My Hero Academia has similar traits with big shounen anime, especially One Piece. It's no doubt that it is and it will be part of the modern shounen on the top.
It very much feels like One Piece with how it emits 'adventure,' but instead of the wide world building of One Piece, BNHA provides for creative abilities and flashy fight scenes. I like how our main character begins from the bottom with no actual powers other than his quality as a person.
The story is well-paced, this season clearly is an introductory season for the series, yet it still managed to show us good action scenes the fit well in the story. I love how Deku actually compensates for his lack of mastery in his quirk. His strategies are compelling, and the way he wins fights are logical and sound.
In terms of character, I can't say much on most of the characters yet, except that Bakugo is an unreasonable jerk with no compelling motivation as to why he bullies Deku other than the need to feel superior. I also hate how Deku manages to revere him. Bakugo was never nice to him, so why is Deku so attached to him? I could not think of anything other than for Deku's character development and for some drama that Bakugo is actually the one who is envious of Deku. All I can say is Deku and Bakugo's relationship is bad and forced. Also, a nitpick, I hate that we have a character like Mineta who is a pervert for 'comedy.' When will this trope in shounen anime end? It's not funny, it's out of place, and furthers sexual harassment.
The animation of the fight scenes are okay, the soundtracks are average. Overall, this season kept me interested for more.
