NEWS: My Hero Academia Casts Kouki Uchiyama as Tomura Shigaraki

Didn't realize how fast the anime was going until this announcement. I look forward to Shigaraki appearing in the anime. He's such a creepy villain, and he'd be vastly overpowered were it not for his eccentric behavior. And not being that bright.

fast? We've only covered a handful of chapters it's being executed perfectly I think

Uchiyama is Shigaraki? I guess after Meruem, he wanted to know what it was like to voice a good villain for once.

Meruem was a disappointing villain. So, he wants to turn the human population into Chimera Ants? Okay, how are you going to manage that, genius? The only known Chimera Ant Queen died giving birth to him. What, are all female Chimera Ants queens? If so, why does he have his female soldiers out on the front lines? The amount of male Chimera Ants drastically outweigh the female, so common sense would dictate that he'd keep the females out of battle if he wants to achieve his goal. His motive didn't make much sense. I don't like the "Genocide Solves Humanity's Atrocities" cliche. What's the logic in that? Wouldn't the mere threat of somebody like Meruem be enough to get humanity to comply with his orders? Not to mention his motive is also pretty cliched. He's a member of a race of powerful being that believes humans should be wiped out so that his race can be the dominant species. Yeah, that hasn't been done a million times before. He ends up being a total Villain Sue. The second he's born, he's already a genius with enormous power, and he survives spoiler[getting nuked], which makes his spoiler[death by radiation poisoning] a massive cop-out. Finally, we're supposed to see his relationship with Komugi as his redeeming quality, but their relationship is many layers of creepy. For one, Meruem is a cross-breed of many species, and he was only a few weeks old when he met Komugi, so we get a combination of bestiality and pedophilia. Second, despite holding her hostage and threatening to kill her multiple times, she spoiler[falls in love with him]. Yeah, there's a disorder for that. It's called "Stockholm Syndrome." Finally, he makes no effort to make her leave when spoiler[he contracts radiation poisoning]. After one warning, he decides it's okay to play Gungi with her again as they spoiler[slowly die together]. That's not romantic. That's disturbing.
