My Hero Academia isn't a bad series, but is it really worth the time?


I watched this show as one of my first anime, chucking shows that I'd heard of on and seeing how I liked them. MHA being probably the single most mainstream series of today I had heard a lot about this one and decided to give it a shot, but even then I hadn't enjoyed it all that much.

I had caught up on it when season 5 started, and at that point, I asked myself whether it was worth it to continue with the series. I figured I'd drop it, but ... when you're 4 seasons and 2 movies into a show that's not as easy as it seems. I continued watching. About 2 episodes into this new season I got impatient. I didn't want to wait another week to watch something I could easily go read for myself. So I did as you'd assume and read the manga.

By god, I wish someone told me earlier how much better it is to the anime. I hate to be that one manga reader who says the manga is better than the anime just because they read it before it was adapted, but I don't think this is much of a competition. Although even then... Is it worth it? 200 chapters in it gets good and really, I wish I'd spent the time I did on this series I did on something else.

So here's the final verdict. My Hero is good. It's a good show. But that's it. It ultimately isn't worth the time you'd spend watching it when you could be doing or watching something else.
