I dropped MHA Season 3 midway so this'll just be my review up until that point. I don't plan on picking it up again.

Story: 5/10. MHA brings up very interesting questions and themes but does nothing with them. The fast pace of the story is great for entertainment value, but it also causes the show to skim over its characters and themes. Certain arcs with potential are just glossed over in just 5-7 episodes, leaving us with forgettable moments and characters.

The pacing is also very inconsistent. Villain arcs are rather ok for the most part, but they're then usually followed up by a boring ... and long training arc that doesn't even flesh out the characters well. Even after 50 episodes, most of the characters are still the same one-dimensional brats they were in season 1, even the PROTAGONIST hasn't gone through any substantial development other than crying at his insecurities and then punching things really hard.

Wasted potential at its finest.


Art and Sound: 9/10. Fantastic and consistent.

Character: 3/10. It's amazing how people think MHA has a diverse and well-fleshed out cast; this cast is possibly one of the worst I've seen. Characterization in MHA means giving each character 1-2 generic personality traits and calling it a day; only 2-3 characters actually have some depth to them in the form of a backstory, but other than that most of the characters are bland.

Not to mention the villains are absolute jokes. There is nothing remotely interesting or original about them, all they do is sit in a bar. Even one of the most hyped up antagonists was rather underwhelming during his big moment.


Enjoyment: 5/10. As I watched MHA, my perspective slowly went from "Oh this is awesome!" to "...another training arc?" to "...what's the point of all of this?" The animation is fluid and beautiful, fights are well done and the quirk power system is better balanced than most, but at the end of the day there is little to no growth in the characters and little to no development in the themes of the story. I eventually saw MHA as nothing more than eye-candy to be binged, and even then I ended up dropping it.

Overall: 5/10. Ok shounen, nothing outstanding but nothing abysmally bad. At the very least it's a fun watch, but something forgettable and overshadowed by shows that actually are ambitious in their storytelling and attempt to integrate their themes with the character development and plot progression.

Have you ever liked an anime's characters so much you wished they got out of the dreadful story they are involved in?

Well, BNHA is this case.

Why does a season 2 or a season 3 always get more praise than season 1? That's because people who already saw the awful plot already dropped the series and the only ones remaining are the ones who praise it a lot.

But why do i keep watching it even though i almost gave Season 1 a 5? Well, because people told me Season 2 was a "masterpiece". I decided to give it another chance and I was not ... disappointed. Midoriya's plot armor had disappeared for a time being and the anime focused on other great characters (such as Todoroki and Ochako).

As a matter of fact, I decided to give Season 3 a go. Season 3 is the worst season of BNHA, and it's not hard to know why (spoilers ahead):

1) Plot armor. Midoriya once again defeats a strong enemy (who nobody cares for btw) using an asspull power-up. All Might defeats the most powerful of all enemies by just talking and a Smash, ugh.

2) Filler episodes. They stretched the whole License Exam arc, one of the worst arcs out there. Playing dodgeball? Ugh. Rescuing people? Ugh. The worst of all filler episodes was the mystery episode. Midoriya solved the case just himself, which takes me to the other point:

3) Midoriya. He is becoming the Kirito of BNHA. He solves cases, always saves his classmates, girls love him, boys praise him. even the teachers always speak about him "he's the heart of the team". And what even bothers me most, is that Midoriya can't stop crying. He has to cry 2 times each episode. It doesn't feel emotional at all, it feels horribly forced. When Bakugo cried, it felt real. Midoriya is just crying and crying for everything. He is the worst character in this series.

4)Arcs and villians. Have you noticed how we are moving in a full circle? That's because this story is not going anywhere. We get a "training arc", then an "exam arc", then the villians appear out of nowhere with no special reason and we get the "Villian team arc". Then, a bad guy (nobu, stain, All for one) appears and the pro heroes have to defeat him with the help of the students. Then we go to the starting line. I don't think that after 50+ episodes, some students have only figured this much of how to use their quirks. For example, the acid girl now just uses her hands to shoot at larger distances. Midoriya only figured that he has legs, Bakugo now shoots an explosive beam. We are going nowhere if you think they are progressing.


