Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (13/25 eps)
I have been telling this to so many friends who love MHA. I just don't get it. World is not only about hero and villains, its a lot more complicated than that, the hierarchy created where villans don't enjoy or are given an opportunity to better themselves as human, the villans have to operate in shadow, no one tries to understand their perspectives, how according to them its a very injustice society requiring change and not their defeat.
Their world is much very much similar to our world where there are those with power, and not.

But the series neither goes into this complexity and is just a plain anime with heroes and villains, and heroes will win because who cares about villains.
Just take the current arc going on as reference, they want to save Eri-chan, but there are so many Eri-chans out there who needs saving. It's not simple as that he makes it sound and he also can't get away with saying he will save everyone.
The only part I liked was Stains arc, his motivation to defeat hero resonated with me, and I loved him, but after it, the whole story again went to focus on things it relied on from the start.
Those who compare Naruto and MHA, just don't get it, naruto is lot complex and deep then what it seems, the story of Madara, why he left leaf, predicting the discrimination Uchichas will feel, also then Pain, knowing truly what is to survive the war. Those things are at whole another level.

I get it the animation is excellent, bones are doing a hell of a job, but storywise this anime is for an amateur who is not that much interested in the complexity of the story and are just there for entertainment and fights, and there is nothing wrong with that.

PS - One should question himself/herself if this anime was handled by some other studio lets say studio pierrot behind black clover who gets so much hate, will you then also consider this anime E P I C
I don't think so. I find Black Clover more complex than this in spite of its animation.
Also, I am in no way trying to say this anime is bad, it serves a purpose for enjoyment and don't deluge much into some complexity, and those are fine with that please enjoy but for me at least I watch anime or tv series which end teaches or inspire me in some way, which for sure this doesn't.
