Anime That Need the One Piece World Seeker Treatment
My Hero Academia
My Hero Academia is the latest anime to explode in popularity, and it’s just about the biggest thing in the anime world right now. It certainly has all the makings of a legendary Shonen anime, but the series is also screaming to be made into a full-fledged video game experience.
There are so many factors that make My Hero Academia perfect for gaming, but sadly we’ve only gotten a middling arena brawler so far, with My Hero One’s Justice. Combining My Hero with elements of RPGs like Persona could make for a fascinating experience, one where you play through the daily school life of U.A. High School, attending all of your various hero classes while interacting with classmates.
The best idea would be to let players create their very own heroes-in-training, and choose from a variety of crazy quirks. However, a My Hero game that has you take control of Deku would work just as well.
We’ve seen countless open world superhero-themed games at this point, like Prototype, inFamous, and Crackdown. There’s no reason that a similar idea couldn’t work for My Hero Academia. Maybe you could even play through the story of an original pro-hero, as they work to protect their city from the nefarious forces of darkness.
The Vigilantes manga has shown that the universe of My Hero Academia has some diverse stories to tell, and an ambitious AA game would be the perfect way to expand upon that.
