This show is cute for kids but it's a far cry from any of the best fighting based anime. Deku, the main, is like a weeabo's wet dream come to life. Devoid of any personality or talent besides an off-putting desire to be the best hero in the world, he screams and whines his way through confrontation after confrontation. We're a far cry from Gon's naive hunt for his father, or even young Naruto coming to grips with a demon inside him. I'd rather watch obnoxious Natsu rant about dragons than listen to Deku chastise his classmates once more for not being line toeing goody-two-shoes.

The animation is fine, but the second series spends its entirety matching up the classmates at a "hero" school to beat the holy hell out of each other. While the world watches instead of the olympics? I don't buy it. Episode after episode devoted to pointless fights whose outcomes are obvious from who has had the most screentime yet. One episode is literally "can this girl run up and touch a guy?" It would be great if the two characters had anything to offer besides predictable plot points involving "my body actually isn't invincible" and "I must do my best because everyone else is." Such excitement is followed by another episode exactly the same except this time they throw in a domestic violence background to try and give more weight to one character's actions. Do these writers just cut pages out of other successful manga and paste them in? A monkey on an iPad with his fingers tapes together could make something more exciting. I can't help but compare this to Hunter x Hunter, wherein the main also had green hair and a desire to be the best. The differences end there, though. Gon, optimistic and dumb, was countered by his smart, pessimistic best friend, a hot-headed idealist and a cool yet barely holding it together non-binary, possibly autistic, spirit of vengeance. He learned and failed, and succeeded in small steps. A similar arc in which Gon travelled to fight the world's best was really an opportunity to open the world of HxH, expose the light to dark, and build a stronger relationship between the two young boys. In My Hero, Deku is a Mary Sue who leaps into any situation without thinking ("how dare bad guys be villainous!" you can almost hear him yell and wring his hands at the man who almost kills his favourite hero). But it's OK, because although he has zero talent, his 2D friends will save him, and take more interest in his snivelling face than their own futures. Yay, teamwork! Japanese cuckolds rejoice!

I'd not recommend it. It's basic, it's simple, but above all else, it's not fun.
