• High crime rate which is the basis for the premise of that world is probably a result of high poverty
  • State responds to it by profesionalizing "heros" which are just glorified cops
  • Extreme glorification of "heros" in the media and propaganda
  • "Heros" must form or work at private hero agancies so that means they are privatised

So yeah, japan in the world of my hero academia is a private police state that responds to poverty by being "tough on crime", this show is just pure ideology

    Watched "Tiger and Bunny" a while back... its kinda the same. The show had far fewer "super heroes" but while they fight crime they are followed around by viewers at home in a live reality TV styled program like "Cops" in the USA.

        I think I've heard of that one but haven't taken the time to find it... its a comic that has some animated? or live action version right?