5)Filler characters. Each 2-3 episodes, we are introduced to great new characters. These characters are designed perfectly. They are great, i am not kidding. The guy who can manipulate his skin? Great! The gale guy? Amazing! What's the problem? They are only introduced with the sole purpose of giving one fight and never ever appearing again. They even introduce us "The Great Three"; i am sure they will get disposed once this arc ends.
---------------

But not everything is bad about BNHA, I mean, i love its characters (except mineta, the tail guy and the sugar guy). The animation is superb, the fights are amazing too. The music is meh. But I am seriously considering to stop watching this after too many Deku-focused episodes, too many filler and it's horrible writing.

Well, I have been told "Overhaul" arc is super dark and i cannot miss it. Maybe I can give S4 a go, but if it dissappoints me, I can assure you I won't hestitate in dropping this series.

I dont want to lose more time on this anime.
Combat have no animation. pretty much boring combat except the tech behind and the strat.

The worst thing about this anime is the 15 minutes episode for 24 minutes. They SPAM AND SPAM those names and abilities each fucking minute. Annoying af after 3 season. NO NEED TO TELL ME WHAT SHE LIKES SINCE YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FILL THE 24MINS. Oh and yes I know what I watched last week im I dont need 3minutes of the past episode.

We all know pop music. We all know trash artist like Nicki Minaj without talent. ... This anime is pop. Made for kids so who needs art and a vision.

This season is a great example of how a show with potential could rapidly descend to mediocrity, and this is coming from someone who enjoyed the first 2 seasons. The writing this season has been so bad, that it’s impossible for me to review it without dissecting just how bad every part of this season was, so spoiler warning. Anyone who hasn’t already seen this season, stay away from this review.

We start off with a mini training arc, continuing this show’s incredibly repetitive formula of training arc – villain attack – tournament arc – villain attack – training arc – villain attack. Then we’re reminded ... of one of the show’s weakest points, the villains, they’re just so hilariously incompetent, they always lose, and they’re painfully dumb. Shigaraki, who after his confrontation with Deku last season, the show would like you to believe he’s some sort of a criminal mastermind now, came up with such a genius plan: kidnap Bakugo and turn him into a villain. Why Bakugo specifically you might ask? Did he do his research and discover he had a history with heroes that would make him more likely to betray them? Some psychological weakness he could exploit? Nope, it’s because he saw how angry he was in the ceremony of the last tournament and thought “Hey, he hates the hero society just as much as me!!....Yes, that’s right. That’s the reason he risked his entire crew (and lost some of them) for. Remember how it was weird when Todoroki suddenly didn’t want to use fire against Bakugo in the final even though he just had that break through with Deku and used fire just 1 episode earlier? I thought it was just because Horikoshi wanted to save this cool fight for later in the story maybe, the reasoning was lame but I didn’t mind. But now I get it, Todoroki didn’t use it, so Bakugo would be upset, so Shigaraki would see it and this whole stupid arc happens now. Brilliant writing.


Deku’s fight with Muscular made it certain for me that this show wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. Wasn’t this show supposed to be about how an underdog who could beat stronger opponents by outthinking them? It really came down to who shouted more passionately. “My 100% broke my arm and it had no damage on him?? Well I’ll use the same broken arm but this time with 1,000,000 %!!” And then Horikoshi corrected it in an interview saying no it’s actually just 100%, he was just joking I guess. You know your writing is bad when you have to clarify something in an interview that your own story failed to do.

Then comes the peak of the season, AFO vs All Might, I was actually dumb enough to expect All Might to die in this fight. I just thought this must be it, the reason manga readers keep saying this show is amazing, the reason this season was hyped so much, and it makes sense story wise, he dies taking down AFO and passing down the torch to Deku, that would be such a great turning point for the series, an actual death that changes everything, actual consequences in this series, I mean we all know All might’s literally useless as a mentor, so what possible role would he play in the story if he’s still just around as a skeleton? But yeah that was definitely my mistake, expecting a show as safe and bland as MHA to do something so risky, I mean what would happen to the sales of All might’s figures if that happened? We can’t jeopardize that! So the fight ended up being a dull replica of the muscular fight, a punch that didn’t work in his muscular form now worked better in his skeleton form somehow, and AFO proving to be not as menacing or bad ass as we thought, but another dumb villain with no motives or interesting perspective, just like the rest of them. The dullest final boss fight I’ve ever seen. Brilliant writing.

