Summary:

The appearance of “quirks,” newly discovered super powers, has been steadily increasing over the years, with 80 percent of humanity possessing various abilities from manipulation of elements to shapeshifting. This leaves the remainder of the world completely powerless, and Izuku Midoriya is one such individual.

Since he was a child, the ambitious middle schooler has wanted nothing more than to be a hero. Izuku’s unfair fate leaves him admiring heroes and taking notes on them whenever he can. But it seems that his persistence has borne some fruit: Izuku meets the number one hero and his personal idol, All Might. All Might’s quirk is a unique ability that can be inherited, and he has chosen Izuku to be his successor!

Enduring many months of grueling training, Izuku enrolls in UA High, a prestigious high school famous for its excellent hero training program, and this year’s freshmen look especially promising. With his bizarre but talented classmates and the looming threat of a villainous organization, Izuku will soon learn what it really means to be a hero. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Review:

My Hero Academia is a shounen anime. The anime fallows the story of Izuku, a kid with no super powers that is aiming to become a hero. To be honest I didn’t want to watch the anime at first. We recently had One Punch man. So I wasn’t excited to watch another superhero anime. Then I was told that the villains were brutal so I decided to watch it.

The anime had great fight scenes. One of the best fight scene’s I’ve seen for a while to be honest. The character design and characters powers were quite interesting. The plot was good. It wasn’t satisfying though because there will be a season 2 and we’re waiting for that. Nevertheless the anime was funny, exciting and pretty badass in terms of fights and such. They didn’t overpower the main character he’s still a weakling. That one of the best qualities of the anime.

Overall Rate: 8/10
