My Hero Academia, Little Witch Academia, and now this? What's next? Secret Spy Academia?

I tend to agree with Gemnist here. It's like,what next? "Get Smart Academia" in which we have a couple of teachers who look like Don Adams and Barbara Feldon from the old "Get Smart" TV series? Does the world really need something like this? I've really gotta wonder sometimes about the animation industry in Japan. It's like they'll grab at the most bizarre idea imaginable just so they can throw it on the air.

What bizarre ideas? Rescue Academia here is about a group of children being friend with a robot, My Hero Academia is about superheroes, and Little Witch Academia is about witches. There's nothing practically out of scope there except for the similarities in title, not to mentioned that those 3 names aren't used in a lot of released anime so far. I don't know why you two need to made this so negative when there's nothing wrong with the picture at all. These 3 title ain't no ecchi stuff, ain't it? Or a borderline fanservice show? Don't tell me that what's wrong with it is just the name?

Calm down,Aferzeria. I didn't mean no harm here. I haven't seen those shows that's all. Again,their names do sound alike though. But,about my thing about "Get Smart Academia,"in which we get teachers who look like Don Adams and Barbara Feldon from the old "Get Smart" series. I don't know if any Japanese company would do a show like that,I'd be amazed if they did. But,it would be a fun show,wouldn't it?

I was just joking about the similar titles and, to a larger extent, at the gigantic amount of school anime in recent years.

Boku no Hero Academia just finished the mini-arc where they have to rescue people from a danger zone.

I was just about to finish typing a lengthy post stating me wanting to apologize but my phone died. Well, here's a shorter version. I was a bit angry yesterday while constructing that reply due to my friend saying that our lecturer has reduced the deadline for a project unexpectedly, and that's why people told everyone that we shouldn't post while angry, driving while drunk e.t.c. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

"Academia" comes from a mythic Greek hero, an Athenian named Akademos. Given that superheroes often derive elements from myths, using that title in MHA seems appropriate to me.
