The main protagonist from each series Naruto (Naruto) and Midoriya (BnHA) share a weakling persona in the world that they live in. They also share a dream reaching the top of their respective societies (Hokage for Naruto and #1 Hero for Mirdoriy). Each protagonist is also paired with a much more gifted and talented rival. The setting are very different but both series revolve around students gaining the proper training, experience, and licensing needed to become a professional in their respective worlds (Ninjas in Naruto and Heroes in BnHA). Aside from the main characters the rest of the casts for both series are immense

These both are underdog tales of sorts, MC's who were losers and struggled in the past but gave it their all and became the strongest of their time. They both have super powered characters and battles. They are both JUMP series and shonen battle anime.

- MC are very similar; the usual "I can do it" belief. Both aspire to reach their ultimate goal with the same mentality, that are similar to one another.
- It's the usual shounen story with a nice twist to it; heroes in BNH and ninjas in Naruto
- Many consider BNH to be the next Naruto
If you enjoyed Naruto, or miss It, Boku No Hero Academia will definitely fill the void. Bones have done an incredible job and the story is executed extremely well. Must watch.
Story about teenagers who are being trained in a school dedicated to cultivate people with special abilities by teachers who also possess such special abilities. Those special abilities are usually diverse with most of the characters weilding a disctinct style of abilities. After fighting with other students to prove their strenghte. they then go on to beat up some bad guys, at start usually under the teacher's supervision.
Both shows focus on younger kids that have various abilities, who battle each other and go to a school to train these abilities. The style of the characterization is pretty similar along with the structure of the story.
The art is somewhat different, but both are bright and colorful and evoke a similarly exciting feeling from the viewer.

This is a recommendation made based on how the MC resemble each other, and to some extent, lead how the story is going to progress. Both series featured a young boy who is shunned and looked down by society, and thus driving them to proved those stigma wrong by becoming 'the best'. It's an intriguing coming-of-age-type stories that will make you rooted for the MC in order to reach their dream.

Both MC's are weak, had a rough past and didn't had support of parents.
Both MC's want to be strong and help others
Both have a little comedy, lots of action, scenes that should touch viewers emotionally
In these two series, it’s needless to say that we get to watch the main character grow in more ways than one. While the main character in Naruto is a delinquent, and the one in My Hero Academia is a timid and polite boy, similarly they only wish for the best for the people around them. If you like a story about characters who start off with nothing and prove to everyone else that they can be something, then you’ll most likely like these.
This is a common recommendation, and for a reason:
-The protagonists have that 'If I try hard, I can do it!' personality
-They both involve diverse special powers
-Both are shonen series
-Both have rivals that the protagonist strives to overcome

This is the modern version of what the best of shounen has to offer. The way that Hero Acedemia paces the action, plot development, fights, and character interactions are all top notch.

Weak but ambitious main character on his way to reach the top and proving himself to the ones who doubted and wronged him. The main focus lies on his journey to power up, finding friends and rivalry.

- The loser one
- the better one
- the loser one tried hard to keep up the better one
- the loser one and the better one fight each other
these two anime have the same way of characters
Great character designs , colorful color palette , a distinct and diverse huge pool of characters , tactical battles , A school setting. It takes what made the Original Naruto series so popular and tries to recreates that magic in a Superhero genre.
deku and naruto are hopeless losers that seem weak and dumb, but they have a big spirit and receive a grand power to strike down evil and change the view of others towards them, also tournament arc and rivalry between main characters is there, they are also very palpable to the mainstream audience

Both animes show a weak protagonist that aims to become a strong person. The two animes have amazing side characters such as Kakashi and All Might in Naruto and Boku no Hero, respectively.

Similar in the aspect of the protagonist being a character who is weak and is gifted with power which allows him to be better and struggles to master his power and overcome the odds.
Main Character being being a person who is both acting like a fool and has good plans in a while.

it has weak to strong plus naruto and izuku is simular they had to grind theyre ways up
gets you hooked the moment you watch it im a bnha and a naruto fan their basically the same
both main characters aim to be the best in their world, and they both have a rival.
both bnha and naruto follow the main character becoming stronger and stronger experiencing fights and strong villains.
both anime have epic fights, comedy and of course painful moments.
Both shows have a vast array of characters. They follow the story of someone going from zero to hero. Also, they both include superpowers/special abilities type things within the meta of the show.

If you loved watching my hero academia then there is a likely chance you are gonna love Naruto as well. Both the shows belong to the same genre and in both the shows the MC is somewhat powerless at the beginning. But the character development is great in both the shows and both the protagonist have a strong sense of justice and has a goal that they wanted to achieve.
Like the atmosphere is like very similar like there is school for shinobi in naruto there is a school for heros here. Deku is like Naruto who starts off weak and later grows stronger as the anime progresses. Like Naruto there are interesting classmates and side characters with well written back stories.

Both obviously seem very different however Naruto and Deku seem to be more similar because of their drives and especially with the side characters and villains seem so similar to Naruto

These shows are both fun, entertaining, mildly childish (but have deeper meanings) and are both "superpower" based anime
Well... Boku no Hero is basically Naruto but instead of ninjas we have heroes.
- The classic shounen with 'If I try hard and don't give up I can do this' protagonists.
- In both there are several well-built characters whose anime pays attention to them without focusing entirely on the protagonist.
- Awesome battles with strategies and powers. (And a exciting action music lol)
- A ''school'' where the characters train and study to be a ninja/hero.
- Both series tries to make you laugh, cry and get upset. (And usually they can)
- And best of all, both are awesome anime.
Similarities:
-The protagonists are kind and strive to do their best as being a hero/ninja while his rival is badass arrogant dude.
-The protagonist and his rival have fought each other several times.
-Shounen.
-Awesome battles.
-Amazing soundtracks.
-Both have bits of comedy and emotional moments interspersed.
-Character development.
-Badass antagonists.
Differences:
-Naruto is more focused on martial arts techniques, adventure, and fantasy themes while MHA is more of a superhero anime.
I’ve observed these things from my anime experience, and I have now felt like making a comparison between these 2.
