FIXING MY HERO ACADEMIA | Re-Animating & Color Grading

Heroes don’t always wear capes. Sometimes they wear wide glasses and just use better color grading.

I think a massive problem in this season is the censorship because just imagine a complete messed up shigaraki that look like a zombie diving at aizawa, man the terror

0:46 holy shit that unfinished anim is actually gorgeous im so upset they werent given enough time to finish it

The static blue skies in every episode the past 6 seasons are particularly egregious since it loses atmosphere but another thing that bothers me is the static lighting. Every scene is lit the same no matter where the characters are. I remember when they infiltrated Overhaul's complex in season 4. It was so grating watching the characters run four episodes through an underground escape route that was a brightly lit as it was outside.

It's important to point out that Studio Bones has five sub-studios and one of them (C) is dedicated exclusively to MHA. The issue I think is that in recent years, besides several two-cour seasons (25 episodes) of the series, they've done three original feature films and several OVA episodes.

I guessing since MHA's anime schedule is yearly, it doesn't necessarily have enough time to actually adapt the story as appropriately and richer than it can ultimately be as opposed to something like Mob where they had multiple years to produce. So it's not THAT big of a deal for me personally but the gripes and criticimsm are welcomed, plus for when it does go beyond (Plus ultra) I'm moreso impressed on this adaption becuase of its scheduling.

5:13 thank you I literally imagined the sky to be a more brutal colour to match the sad and angry vibes that are coming from the characters and the war thing too but no they had to chose the brightest colour your Brian can imagine 😭

I adore MHA, especially as a manga reader and I love the work you've done to make it more dynamic and manga-accurate!

THIS! It’s the colors! The lighting is what made all the “dark” scenes FEEL dreadful

In my area of Twitter this video was treated like a plague. Actually really interesting and you were respectful the whole time. Definitely needed more creative liberty when it cake to this season, hopefully cour 2 delivers.

When people were complaining about the animation this is exactly the argument I used! The animation of the show is REALLY good, especially this season! It’s the line work and lighting that was throwing people off. I’m happy with what we got but now I want to rewatch the season with these visuals! It’s very bittersweet.

You pointing out the bright blue sky I believe is the #1 factor as to why certain moments didn't hit as hard as it could have been. We know this is supposed to be a very dramatic and dark arc, but it's contrasted with a bright, happy looking sky.

This looks great! Hopefully the second part of S6 can improve on what we had with the first part!

It's funny every 5 years or so, the anime fandom sees another overworked anime studio that has to downgrade the works of amazing people due to time constraints, and just goes "BAD STUDIO, THEY SHOULD GIVE TO SOMEONE ELSE" I remember saying that the people at Toei Animation should give One Piece to Studio Bones because My Hero is so godly animated. And 5 years later it changes up again. And don't even look that far bad. MAPPA, which are now hailed for being gods were bombarded for being a "bad studio" not even that long ago for Attack on Titan Final Season Part 1 and "The CGI looks bad (fanboy cries)" when it actually was a step up in CGI production.

I thought this season was loved, it’s like the highest rated of the entire series, Twitter always be on something else I guess.

the studio has the talent to do the animation the way we want, the number one reason they "fall short" to some is purely time restraints given enough time animators can add all those little details to make it next level

My main issue with the visuals were that they looked "flat" I couldn't think of a better way to put it when I saw it. But your edits fixed all of the problems I had

Who knew adding something as simple as clouds during that jump shot would do so much for it.

My Hero hasn’t felt like it’s truly changed much each season..sure there are moments where there are corners cut. But it doesn’t feel any different.
