Now that MHA is over, would you put it in your top 10 shonen of all time?

I think it’s a good show with plenty of strong points. From the soundtrack to the epic fights and villains. Mha nails the classic shonen vibe to perfection. Seasons 1 to 3 were absolutely amazing, unfortunately the series did not maintain that same level of excellence in later seasons.

Would I put it in my top 10? I dunno. The manga ending was sweet but it didn’t feel fulfilling. Also some scenes in the anime were complete flop and deserved better, especially for a series that popular and loved.

Not really. I think there are many shonen than MHA. But sure, it's only my opinion. :3

while it's obvious what you're talking about, you should still specify that that you're referring to battle shounen, since the demographic contains a lot beyond just action and mha would never be in a top 10 if one would include every series that was ever featured in a shounen magazine and the like.

but to try and actually answer your question, i'll attempt to give 10 battle shounen series that i think are better than academia and if successful, i'd have to answer with a no.

these are in no particular order (nor do they necessarily represent what my actual top 10 would be, they just came to mind first):

hunter hunter
naruto
one piece
bleach
jojo
gintama
magi
FMA
attack on titan
demon slayer


to conclude, academia is not in my top 10 of the genre, but i do like it though.

It's the only shonen I love (like jjk, but not on the same level), while others weren't that interesting to me, it is a great series and I am waiting for season 7 to end/when I will have the power to watch it to catch up

Battle Shounen? Probably

All Shounen? No way

I have a lot to say so bear with me...
While it does have some good themes and character development, I won't put it in top 10 shonen since we still haven't got a lot of character development from other characters. The ending is also as bland as it can get. There is still no implication that Uraraka and Deku are dating. If they didn't had feelings at the start people wouldn't have complained about it.
There SHOULD be a sequel to wrap up other character arcs. BIG MISTAKE to end the series while they were still in their first year wtf?? The war should've started when they were in their 3rd year or something. It would've been cool to see the characters doing actual hero work and title the sequel "My Hero Agency" or something but Hori doesn't have any plans to do sequels.

Probably not. I remember watching a few episodes when the 1st season aired but quickly lost interest due to so many other Anime titles that interested me way more during this time period.

Just to name a few... "KonoSuba", "Grimgar", "GATE", "Dagashi Kashi", "Re:ZERO", "Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto", "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress", "And you thought there is never a girl online?", "The Asterisk War", "Hundred", "Joker Game", "Mob Psycho 100", "Food Wars!", "New Game!", "Alderamin on the Sky", "Drifters", "Keijo!!!!!!!!", "Izetta: The Last Witch", "Brave Witches", "ReLIFE", "Monster Musume", "The Seven Deadly Sins", "One Punch Man", "Chivalry of a Failed Knight", "Overlord", "Prison School", "Gangsta", "School-Live!", "Sky Wizards Academy", "Ore Monogatari!!", "DanMachi", "Death Parade", "Junketsu no Maria", "Cross Ange", etc...

When MHA 1st came out it just seemed like a generic Battle Shounen aimed to appeal your typical young teenager and at this point in my life don't have the interest to invest my time/money to watch over 150+ episodes of an Anime franchise for a series I have extremely limited interest in. There are far more Shounen Anime (almost countless to exaggerate) I find more appealing than MHA and none of them are in my top 10 favorites. lol

If there were only 10 battle shounen, Boku no Hero wouldn’t be among the top 10.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

No because I dropped it halfway through season 4.
