My Hero Academia (2016– )
10/10
Great blend of coming of age elements, humor and action
10 January 2022
My Hero Academia (2016) is a series my daughter and I watch together on Hulu (we are through 4 seasons so far). The storyline follows a world full of people who are blessed with "quirks." Not everyone has them, but once you discover you have them you can apply to schools who help you hone them in and use them for good. One boy who was born without a quirk one day is a hero and saves a friend and is determined by a hero he should have powers. It's his lucky day that this hero has to will his quirk to someone else as part of his power and he wills it to the boy. The boy applies to the most prestigious hero academy and gets in. This series follows his journey in the school.

The storyline for this series is fairly clever, unique and well done. The characters are excellent and you find yourself excited to discover their powers and watch them evolve over time. There is a good blend of coming of age elements, humor and action in this series. The action sequences are excellent, unpredictable and unique in a lot of ways. As the seasons progress they also do a great job of establishing more characters and villains as the universe expands.

Overall the series is very well done and worth a viewing. I would score this a 9.5/10 and strongly recommend it.
