Will Be my favourite anime forever
Deku and others so many things I just can't put in words how much they helped to change my character. One more thing this anime taught me tha we should look through everyone's perspective of seeing things . It is worth watching as it shows that why villains and heroes differ cause there is no such things as villains and heroes. Worth watching all the characters are amazing and you can relate each character with yourselves I have already watched it twice and I will be watching it again and again
This final part of 6 season is just wow .what a story it is ! I am so eager that I can binge watch it but I have to wait for a week to get the latest episode.
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.

Izuku's developpement and the cast
Izuku Midoriya is not only my favorite character in the show, but pretty much in any media I've watched. His story is compelling and he's extremely likeable. I love also the more realistic approach they gave his character for the latest seasons, he feels absolutely authentic. I can't wait for the next season to see the rest of his journey. As of the rest of the cast, I pretty much like everyone, there's a lot of characters tho so I gotta admit sometimes some characters maybe lack a bit of screentime, but that doesn't mean they don't have moments to shine. I also find the villains pretty interesting and deep, so if you are into well written villains this show is for you. There's a few filler episodes but I didn't mind them, I like that the show also focuses a lot on the story and the fights all have a meaning and are not just there to put action for action. Overall an amazing show I would highly recommend to anyone into animes or superheroes story in general.
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!!!
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
