Both are hero animes and while One Punch Man is already strong, the character around him are similar to those in Boku no Hero Academia. They both feature a lot of different heroes and their daily struggle. One Punch Man is a little darker in tone and if you want a strong protagonist from the get-go, try saiki kusuo no Ψ-nan or psycho mob 100 !

The main character doesn't have something that everyone else has, being super powers or magic until hope appears. Both are Shounen Jump series.

The main protagonist from each series Naruto (Naruto) and Midoriya (BnHA) share a weakling persona in the world that they live in. They also share a dream reaching the top of their respective societies (Hokage for Naruto and #1 Hero for Mirdoriy). Each protagonist is also paired with a much more gifted and talented rival. The setting are very different but both series revolve around students gaining the proper training, experience, and licensing needed to become a professional in their respective worlds (Ninjas in Naruto and Heroes in BnHA). Aside from the main characters the rest of the casts for both series are immense

Both are similar in that they both feature a class taught by an outstanding teacher (All Might/Koro-sensei) with an objective goal in mind. In My Hero Academia, it's all about becoming heroes. In Assassination Classroom, it's all about becoming assassins. Even the main characters are similar: Nagisa and Izuku both wanting to aspire to be like their teachers, violent geniuses Karma and Bakugou, and the cheerful, hardworking Kayano and Uraraka.

First three or four arcs of Hunter x Hunter gives you the same wibe of character progression on their powers, and while it kinda slips at the bug arc, it still goes long and strong.

Both are underdog stories. the main characters are very similar. Both are very inspiring, passionate, hype and action packed with a hype ost

A world in which superheroes are our daily routine and the idea of them has somewhat been "commercialized": this is the first thing that triggers Tiger & Bunny in your memory while watching Boku no Hero Academia. No worries, they are definitely NOT the same thing but still share some mentionable points in common that might lead you to decide to watch them: - The thrilling and captivating concept of super powers will always create heroes and villains but it's always interesting to see how this will be played out, what ideas will be poured into it and what circumstances and consequences will come from it;

Do u have a dream? Do u have a wish to become as a great person who u admire? Both show tell a story of a teenager who wants to be a Great hero/witch like their Idol in their childhood ... They struggling, exercising, and hardworking to reach their dream, with their disabilities (Izuku from Boku no Hero Academia isn't have a quirk / any superpowers, when Akko from Little Witch Academia isn't has any magical power / isn't born from witch's bloodline) Both have similar art style too, and very funny

Both main characters are kind, sensitive, intelligent and with their own little quirks. Super power and a super sensitive nose. Both Tanjiro and Midoryia have a trainer (Urokodaki and All Might), they go through lots of hardships in early year, but have decent development and become stronger.

These are quite different shows tonally, so the enjoyment of both shows would mainly rely on one's enjoyment of watching high school kids using super powers. These shows both are set in a high school full of super-powered teens. It's always entertaining to see the different techniques characters use to apply their powers to a situation, and how two or more characters' powers interact with each other. With these powers also comes the theme of the pressure these characters face by being thrust into difficult situations that kids their age in our universe would never have to deal with.

Both newer phenomenon JUMP series. 2 of the 3 manga that were dubbed "JUMP hell trio" alongside the now ended manga Chainsaw Man (although it's anime adaptation will soon join BnHA & JJK and likely be as big a phenomenon!!) Both experts at balancing their darker moments with their more lighthearted humour and lovable characters.

A pushover with a bad haircut starts at a school where people have supernatural powers while he technically has none (instead his powers are borrowed). Marimashita Iruma-kun is more lighthearted and cute.

Both are motivational shonen series. One Piece tends to have stronger antagonists and the conflicts tend to be more epic, while Boku no Hero Academia has far better animation and is much more focused.

-both animated by BONES -both feature a boy who has yet to learn to control his incredible powers -both main characters appear to be weak and desire to protect others

Both super powered shonen anime with main characters who are both desperate to become "heroes". Both have supernatural aspects. Both series are very lighthearted in general with good comedy however can also ramp things up when they get serious/dark. Both have excellent OST's and character designs.

