, but I can't stand to watch a single scene they appear in. I don't really hate Mha, it was a pretty ok shonen imo. I had fun watching it, but whenever I look back at it, all I remember are the parts i didn't like. Thats what tells you this was something you didn't enjoy. I can honestly say the same about Naruto, although it has some pretty great villains, I can't unsee the abysmal storytelling and character butchering in some spots.

Because the fandom overhypes it too much . It is a decent shounen but fandom worships it as a masterpiece . A fucking masterpiece ? It ain't even close to how epic the current modern day shounen are like demon slayer , jjk and tokyo revengers . Out of the entire story only the war arc are current ongoing all for one arc is actually good . But the fandom hates the introduction of lady nagant because the story becomes a little dark m like wtf ? How much boring cliche shit does the entire fandom likes to hate on the current arc and say that overhaul arc was better than it . Overhaul arc was boring af . The real shit in the manga begins from the war arc there the story actually becomes good it progresses from a decent 6-6.5/10 shounen to actually a good 7-8/10 shounen for me .

Personally, I don't hate MHA, it's good at times. But at other times it can get really dumb. Sometimes it gets really good, but at other times it feels like a 7-year olds head fantasy.
No matter what I do I am not able to take villains seriously.
Bakugo is perfect at everything he does/tries
Kirishijma's character development which could have been really good was summed up in like 2 episodes
To me, it's a pretty decent battle shounen, but the fans tend to praise it as a masterpiece.

I feel like quite often the loudest people are the ones with the most extreme opinions. Yeah there's some stupid stuff within the fandom, but like you pointed out, the show itself is good. However, it seems at times like all you hear are people either calling the show absolute garbage, or the greatest thing known to mankind. I personally don't think MHA is objectively bad. Sure there's some tropey/cringey stuff imo, plus other things I have criticisms of, but overall I like it and think it's good. On the other hand, I also don't think it's this absolutely groundbreaking, genre-defining masterpiece. To me it's just good and it stops there. Like some others pointed out it also happens to be very popular, which is a formula for attracting a ton of haters.

I disagree on MHA being a typical shounen. I am honestly not a fan of battle shounen anime anymore but I used to be and so I understand the popularity of this kind of anime. However, MHA is different from most of them because of its setting. Most on shounen are very superficial on the world building because the more rules the author creates the more limitation he has later to introduce new concepts. So, the typical battle shounen starts very small and introduce more concepts of the world as the main characters grow in relevance. Instead, MHA sets all the basic concepts from the beginning. You understand how the society works, the history that led to the current state, how the powers work and the scaling. This makes much more difficult to the author to change the course of the story, giving much more credibility to the show. I dont see it in the vast majority of battle shounen. In most cases, the author has a tremendous freedom to come up with any kind of convenient crazy concept just to make the story go to some direction.

Who knows. The anime is overall ok. Either most people think the show is trash, or it could’ve been a band wagon effect. Like someone with a large following said it was a trash anime and spreaded throughout the community.

This is just my prediction, but MHA don’t really deserve all the hate it’s getting.

I don't really hate it, but I dislike it because it's just really generic. The writing is lazy.
It does nothing new or special, same old talk no jitsu, power of friends bs that we've seen so many times.
The protagonist just suddenly gets powers and now he has multiple powers out of absolutely nowhere, like the absolute plot armor on the lad is insane.
The side characters are way more interesting than Deku himself, Bakugou, Todoroki, Shinsou (I still think Shinsou should've been the protagonist).
The antagonists are just really meh and don't leave an impact at all.

I have a ton of complaints with the anime and that's why I dislike it, I don't really care about the fandom.
But the people who do like it, good for them, I'm watching the anime and reading the manga with them too.

From what I can notice many people who hate My Hero state that the show is over popular and doesn’t do as much as Black Clover, Demon Slayer or JJK when it comes to making a good shounan story. While I love those anime’s more that my hero I can see how My Hero is that popular due many from the West wanting something similar to Marvel. And with Bones bringing there A game for this you can see where the love came from. Although I do think My Hero is over popular I do not hate. It just hasn’t had that moment for me to love it, but looking further into the manga I think that moment for me is coming soon.

Those who say it's trash are actually those who never watched My hero.
If you have watched it you'll know it's far from trash.Nobody really gives a comprehensive explanation as to why it's trash other than it's GeNeRiC.I've seen the same comment over and over and nobody really tells how it can be fixed.So it's just best if you discredit their opinion.

Demon slayer doesn't do as much too when it comes to storytelling.

I mean personally I have no clue. I think people dislike it for its simplicity if anything however I really think bnha has some of the best characters in any anime period. Like they are all just so likeable, so that was enough for me to put it high on my rankings. But I could understand why someone would want more from a show. Like you really don’t have to think a lot while watching bnha.

Demon slayer doesn't do as much too when it comes to storytelling.

To be honest that’s true, I should’ve explained slightly better especially with Demon Slayer but that has something My Hero doesn’t, tension. In My hero I have no doubts that no one on the good side will die unless if it’s blindly obvious. Whereas Demon Slayer has a typical story with a Attack on Titan twist where we don’t know who is going to die. As well as there injuries mattering where in My hero they just get magically healed by the nice old lady bit in Demon Slayer after fighting Rui the main cast has to recover for like 5 eps.

I have read your comment and I can only say it's mainly the community that people hate about it, it's not about the anime because it's a good show (some people may not like it but that's fine not everyone has to like the same thing) but it's purely the community that makes it look bad. Whether you like it or not people will judge the product of something based on the people who represent/consume it. In this case it's mha and it's bizzare fandom. (This really is the only logical answer why it's so hated so much).

I personally still love it, but I can see why people don’t. Most people dislike it because it was extremely overhyped. Again, I enjoy it a lot but people were acting like it was the greatest thing to ever come out of anime, when it’s just another great shounen, nothing genre defining. Another reason would be that some arcs feel very pointless and don’t add anything to the story, which a lot of people dislike. Some of the hate should disappear soon because the anime is finally animating the good arcs in the manga.