Then came my absolute favorite moment of the entire series: Deku, who is supposed to be a smart guy, after nearly 60 episodes into the show, finally discovers that instead of always using punches, he can use his legs too. The way the show treats this discovery as something epic and groundbreaking is the most unintentionally hilarious thing ever. I mean the epic OST was used, and everyone was so shocked and impressed, even Bakugo was like “I just made up this new AP shot, but Deku just kicked a rock?? Damn it, I’ve been bested again!!” This is without a doubt the most retarded power up a shounen protagonist has ever had. And btw he did actually use his legs before (he broke them twice), and after that muscular fight he specifically said he didn’t use his legs to keep moving afterwards and help the heroes, so yeah, Brilliant writing.

Obligatory training arc comes, a whole bunch of new characters are introduced, another psycho girl that likes Deku for no reason (that turns out to be the same previous psycho that likes him for no reason), but my favorite one is Inasa the wind guy. He was supposed to be the best of all the students on recommendations at UA, but for some reason he didn’t join UA and we were left to wonder why for a couple of episodes until they revealed the amazing reason: Todoroki refused to shake his hand once…. This guy’s only defining characteristic in the show is that he’s so passionate, well apparently he wasn’t passionate enough about being at UA to overcome the PTSD he got from one random guy not being too nice to him. That was such a mind-blowingly dumb reason, again such brilliant writing.

The final part was the Deku and Bakugo fight, that was cool to be fair, animation was great and all. Honestly though I still don’t get why Deku respects or cares about Bakugo so much, this was your school bully, he kept tormenting you and abusing you all your childhood, why the hell do you even consider him to be a friend at all? What redeeming characteristics do you see in him to keep caring for him after all this time? His desire to be the best? Really? You’ve got really low standards in picking friends Deku, you should value yourself a bit more than that.

The season ends with the introduction of a new villain, who if the show keeps sticking to its incredibly repetitive formula, is probably gonna end up being another stepping stone for Shigaraki, just like poor Stain did.


All in all this season pretty much exceeded my expectations in how horrible it could get, but fortunately it’s still in the “so bad it’s actually good” area for me, I still enjoyed it enough to watch the next season, although I have zero faith in the story getting any better, so it’s probably gonna be a bumpy ride.

So basically this is a show where kids with superpowers fight other kids with superpowers, it's kind of like X-men if X-men were like 15 and had tournaments where they fight each other with some "beat the bad guy" arcs thrown in between.
Most of these kids doesn't really have any kind of original or interesting superpowers and that would be okay... if it weren't for the main character.
The main character has the most boring power of all, it's literally just super strength. They tried to offset that by making it so he has trouble using it at first but of course he overcomes ... his own limitations so each time I just rolled my eyes because just like with any other shounen anime the limitations are only temporary.
I do not recommend this anime but at the same time it's not bad and I like it, it's just nothing special really.

"My Hero Academia’s third season is quite an outstanding product."
Before I finished this third season, and I had only watched the first twelve episodes, that is how my first review began. The season's first twelve episodes are probably the best in the series up until this point. The Forest Training Camp and Bakugou Arcs that these first twelve episodes adapt bring out the best of the main characters and setting in stone a new fate for the future of the anime.
Unfortunately, I picked up the anime and manga series almost a year and a half later, watching the next thirteen episodes, and witnessed the true ... nature of My Hero Academia.

First off, I would like to say that Bones offers great animation and sound for the My Hero Academia anime. But there is no fixing the problems I experience with this series that come straight from the manga.
Most of our characters, after 60+ episodes, have almost no development. I've come to conclude that outside of Deku, Bakugou, Todoroki, and MAYBE Uraraka and Kirishima, all of Class 1-A are background characters that exist solely for pleasing fans. When they appear on screen, they are there simply for "funny anime moments" and for the sake of screentime. They don't actually get development that matters in the grand scheme of things. For the most part, they are not needed in any important situation, and the series could easily do without them existing at this point. I notice that the series has a habit of introducing new characters and making them SUPER important, but doing frickall with Class 1-A. If they're going to have screen time, at least give them proper exposition and development.

