Synopsis

The appearance of "quirks," newly discovered super powers, has been steadily increasing over the years, with 80 percent of humanity possessing various abilities from manipulation of elements to shapeshifting. This leaves the remainder of the world completely powerless, and Izuku Midoriya is one such individual.

Since he was a child, the ambitious middle schooler has wanted nothing more than to be a hero. Izuku's unfair fate leaves him admiring heroes and taking notes on them whenever he can. But it seems that his persistence has borne some fruit: Izuku meets the number one hero and his personal idol, All Might. All Might's quirk is a unique ability that can be inherited, and he has chosen Izuku to be his successor!

Enduring many months of grueling training, Izuku enrolls in UA High, a prestigious high school famous for its excellent hero training program, and this year's freshmen look especially promising. With his bizarre but talented classmates and the looming threat of a villainous organization, Izuku will soon learn what it really means to be a hero.

I just came to see All Might and thought the show was about him but was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't. The show's really good
The animation style is really good, and the pacing is too especially from the later seasons.

My main problem with it is that some of the elements are just really stupid or silly like one girl has a power of having 3.5mm audio jack attached to her ear like what's that ??!

The show is kind of silly but is pretty enjoyable to watch, my favorite part would probably be the final battle between All Might and the Nomu which was just great

Mixed Feelings
If you want to watch My Hero Academia, don't start with season 1. Go and watch season 4 or 5 first, then come back to get that "backstory" you missed out on.

My Hero Academia fluctuated a lot in terms of quality over its course, and sadly, the first season is a very mixed bag that is still controversially discussed, even within the fandom.

While it introduced various interesting concepts, such as being a normal teenager in a world oversaturated with heroes, the effect the wide-spread occurrence of superpowers had on society, or the story of a top tier hero struggling with the loss of his power, ...

I watched this on cable tv when I was in middle school and even then I could tell how ass it was, I cringed so hard while watching. The secondhand embarrassment nearly killed me. Midoriya is the most annoying main character I have ever set eyes on, he is such a crybaby and don't even get me started on Bakugo. I've seen other people make this point as well and I fully agree, out of all the freaky looking people this sweaty preteen goes to school with he chooses to bully Izuku Midoriya his childhood friend just because he doesn't have a quirk? Not the ...
