    Best anime of 2016

    After exhausting all Naruto, one piece and bleach episodes, I was scrolling through similar anime when I stumbled on a 'certain my hero academia'

    It sounded like another boring high school anime and the first 10 minutes of episode 1 did not look very convincing which prompted me to shut it off and keep searching for other shows. However, something kept gnawing away at my soul that wanted me to find out what happens next and 2 days later I continued to watch the first episode. By the time it ended episode 2 couldn't wait and subsequent episodes became too tantalizing I couldn't wait. This show starts slow but if you can just have a little patience and get to the 2nd or 3rd episode it just accelerates into a deluge of excitement.

    Season 2 can't come early enough.

    Two words: enjoyment & amazing!

    I won't go in to detail explaining why this anime is incredible. After seeing 'one punch man' i wanted to find a new fresh anime to watch. I was very skeptical on finding one that has the same quality as One Punch man... BUT damn was i wrong.. After watching episode 12 of Boku no hero academia i was Mind Blown... Seriously i even watched it a second time just to experience that final moment!

    The way they use the soundtrack in each scene shows how incredibly talented and passionate the creators are. This is what i call Anime! Freakin unbelievable how they managed to create a fresh anime with so much originality and epicness 'again'. People you have to understand that it takes a genius mind to be able to create something this good... episode 12 just proved that!

    All i can say is that this anime has the potential to go PLUS ULTRA and beyond!

    Watch it and you won't regret it!

    9.5/10

    War arc hype

    I'm ready for the next arc, I'm prepared for what's gonna happen. I had some doubts with censorship but with certain episodes, if you watched you know what I'm taking about, I think they're gonna show it all in it's full glory.

    I have faith BONES, please make the war arc what I know it can be 🙏🙏🙏

    Awesome Anime

    I only started to watch this anime because of good reviews i saw on the net, and being naruto fan i never thought this anime could get any better than naruto,the initial intention was to only watch 2 episodes and before you know it i was already finishing episode 8!! The anime starts with a good phase and a solid background story of the character, after that it takes off and every end of an episode will make you want to watch the next right away. Good story with a nice blend of action & comedy involving the character.

    Definitely will recommend to all the action and fast paced anime lovers out there.

    To me, it's a masterpiece

    It was the time I was really depressed. I was scrolling through Netflix recommendations and I accidentally found this anime. Before this, I watched death note and one punch man but I didn't get connected that much to both of them. I just wanted to watch just one episode to know how it would look like and after episode one, I ended up watching the whole anime. Now I'm a big fan of this anime. This cured my depression and gave me the motivation to move forward. The main character Izuku Midoriya hit me very hard. Whenever I feel depressed or feel like I couldn't make it, I remember Izuku Midoriya then some kind of energy rushes through my body - I connected to that character that much. Thank you so much for giving us this anime. Thank you Midoriya 💚 Plus Ultra!!!
