I have to disagree with the people who calls this fun anime series an "X-men rip-off": Outside a somewhat similar premise, everything else (Characters, themes, plot development, visual style and the overall message from both works) are completely different: While X-men is more an allegory against intolerance, My Hero Academia is more about perseverance and improving oneself despite hardship.

And both works are good, but in a completely different manner.

Also despite both shows having superheroes, the aesthetic and sensibilities from My Hero Academia are closer to shonen archetypes: If anything, this series is closer to Naruto than X-Men, but honestly I prefer I enjoyed this series more, despite the typical cliches from the genre, because I found it entertaining and well-animated. Hope the second season doesn't disappoint my expectations.
