"Oh my... OH MY GOODNESS!" -All Might
How entertaining it was: 10/10. The only score that matters.
This show has been such an emotional and hilarious ride for me. Going into this series, I never thought I will like a wimpy crybaby protagonist so much.
In fact, after watching the first episode, I was thinking about dropping the show because the main character seemed so pathetic. I thought it was going to be a shitty knock-off of One-punch man.
BOY WAS I WRONG!!!!
The protagonist is very smart, only wimpy because he is initially powerless.
This is a story of how he came a strong hero!
Right off the second episode, the series hit me with feel train. I laughed. I teared up. I became hooked. I went on to watched the whole series and jumped right into the manga.
For a shonen genre show, this series features a very mature atmosphere, showing us the harsh reality of life. And yet somehow, the show makes it so funny, emotional, and action packed with its masterful story progression, narration, very well developed characters, the animation, and the music. It really knows how to hype people up, similar to what Haikyuu is known for.
Oh my god. Do not get me started on the music. I can easily write a page about how perfectly fitting and ear-gasmic it is. But you would be bored of reading by then. It contributed so much to the viewing experience, enhancing the feels and emotions in the series.
Season 2 is currently airing, and the manga is very good (ranked top 10 on MangaTown).
Try the first 3 episodes. If you're in for a emotional yet funny action shonen geared towards both the young and mature, I guarantee you would enjoy Boku no Hero Academia.
