  I tried some stuff with a few animated manga panels in this video. Let me know what you think of them! Should I do more in the future?

  Fun fact: in the manga- during the arc where class 1-A goes to get Midoriya back, Bakugo says ‘look at you! Your even drawn differently!’ I’m not sure if they kept this detail in the anime- but he does look differently drawn in that arc than later, with the shapes seeming to be more blocky. I always thought that was interesting-

  I always liked how the characters hair is done differently during down time. (like Kirashima’s hair is all flat, Aizawa’s hair is in a bun, ect)

  Cool video, I always loved Horikoshi's designs. Also, I appreciate how MHA kept up the tradition of other manga like One Piece of more imaginative and colourful designs, as opposed to a lot of other manga nowadays tend towards more realistic and muted designs for their human characters.

  Shigaraki's design evolution is possibly Horikoshi's greatest banger

  Looking at Deku's vigilante costume reminds more and of Stain's costume every time I look at it, and merging that with the theme of his costume being questioning everything about hero society and then look at Stain's motivation, being that he believes that most heros only do hero work for the praise and the money, it fits well with Deku's character in his vigilante arc. Just something I noticed as I was watching :)

  MHA has some of the most iconic designs in anime and honestly just generally in terms of entertainment as a whole. There is a reason why so many people cosplay his characters and they are so huge on the internet. They are very different but very good character designs.

  Finally, someone appreciates the great aspect of MHA. Its character design has been consistently great and unique. Also, love how the costumes change and evolve with the characters and also their looks like Deku and Kirishima.

  I've always felt like Class 1-A and the main characters are extremely well designed, but 1-B and a lot of the side characters are a definitely a bit generic-looking, but its like that for most animes

  I’m so mad I just got the fact that Deku wears his SMILE as ARMOR

  Really good video! Something I noticed about Dabi's design is that his costume hints at his reveal later in the story.  He has a white t-shirt under his black coat, which lines up well with his white hair being dyed black.

  Todoroki’s scar is from his mother trying to cool his face down with her own quirk, not the boiling water itself! Todoroki’s hot side would have had the heat resistance for the boiling water, considering that it can literally be set on fire and be fine.
