My Hero Academia begins the story of a life set in a special world. Every creature there has a superpower or Quirk.
This world is also inhabited by various heroes with super powers and most of its inhabitants are strong.

However, there is an innocent, special, weak, and powerless young person who lives in that world. He is Izuku Midoriya or Deku (Daiki Yamashita).
Izuku is not strong like his other friends. He was often bullied and discriminated against by the people around him.
One of them is Katsuki Bakugo (Nobuhiko Okamoto) who often bullies Izuku because he is weak.
Living side by side with super people doesn't mean Deku also has a Quirk. However, he has a great interest in learning.
His dream since childhood was to become a superhero. However, as he grew older, it seemed that his dreams were not easy to achieve because of his limitations.

In the synopsis of My Hero Academia, it is also said that Deku has an idol hero, All Might (Kenta Miyake).
Every day, Deku continues to try, train, and learn about how he can be like the unrivaled All Might.
Deku also enrolled at U.A school, a prestigious educational institution known for its extraordinary hero training program
This school is the target of many young people and is one of the most favorite so competition for entry is quite tight.
After meeting All Might, he had a lot of confidence and believed that Deku had the soul of a hero and could be his successor in the future.
Deku's attitude of wanting to learn and having the heart of a hero was able to make All Might submit so that he was willing to give him the full knowledge of his powers.
Moreover, Deku's basic ability to get All Might's recognition is very promising if he becomes a superhero.

However, Deku's struggle after being trusted by All Might did not stop there. Deku still has to complete his education.
He also has to deal with other students who are no less talented, then there is the threat of an organization with evil intentions because they both have the ambition to become superheroes.

"*" = Canon / Don't Skip.

I watched all of these anime during Fall 2023

Top anime (in my opinion)
New in Fall 2023:
1. Can't choose between these 2
KUSURIYA NO HIROGOTO, FL was kidnapped and then became a lady in the harem palace, because of her abilities as a pharmacist, she became a concubine's servant
Beautiful visual art, with exciting and interesting mystery comedy

UNDEAD UNLUCK, ML's ability to not die (Undead) but ML is looking for various ways so he can die then he meets FL with the ability to bring bad luck if other people touch the FL (Unluck), initially they are chased by an organization called union but then join To become a member, they have to complete a mission to get a prize, if they don't succeed, they get a penalty
There are several gore scenes (blood and body parts), the fight animation is really good and cool this season, the story is interesting

2. KAMONOHASHI RON NO KINDAN SUIRI, there are 2 MCs, Ron is a strange/flirty detective who has the ability to make perpetrators commit suicide, the other is Toto, a police detective who can be said to be a restrainer so that Ron isn't weird.
Each case is interesting and the solution is explained in full and it's not too long (1-3 eps after finishing 1 case)

3. SOUSOU NO FRIEREN, the story of Frieren's adventure after defeating the demon king while remembering Frieren's memories, especially when he was in the group of heroes, the background sound is also really fitting for each scene. There are lots of moral messages that can be taken away, the animation is also good, beautiful down to the small details and the movement is smooth, because the genre is adventure, not action, so there is rarely action, but once there is, the fights are cool

Sequel:
For the sequel, I don't know why there isn't much interesting, it's finished in the summer I think
1. DR STONE NEW WORLD PART 2 continuation of Senku with his genius brain to make various discoveries, this time his enemy has a tool to turn people into stone

2. SPY X FAMILY S2, cruise ship arc

3. SEIJO NO MARYOKU WA BANNOU DESU S2
The FL from the modern world keeps getting called to isekai to become a saintess, but when she's called, it turns out there are 2 people who are called, the S1 is quite annoying because the other person's appearance is richer than a saintess + is beautiful, so FL is ignored by the prince (she's the only one who's annoying), even though FL is a saintess, in the season finale in FL she was recognized as a saintess by the people there, this is final season

Top Anime Opening songs of Fall 2023 (in my opinion)
1. Fly High by BAE (Paradox Live The Animation Opening 1)
Paradox live is a hip hop group consisting of BAE, Cozmez, The Cat's Whisker, AkanYatsura, Buraikan, 1NM8, Visty, Goku Luck, Amprule
I know this group from YouTube, and the anime is an adaptation of the group's battle music
2. Tokimeki by Ikimonogakari (Kibou No Chikara : Otona Precure 23)
This anime is a sequel to the old school anime Yes Precure, where the story is about the characters who are adults
3. Kieru Made by Hana Hope (Hametsu no Oukoku)
Humans who are afraid that they don't need wizards because they already use advanced technology, start committing mass murder against wizards, the MC, who is a wizard's student, sees his teacher killed in front of his eyes, takes revenge by slaughtering humans.
In this anime the story is tragic, dark, full of revenge and war


Top Anime Ending songs of Fall 2023 (in my opinion)
1. Bang! By BAE (Paradox Live The Animation Ending 1)
This is the first song I heard from Paradox Live, it's my favorite, so all the songs are definitely on my playlist 🤣
2. Perfect World by LMYK (Megumi No Daigo)
About the fire brigade, their struggle to save people
3. Lilac Melody by Aina Suzuki (Seijo No Maryoku wa Bannou Desu S2)