Then there's the entire Hero License Arc from episodes 14-25 of this third season. It honestly feels like an arc that exists solely for hype, just so we can see the characters fight. The entire arc's theme is really tired out, in every season since the first we seem to have an arc where Class 1-A trains and/or fights in "unique terrain" that includes generic city and rocky formations. Compared to the first two arcs in the season, the arc feels dragged out. Though this is more of a personal thing, it could have carried on faster. The fillers added throughout the arc add virtually nothing, including a fight with an anime-original "all-girls high school". And here we go introducing new "competitor schools", building tension without release, because they do absolutely nothing within the arc and the only ones that even slightly matter are two characters from Shiketsu High. At this point, I feel like the story is introducing too much characters to know what to do with. Overall the Hero License Arc was incredibly boring despite its importance of obtaining licenses.

I would like to conclude that the series has a formula that goes from Deku and 1-A funny antics, training/student combat, fight the bad guy. Rinse, repeat. U-A Arc to WSJ Arc. Tournament Arc to Stain Arc. Forest Camp to Bakugou Rescue. Hero License to the next saga. It really takes out any sense of progression and makes it seem like no matter what the series will return to the status quo. While Episodes 13-25 sucked out my enjoyment, I cannot deny that the first 12 Episodes, the next season and even everything before has a crazy amount of potential for growth. I just wish My Hero Academia would give more time nurturing the things it needs to blossom.

I really enjoyed the first two seasons of this show.
But the characters and story have failed to remain interesting, so I will not be keeping up with it anymore.
It is so clearly drawing out the story as long as it possibly can so the show can run for as long as possible.
This season peeked dramatically half-way through, with a tired "win by punching harder" fight. And the rest of the season was pretty dull.

Ultimately Another Forgettable Anime.

What else do I have to say? In the first two seasons I fell in love with the characters and the setting, but this season failed to deliver drama, ... romance, or comedy. Although it did have a few new concepts I enjoyed.

Of the three seasons I found this one the most boring, but I enjoyed it more then season one due to my growing love of the characters.

The biggest downfall for this season is the lack of pay off for the two seasons of buildup. All for one is portrayed to be a mega-powerful villain, and he is, but he is somehow defeated very easily in a relatively boring boss-fight. This is redeemed however by Allmght and the internal battle he goes through during the fight. The test arc is pretty entertaining but not quite as much as the tournament arc from season 2.

My ... favorite part of this season is the relationship between Deku and Bakugo which sees a lot of growth, especially in the Bakugo area. You can tell how much Deku has grown as a character compared to season 1. Deku used to be one of my least favorites, but now he is one of my favorites along with Mr. Aizawa.

Okay, I am probably going to be killed because of this, but, I don't get why so many people like this show. It's just pretty average. A generic plot "kids go to school to learn how to use superpowers." I just don't get it, there are plenty of better shows out there, even some shows that take this same concept and do it even better. One show I can think of off the top of my head is One Punch Man, it's much funnier, better animation, better characters, better music, better story (that doesn't take three seasons to start getting good.) just go watch that. ... Now on to the review. Sorry if it upsets you. (not really) (by the way, my thoughts on this season cover my thoughts on season one, and two, as well.)

Story/4: I have seen slice of life anime with better story than this. Isn't it funny how it takes THREE seasons for them to introduce the main villain? Isn't it funny how it takes THREE seasons to learn anything important about the main powers in the series? Isn't it funny how it takes THREE seasons for anything interesting to happen? The story sucks to say the least.

Art/7: This and the music are the only thing I liked about the show. The animation is pretty above average, but I must admit the character designs are okay.

Sound/7: I have to admit all of the openings thus far, have been pretty amazing. The tracks are also amazing, I do not know what else to say, except, the music is pretty good.

Characters/5: I feel this is the most overrated part of the show. You have all the generic stereotypes, The pervert, the crybaby protag that can't do anything right, and has a bad character arc, the toxic/mean guy that would be terrible in real life but people still really like him, the edgy/mysterious guy that all the girls online love, The rich girl, the hyper-focused guy that won't let anyone disobey the rules, the wholesome girl, and a whole cast of characters who have the same copy paste personality that you have seen a million times. The only thing I like about the characters is their designs, that's the only way I could ever remember who they were.

Enjoyment/5: I didn't like the show, it just feels like I've seen the same thing a million times. I think the manga is better, but no one reads that. Here is one more thing that I couldn't fit anywhere else. The fanbase is horrible. If you criticize the show even a little, they will rain their wrath upon you. If you happen to ship Deku, and Ochako, instead of Deku and Todaroki they will hunt you down and rip out your intestines. And don't get me started on all of the AU's. Full of a bunch of teens that get really aggressive about shipping fictional teens, and will literally kill you if you say one bad thing about the show, this fanbase is one of the worst ones I have seen yet. This is something that has brought the show down in my eyes.

