[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[Guess Who]

A few years after. I dunno, looking at it from within I realize the stupid things I've done and how I'm still doing them now, but how things could have changed if I could do the things I do now. For example I actually make money now so I can get cool shit. I can get into people's faces and argue with them without some teacher putting me in detention for causing a disturbance. I don't have to tolerate kids acting shitty with me when I can really threaten to hurt them, and it's not just an empty threat . But I digress.

But more related to My Hero Academy, I guess what I meant to say is that in getting to that point where in starting to see patterns and growing bored of it. I like the side characters more because they have more interesting quirks then the main character, who embodied the usual tropes of Shonen protagonists. Inspirring, sure, but the kid feels like liscencless rider without a Saitama as a foil. There's nothing wrong with being a hero even if you're weaker, but we all know that won't stay same for long. The kid gets stronger, he gets the respect he's he's never had, probs gets the girl, etc. It's nothing new and I guess I can't fault it for using what works. Maybe I just want something more relatable and within my age range.

Speaking of of other animes, anyone going to try to keep up with that zombie steam punk one? Made by the peeps who did Attack on titan, but I'm also getting a Tokyo Ghoul vibe from them. Might be dank.

@Lucius Cypher

Never heard of it. I liked Attack on Titan, but Tokyo Ghoul... not so much. What's it called?

If I'm being honest I prefer live high school dramas. There are some really good ones too like Switched at Birth and Gilmore Girls, or if you prefer a high school drama with supernatural/magical elements Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

@Prince of Seraphs

Unless the high school has something to set it apart like with RWBY where it's more of a combat school with high school elements I usually get bored with those kind of settings. Especially because my preferred genres are action, adventure, etc. so drama really isn't my thing.

@Lucius Cypher Shirobako is a fun work com.

@Guess Who

Switched at Birth takes place at a deaf high school which makes it rather interesting but I suppose everyone has there niches. You could try Buffy, that's certainly not boring.

@Prince of Seraphs

Hmm. Who knows, maybe I'll try Buffy some day. Have really fallen behind on my TV watching recently anyway though and that will probably only get worse with Dark Souls 3 coming out Tuesday.

Aight, I bookmarked it. I'll watch it sometime. Maybe this week.

@Guess Who

Essentially it's a supernatural drama about the blond girl from all the pre nineties horror movies who got killed in the first ten minutes. Except in this version she kills demons and goes to high school.

@Prince of Seraphs

I already know that, it's not like it's an unpopular show, just have never had enough of an interest to begin watching it. Been tempted once or twice, but never more than that.

@Guess Who

I figured it was old enough and popular enough that everyone has heard of it but not many people actually know what it is. In any case it is really good... except for season 6 but that was mostly cause it was depressing not cause it was bad.

@Prince of Seraphs

I actually kinda like the more depressing stuff as long as it isn't just the whole series. "The heroes shouldn't always win" is one of the rules I like to follow when it comes to stories, otherwise it gets boring because you know what'll happen next.

@Guess Who

Well in Buffy the good guys always win, otherwise you know the world would end and all that but there's always a serious cost to saving the world. Unlike Supernatural where they just pull some powerful magic out of there ass with no repercussions.

The 6th season was depressing cause Buffy's life despite all the good she'd done had seriously gone to shit.

As you can probably tell with how much a like to screw up Robert's life, I enjoy that too.

I think it's on Netflix if you want to give it a go.

@Lucius Cypher

As someone who's been reading the manga for MHA basically since day one, I can at least assure that it's actually rather good at subverting and avoiding standard shounen tropes. The one's it does use, it uses well. Honestly probably my favorite part of the series is that fact that Izuku actually uses his brains and doesn't fall prey to the standard idiot ball. It makes the whole series much more interesting.

Also Kacchan is love.

@Prince of Seraphs

The whole point of Angel is that the good guys never really win for long.
