A really fun, straightforward, joyful shonen with all the stereotypical expecations of the genre, yet executed in such a way that it's hard not to enjoy it. The MC is quite generic and not necessarily the most compelling character, though that is very much the point of his character--he works very well within the story introduce us to the world. That said, my main critique of BNHA is that I would like to see him exhibit flaws more and that I wish the female characters were better written. However, the other characters, particularly Bakugou and Todoroki, as well as Shigaraki and Dabi as villains and All Might as a mentor figure, really shine. Their flaws are well written and realistic, their journeys compelling, and most arcs feel very satisfying in their conclusions. The more background characters also get moments to shine, and are compelling in their own right. The art is fantastic, and the creativity of the world building really stands out--a superhero power with earphone jacks? It's very unique.
