CATDOLL: My Hero Academia continues to suffer from ratings shocks, what happened to JUMP mainstay

The April comic adaptation My Hero Academia, known as the "new pillar of JUMP", has aired three episodes so far. However, the ratings of the animation have not been optimistic since the first episode, and this miserable situation has continued to this day. Is the production team still accumulating strength and preparing for a big move?

According to the top 10 animation ratings list compiled by Japanese media, My Hero Academia failed to make it into the top 10 due to its poor popularity after the first episode aired on April 3, meaning that the ratings did not even break 3%. According to the specific data released recently, the ratings of the first episode of My Hero Academia were only 1.9%, which is very tragic.

Will this embarrassing situation get better over time? In fact, it is not. The ratings of the second episode of the animation updated last week were still tragic; after the latest third episode was broadcast this week, the latest data released by Japanese media once again shocked people. Among the top ten animations, the national animation "Sazae-san" still topped the list, but "My Hero Academia" was nowhere to be seen until the bottom of the list...

Some viewers expressed understanding of the poor ratings of the first episode, believing that a passionate show needs a period of slow heat. But now that nearly a month has passed, the ratings have not improved, which makes people start to wonder if this is a problem with the animation? In any case, the animation of "My Hero Academia" has just started, and no one can predict how the ratings will be in the future. We hope that the "new pillar" can bring more surprises to the audience.

"My Hero Academia" is the third serialized work by Japanese manga artist Horikoshi Kohei in "Weekly Shonen Jump". It tells the story of a boy named Izuku Midoriya who is born without any superpowers and follows his idol hero Ultramand, and studies and grows up in the U.A. Academy which aims to train future heroes.
