Most of the writing, see the stain arc, what it promised and how it ended.

Nobody cares.

Another case where asian "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down" philosophy ended up ruining the show in the end. Don't be a hero. Be a pizza delivery boy while your crust goes to fuck all the hot heroes who kept their powers.

crush* not crust

Trvke

bump

Another case of the author being a closeted homosexual and not knowing how to write character interactions or plot threads.
Same as Gaygay and Kishimoto.

You weren't beaten enough as a child so you ended up being an autistic freak who reads media for 7 year olds.

Success isnt the same as quality

I don't truly hate it, but my biggest disappointment probably is that it didn't explore enough the problems in the society and how things could have been better, probably if at least one in the league could have been redeemed it would have helped in seeing how people can be helped, rather than just gentle, who was a streamer.
I had the opposite problem, if Midoriya during the story understood under all the glitter heroes aren't that special and just another way to support society it would have been far better than what it ended up.

Cuck manga for tourists

Bakugo fujos

Naruto clone instead of Hogwarts with superheroes.

Introduced dozens of characters and then spent all its time developing like three of them while completely ignoring the rest and expecting people to care about them. So typical shonen.

Hori introduced too many characters to try and write himself out of the dozens of plot holes he'd already introduced and adopted this tryhard "morally grey" writing that overcomplicated simple conflicts and ruined the philosophy of the series. It felt like he went through a depressive episode halfway through the first war arc and only really got his shit together during the last half of the final war. I can't tell if he's just schizophrenic or what but To me MHA always had a problem with tonal disparity between arcs, sometimes it was idealistic and humorous and then suddenly it'd take on a weirdly cynical vibe that didn't fit the rest of the show. I think the Dark Deku arc and everything in between that and the final war was where all the biggest problems of the series presented themselves; new characters randomly appearing to justify plot developments and nothing else (Stars and Stripes was one of the worst asspulls in recent shonen), the uncomfortably misanthropic way everything just goes to shit and everyone becomes an asshole for no reason, and the societal rot and institutional corruption that only really gets introduced to explain some characters' motivations. That being said, I do like some of the final war, as rushed and disjointed as it is, because you can tell Hori finally got his idealism back and the ending justifies his faith in humanity rather than villainizing them with the strawman arguments he'd devolved to halfway through. On the plus side, I think Deku bring redeeming society as a whole (instead of a straightforward villain redemption for Shiggy everyone was dreading) by making people realize they can't take each other for granted in order to prevent the creation of a new Shigaraki is a beautifully fitting end to the series. I just wish the leadup to it justified it more.

Everything

Nothing. It has never left the top 10 in the Oricons since its inception. It "going wrong" is a (You) problem.
I like how Demon Shitters think this chart is some flex when this only proves the anime did all the work for Demon Slayer. It spent 3 years without significant sales or popularity and was stuck in the 150k~ limbo for years. Vol 1 sold 13k in its first week and didn’t hit 300k until 3 years later after the anime. Getting a successful anime was basically its last chance for significantly improving sales, lol. It wasn't until the end of its lifetime that your shit manga sold well and it was thanks to Ufotable.

MHA was one of the top 10 most consistent best sellers of Jump for years since it started up until its final volume just like Naruto. It didn't need Bones holding its hand. Even JJK didn't need a studio holding its hand.

It wasn't a seinen with Endeavor as the main character.

Horikoshi didn't know how to write the ending. He clearly had 2-3 endings he wanted to write for each of the story threads and just decided "Fuck it, I'll do all of them". So we get build up and finale to defeat a villain, then cut back to them 3 chapters later like nothing happened.

Should have lived.

It's mogged by it's own spin-off for a start

What was MHA's theme when it comes to the villains? Is it really that 'society creates its own villains'? If so, the message kind of falls flat.

But the spin-off characters are all power mogged by mainline characters because of publisher demands. They can't matter, they didn't do anything meaningful and they'd be useless in the war against AFO. They're all weak and irrelevant by mandate. So it really doesn't matter.

They're the reason AFO didn't deploy Anon

being shounenshit

This basically, it has a great setting with interesting characters and all of that gets thrown out of the window because the plot is generic "JUST PUNCH HARDER BRO" shonenshit

Deku

Great art

bad everything else

Horikoshi kept improving his artistic skills. But he neglected the rest, still...better than more than 90% of the drivel published in Jump. That doesn't mean it's great, it's a solid 7 like most of Jump's “great” books.

I hate everyone in this picture

But it ended with him being a hero again…

Not all characters are suppose to be important.

How comes even normalfags are willing to admit that MHA fell off but will write nonsensical tirades defending chensoman despite sales suggesting that more than half of its JP readers have abandoned it since Part 2 began?

Hori had the Naruto ending right there for the taking, and chose to subvert it.

I mean they're the reason he delayed his plans which arguably made him more dangerous

Kimetsu no Yaiba outsold boku no SHIT's last volume by 500% LMFAO
LMAO
you lost forever
