Netflix has been venturing into the world of anime for a while now, and one of its first big successes was its adaptation of Castlevania.
Produced by Powerhouse Animation and Frederator Studios, with creator Warren Ellis directing, Castlevania not only received widespread acclaim but also brought director Samuel Deats into the spotlight among anime enthusiasts. Now, Deats is showing his admiration for another beloved series: My Hero Academia.
Recently, Deats stirred excitement among the fan community by posting on social media about the My Hero Academia manga.
In a post, he expressed his admiration for chapter 417, praising Kohei Horikoshi's masterful storytelling. He even went as far as to suggest that those who only follow the anime are actually missing out on the depth of the series.
My Hero Academia 417 is so good… Horikoshi is doing such great things right now.
I just want to say it: if you only watch anime with MHA, you're really missing out.

For My Hero Academia fans, chapter 417 titled “Shimura” is still very memorable. Released just this month, it delves into dark psychological themes as Horikoshi explores the intricacies of Shigaraki's mind. Deku's desperate attempt to save Shigaraki amid the strange backdrop left fans in awe, further cementing the manga's place in their hearts.
For those who haven't delved into manga, the series can be easily accessed on platforms like Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump app.
To provide a brief overview, My Hero Academia follows Izuku, a boy without superpowers in a world where the majority of the population possesses unique abilities. Despite his lack of strength, Izuku's determination leads him to enroll in a prestigious hero academy, setting the stage for an epic journey of self-discovery and heroism.
