Description: Today, we delve into the phenomenon that is My Hero Academia. From its meteoric rise to becoming a global sensation to the recent whispers of discontent within the anime community, we explore the paradoxical nature of its popularity. Drawing comparisons to juggernauts like One Piece, I dissect the elements that propelled My Hero Academia to stardom while examining where it may have stumbled. With insights into the evolution of animation quality, narrative depth, and fan reception, we uncover the enigma of why a series with soaring manga sales and unwavering acclaim seems to have lost its grip on the zeitgeist. Join us on this analytical journey as we ponder: What happened to My Hero Academia? And can it find its way back to the forefront of our collective imagination? #myheroacademia #mha #anime ► Music (all taken from the Monogatari OST except for 'Fantasy Lied'): - Old Fashion - Tekkamen - Otona - Aizuchi - Youkoso Koyomioniichan Kawaigatteagerune - Gaidankousetsu - Watson-kun - Fantasy Lied (Re:Zero OST) - Kazoku Kaigi ► Thumbnail Design & Channel Visuals: https://www.ianmcolgan.com/ ► "Copyright Disclaimer, Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for 'fair use' for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Its meditative narratives delve into the delicate balance between humanity and nature, prompting introspection and a newfound appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things. As I embark on sharing my journey with Mushishi in this upcoming video, I'm thrilled to invite you all into this transformative experience, where the ethereal beauty of the anime intertwines seamlessly with reflections on existence itself. ► Tags: #mushishi #anime #manga ► Music (all come from the original Mushishi anime OST): - Kotowari - Yawarakai Tsuno - Shinen - Rinne - Oki Tsu Miya - Kago no Naka - The Dew Consuming Swarm ► Thumbnail Design & Channel Visuals: https://www.ianmcolgan.com/ ► "Copyright Disclaimer, Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for 'fair use' for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Sadness is not enough to describe the feelings in this episode, and I personally loved the ending- but the same can't be said for everyone. Today I discuss the reasons I think the finale was bound to be controversial- why we, as a society, have come to expect certain things and built up to imagine something that ultimately disappoints when it isn't exactly what we wanted. Discussing the Zeitgeist, what it's like to write a manga, and more...