Remember, this is my subjective opinion of the show, it's okay if you like the show, I couldn't care less. These are just my thoughts.

Just... Why the hell have we to see those giant signs every damn chapter when a character appears???? It's the 3rd season, you see? We know Deku, Ochako, Bakugo, etc. Ofc we know them. I hate that.

The mood just slows down everytime you see the damn signs. It's just not right.

I hope it's not happening again in the 4rd season.

The season is fine besides the signs. Some character development (Bakugo, Todoroki, All Might...) and the story stills going on.

The second ending is horrible. Soo bad drawn.

I don't know how much do I have to write so MAL accept my review. I just came ... here to say the issue of the signs, omg.

Leading up to season 3, I thoroughly enjoyed MHA. It was a unique take on high school life and had characters I could relate to as a high school student. However, season 3 to me just seems sort of just there.

Season 1 and 2 I was consistently watching these episodes, I wanted to know what would happen next. But after this point, I found something that just destroys that feeling. I could somewhat enjoy season 3. But if I dropped the series I would not care.

There were truly amazing parts but, the bad outweighs the good. I will eventually pick up on season 4 ... to see if the series has improved but season 3 has made me wary of watching season 4.

Reviews if you don't have time.
*SPOILER-FREE*

If there was a show that could be considered one of the Modern Shounen Greats, that show is “My Hero Academia”. As probably the biggest mainstream hit, other than “Demon Slayer”, it is a manga adaptation with studio Bones in charge of the animation.

Animation wise, “My Hero Academia” really hit it out of the park, the fights were absolutely amazing, the powers and their interaction with each other and the surroundings was really creative and enjoyable to watch, and the climax moments were as good as one can ask for (also due ... to the amazing music and soundtracks that really took the fights to the next level). The wide variety of characters and powers with the vivid and bright colours really made it stood out. The world was well designed as were the backgrounds and places throughout the seasons.

However, despite the amazing characters and animation, “My Hero Academia” ends up falling in a lot of tropes and stereotypes that make it lose that sense of uniqueness that other shows might have. The plot is good, especially the anti-hero ‘Stain’ arc but in many other moments and plot points it was pretty much a power of friendship, good defeats evil kind of narrative, which I’m not saying it is bad, since it appeals to a very big audience, but not my type of tea.

Overall, “My Hero Academia” is an amazing show and what a true Shounen is at his best, it does not have the best written story or characters, but it makes up for that in awesome action scenes and fights.

I believe that I am not really in the mood for shounen when I watched this series. This season is still very much like the previous season, with less of things I can nitpick on. The story is not that grand, but it's passable. The art and sound are mediocre. There are some characters that I actually like since the first season, and there are a few that I've appreciated in this season.

First thing to pick on are some missed chances that could've made changes in the trends of shounen. The concept of heroes and what makes one is heavily tackled on the first. I ... like how they've highlighted realistic repercussions of being a hero in society, specifically in a hero's close relations. Being a hero is a noble undertaking. Heroes are selfless when they risk their lives to do their jobs, regardless of their motivation of becoming a hero. They are involved in lots of sacrifices, this is because they are vulnerable. And because they do selfless acts, they are also selfish towards the people who do not want them to be selfless. This is very apparent in Kota's family. Kota's reaction and hate towards this kind of system in society is very realistic. Heroes are selfish if they prioritize their duties as a hero over their duties as a parent (Kota's parents) or as one's child (Deku and his Mom). I really liked the ambiguity of this situation (to be selfless for society but be selfish for your family), but this is a missed opportunity. The way they've resolved this was somehow disappointing. For Kota's case, the answer they've come up is Kota must experience saving to appreciate heroes. That's noble too, but the question still stands that heroes still have a responsibility for their family. For Deku, this is still a developing case. Her mother worried for her son's safety, but she also wants him to be happy. Deku still has to bring about becoming a hero without making his mother worry.

Another thing to pick on is the recurring of Stain's vision. Villains who keep on praising Stain are really weird and hypocritical. They keep talking about true heroes and that a lot of heroes are fakes; this is nonsense when they themselves do villainous acts. They're not compelling, they should just be like All For One who is clearly aiming for power. I like how Bakugo just straight up said what I felt about the villains. Honestly, they're trying too hard to be compelling about their ideals that don't match with their behavior. Their circumstance is understandable, but their intentions are very muddy.
It may be that he is simple-minded (albeit, smart enough for battle tactics) that he resists joining the villains.