These shows have in common: - Similar characters/ character types and personalities - Super power theme - The main character is hiding a secret and making everyone wonder - In both, characters are students in a "special" school and have to work as a team. Differences in these series: - Boku no Hero academia revolves around weak main guy, who aims to become stronger and be the hero who can bring smiles and protect. In Ao no Exorcist the main character is already strong, trying to get accepted by others and befriend with them and his ultimate goal is to defeat Satan. - Boku no Hero academia is more straightforward while Ao

Both shows deal with quirky (pun intended) characters with special powers and that's where the overt similarities end, but I've heard BSD described as BNHA with guns and that's honestly not too inaccurate.  
report Recommended by matsuhannah
Like I totally understand that every person that watches BNHA would think, "Oh hey! Super heroes... One Punch Man!" but I'm truly surprised that not many individuals have brought up a show that is similar in almost every aspect excluding it's whole superhero concept. Soul Eater. First of all, the main similarities between the two for sure lie in the plot lines. The plot in both series revolve around teenage characters set in a school setting catered towards those with supernatural abilities and from there the overall action-packed, comedic atmosphere provides more evidence to their similar traits. I find the characters in both shows generally

Deku and Simon. They're both the underdog kids you just love to root for when the tides go against them. Wish them luck when things go uphill, cheer for them when they learn to overcome obstacles. The rush you get from watching these two grow up to be the great people they would be is pretty addicting.

Well, this is like Boku no Hero Academia but more dark version

Shonen style show, colourful animations, with a cast of super powered teens, both shows are very hype feel-good shows. 
report Recommended by GeoGeostar
Both are essentially the same plot on one series takes place in a world of ninjas and the other series takes place in a world of super heroes and villains. The idea that they are going to become the top ninja or superhero. Also big casts are in each one where a bunch of people with unique abilities are all over the place. 
report Recommended by Jahobren
Both follow successors to some of the strongest characters in their respective universes. Both are high intensity action shonen with plenty of battles, special abilities and power up's. Both have dynamic and varied casts of lovable characters. BnHA/MHA is clearly inspired by Boruto's prequel series the classics Naruto & Naruto Shippuden (Boruto being set in the same universe).

Both main characters are incredibly similar, almost to a T. They have low self-esteem, are often bullied, when one day a famous figure steps into their life to help them become the person they want to be. Both (a boxer and a hero) will require a great amount of training and combat trials. Ichiro and Todoroki are also relatively similar in personality and how their relationship with the main character unfolds.

Emotional! Intense! Amazing characters with an intense will to become something greater! Incredible way of manaigng the story and charismatic characters with a fully comical and very reliable sensis. Incredible but similar art styles, which flow amazingly with simple but very eye-candy animations.

These animes give the same type of feelings. Both Midoriya and Endou, who also have a similar personality (they never give up) look up to someone who they want to learn from. They're both giving their all to reach their goal, even though they start with pretty much nothing. Inazuma Eleven and Boku no Hero Academia both involve super moves, although Inazuma Eleven is more sports related and BnHA is more about real hero's. In both animes the characters aim to save the world in some way and they also both involve competition.

Even though both anime look and feel different, the main idea behind the two shows are the same. In Food Wars Souma attends a cooking school (Tootsuki Culinary Academy) while Midoriya attends a school that trains heroes (UA High). Both Souma and Midoriya has untapped potential and grows steadily over the course of the series. Just like Souma's wish is to bypass his father, Midoriya wants to be the successor for All Might. Both shows have tournaments and battles and unforgettable side characters.

