Netflix has been diving into the world of anime for quite some time now, and one of its earliest big successes was the adaptation of Castlevania.
Produced by Powerhouse Animation and Frederator Studios, with creator Warren Ellis at the helm, Castlevania not only garnered widespread acclaim but also catapulted director Samuel Deats into the spotlight among anime enthusiasts. Now, Deats is showcasing his admiration for another beloved series: My Hero Academia.
Recently, Deats stirred up excitement within the fandom with a social media tribute to 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 truly missing out on the depth of the series.
My Hero Academia 417 is so good… Horikoshi is doing such masterful stuff right now.
I'm just gonna say it: if you're anime-only with MHA, you're really missing out.

For My Hero Academia aficionados, chapter 417 titled “Shimura” remains memorable. Released just this month, it delved into dark psychological themes as Horikoshi explored the intricacies of Shigaraki’s mind. Deku’s desperate attempt to save Shigaraki amidst the eerie backdrop left fans in awe, further solidifying the manga’s place in their hearts.
For those who haven’t delved into the manga yet, it’s easily accessible 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 powers, Izuku’s determination leads him to enroll in a prestigious hero academy, setting the stage for an epic journey of self-discovery and heroism.