One thing I'd like to praise is Iida's development. Rules or Principles. Iida, since the first season, is shown to be very diligent, in acts and his very body language. The one time he was driven by his emotions, he has foregone his strict adherence to rules and follow on what he believes are his principles to serve justice for his brother. Things did not go as he planned, and although things went well, and he suffered the consequences. Since then he has been conflicted to what actions he must take. Iida's objection to Kirishima and Todoroki's plan are manifestations of his development. He is now finding the balance to the rules of society and the principles of heroism. I really like how they've handled his character.

For the other characters, I like their new skills and all. But I've come to appreciate Sero more (I used to just call him Tape man). He's underrated, but he is actually adaptable to most situations. Mineta is still useless and still despicable. Invisible girl is still an unfunny decoration to this series. There are still unnecessary and degrading fan service to the female cast.

The fight scenes are enjoyable, but All Might and the other heroes' entrance (and the villains' as well) is dazzlingly unforgettable.

I'm looking forward to the next season.

This season fucking sucked. Boring asf. Same shit over and over again. All For One was such a shit villain. Fuck this shit. So repetitive.

The music is amazing as usual. The characters are still great. If you want more My Hero Academia just watch the movie or rewatch season 1 and 2. IN FACT you could probably skip this season entirely and just watch a recap or something cuz this was soooo boring.

Thats basically all I have to say about this show. I hope it gets better but it just feels like its lost all its momentum. The pacing in season 1 and 2 was ... so good. There is nothing to really get excited about.

Enjoyment took a drop in this season, with some arcs being downright boring and unmemorable.

Provisional license arc was a pain to sit through. First forest arc was ok, but didn't make me very engaged. What made this still somewhat enjoyable were the All Might vs All for One fight which was quite epic, but ultimately still not enough to make me enjoy this season as much as the others, and the Bakugo vs Midoriya fight, which was actually pretty good. Story issues start to show at this point, most notably how little the story actually progresses.

Deku starts being rather boring really fast. He hasn't ... grown much since season 2, and he still remains the exact same other than some very minor changes. His emotional scenes no longer hit once you realise that fact. Todoroki, which had much potential in season 2, also barely involves himself in the story, which is a pity considering the legwork done to develop him in season 2. We get to know more about Bakugo, however he still does come off as unlikable, at least for me. All For One is rather boring as a villain too.

Fights are still as pretty as ever, however when Deku fights it's rather boring since you can expect what moves he'll use. Or when All Might fights for that matter, it's not Studio Bones' fault but rather how their powers work. It's at this point when viewers realise how much repeated punching with emotional shouting they can stomach. Deku's powers just aren't creative enough. Soundtrack still a banger tho.

Overall, definitely a drop from season 2, but still watchable.

My Hero Academia's third season is pretty fun. If you split this into two halves, the first half is way more powerful than the second half. In fact, I'm starting to realize that this show will porbably focus hard on the academic nature of being a hero rather than showing too many heroic feats, which is probably fine. I'm still here for it.

When this show gets awesome, it gets really awesome, but wouldn't it be awesome if it was always awesome? The first half of this season is really cool, showing us really stressful stakes and characters reaching their peak. The second half of the ... season feels kind of slice-of-lifey, focusing on character relationships, despite all the action that is presented on its face.

Season 3 is not bad. The art style looks clean, and it can look really cool during the epic moments. I think it's easy to enjoy this season if you're a MHA superfan, but it's not peak anime.

This review will cover the first three seasons of My Hero Academia

NO SPOILERS

My Hero Academia is easily one of the most overrated series of all time and it also hosts a horrible fan base that ships everything and everyone with each other. For instance, All Might x Mineta, Deku x Bakugo and many more outlandish ones. The story isn't even all that good as well, it's just a basic and run-of-the-mill shounen that has zero depth or meaning. "Oh, I wanna be the best hero there is!" is super similar to most shounen protagonist's objectives like Naruto, One Piece, Black Clover and many more. Moreover, ... the art and sound are a bit underwhelming for an anime that has a huge fan base. I expected a lot and just wasted my time.