Both recent hit anime. Both have really good lovable characters with a wide range of creative designs. Both also have great art styles and OSTs. 
report Recommended by JVskunkape
Both shows have a similar energy. and while Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru (KTF) is a sports anime and Boku no Hero Academia (BHA) is a superpower anime, they both are strong shounen anime. Characters that aren't where they want to be build themselves up. The enjoyment level, the mindset of the characters, and the drive to succeed are common themes while both anime's do it completely separate ways. If you enjoyed the type of character development in KTF, you'll certainly enjoy the adventure and characters in BHA.

We all have an idol, that someone who pushes us to overcome our weaknesses, like these protagonists, who want to learn. At his side, a veteran, who supported him from the front or back, a cheerful girl with great potential, a boy with inherited abilities with wounds without being erased. Two series where there are unique abilities, powerful rivals, lifelong partners fighting for the same goal and opponents who hide in the shadows.

The main characters wants to be a hero really bad and they both become heroes in the end. 
report Recommended by DangoKuhaku
The MCs of both shows are able to use powers. They both go to an academy, but that's more relevant in MHA. The power system is far more developed in Railgun as they make more focus on the scientific side and how they can use them. They both fight against "villians". Both have good animation, fights, ost, etc.

A normal guy who loves heroes dreams of becoming a hero and works hard towards achieving that goal. Under the tutelage of his own childhood hero, and surrounded by others who are also working to be heroes, the main character strives towards realizing his childhood dream. BNHA takes more inspiration from American comic book heroes, while Samumenco leans more toward the deconstruction of Japanese hero tropes, such as those common in tokusatsu and sentai series; both are a love letter to superhero stories.

Our protagonists embark on an adventure despite their weaknesses, to become that idol that inspired him to move forward with his dreams. Enter a school where will meet people with powers, where will discover your own power.

Both MC's are weak in the beginning, but become stronger and stronger later in anime with a little help from their friends. Both have comedy, lots of action and fighting. Both MC's care about friends and are heroic - willing to do all it takes to help them, even if they have to risk their own lives. Great soundtracks

- Sudden development of superpowers in the world and it's effects. - Superhero schools. Boku no Hero Academia is actually set in the school, whereas Hamatora is set after the protagonists have graduated from the school. - Emphasise on 'quirks' and 'individuality' in relation to superpowers. - Lots of action. - Bright colours.

SHY is basically BNHA. We have a world where ppl suddenly got supernatural abilities and started playing heroes, the main girl has low self-esteem, but tries her best to be a good hero

Both include people with superpowers. Although Boku No definitley has a better plot, Jojo has great characters and animation. 
report Recommended by PretzelDawg
Both feature people with superpowers (Genestella for Asterisk and Quirks for MHA) and high school setting (all schools of Asterisk and UA High) with awesome action scenes complete with funny moments. Both English dubs are super awesome. However, Asterisk is more fanservice-y than MHA. Aniplex of America distributes Asterisk while Funimation distributes My Hero Academia.

Boku no Hero Academia and Concrete Revolutio are both series about superpowers done by studio Bones. Each show has a first cour of 13 episodes. Both have a fairly large cast. Each of them have somewhat unique art styles. They are also both fairly weird series. If you liked one, you will probably like the other.

Both protagonist has a special power and both enter a school for that special power. Differences are - in Boku No hero academia (BNHA) the mc didn't have a power (quirk) until he was given one. - in Gakuen Alice (GA) the mc didn't know she had a power (alice). - in BNHA most people have a quirk but in GA only some have an alice.

- Both start out with weak but enthusiastic boy. - That boy then has to train hard in order reach his goal. - Both of the boys start their journeys later than the other kids so they have to work harder than everyone else. - Though they are not about the same thing, one being heroes and the other being soccer, they both encompass similar ideas.

Both series have great narratives, good fights and charismatic characters, if you liked Nanatsu no Taizai, you will probably like My Hero Academy especially the second season, in it some characters are deeper and have better fighting scenes.

Superheroes, super villains, and a bunch of weird super powers; what else you need to love both series? Maybe know that Crook is a seinen and BHA is a shounen; outside of that, you will enjoy both.
