He's such a shounen.
Before One-Punch Man had time to die down, a work appeared that is almost the exact opposite, although both works are about professional super heroes.
What is this anime? An inexperienced viewer may ask. However, the experienced already understood from the title that in Once again we will see the formation young hero, which will eventually scatter enemies left and right. But for now he is just a little boy who dreams of becoming a hero, without any abilities, but with a burning desire, so vividly depicted by the authors of this anime that even shedding a tear is not a sin (no joke) and of course with an extremely heightened sense of justice. Probably the most positive hero of all the positive and moralized heroes in modern anime. Although we are dealing with shounen standards and templates, everything is done in such a bright, fun and dynamic way that you just want to say: “I liked it.”
If we dig deeper, of course, we can talk about villainous villains, whose motivation is: I’m evil because I’m evil and I will do evil because I’m evil. You can talk about the antagonists of the main character who entered the hero school with him and of course about Kat-chan (more precisely about the incomprehensible relationships, hatred, etc.). We can talk about the underdeveloped romantic line, which was announced almost immediately. We can talk about the unrealism and stupidity of many aspects of this universe. And many other plot flaws that are inherent in this anime, because it is shounen. I repeat: “He’s such a shounen.”
But you know. Probably this is the only representative of its genre, the first season of which I watched with pleasure from beginning to end. And I don’t want to dig deeper and pay attention to any shortcomings. I really liked the main characters. This has to do with both Midoria and Bakugo, and Olmighty. I like minor characters largely. The authors managed to create a number of very likable characters. The anime has a strong atmosphere: I Can Do It. Wonderful jokes and irony fill this series. The sequence of events and actions of the characters is simply pleasing. And most importantly, for me, this anime does not drown in pathos and unnecessary moralizing exclamations and other nonsense to drag out the anime's running time.
Everything is wonderful, fun, dynamic and balanced. Bye. Judging by the slow development of the main character, we have before us the successor to the work of Vanpiece, Naruto and others. One can only hope that My Hero Academia does not quickly slide into the scrap of all the delights of the shounen.
In general, I can call this anime the wine of the season, unexpectedly, but it so happened that other contenders for this title dropped out of the race.
In conclusion: Shonen is such a Senen, I will repeat and add, if only all Shonen were like this.
In the world of Naruto, two years flew by unnoticed. Former newcomers joined the ranks of experienced shinobi at the rank of chunin and jonin. The main characters did not sit still - each became a student of one of the legendary Sannin - the three great ninjas of Konoha. The guy in orange continued his training with the wise but eccentric Jiraiya, gradually ascending to a new level of combat skill. Sakura became the assistant and confidant of the healer Tsunade, the new leader of the Leaf Village. Well, Sasuke, whose pride led to his expulsion from Konoha, entered into a temporary alliance with the sinister Orochimaru, and each believes that they are only using the other for the time being.
The brief respite ended, and events once again rushed with hurricane speed. In Konoha, the seeds of old strife sown by the first Hokage are sprouting again. The mysterious Akatsuki leader has set in motion a plan for world domination. There is turmoil in the Sand Village and neighboring countries, old secrets are resurfacing everywhere, and it is clear that someday the bills will have to be paid. The long-awaited continuation of the manga inspired new life into the series and new hope into the hearts of countless fans!

Yato is a wandering Japanese god in the form of a thin, blue-eyed youth in a tracksuit. In Shintoism, the power of a deity is determined by the number of believers, but our hero has no temple, no priests, all donations fit into a sake bottle. The guy in the neckerchief works as a handyman, painting advertisements on the walls, but things are going very badly. Even the tongue-in-cheek Mayu, who worked as a shinki—Yato’s Sacred Weapon—for many years, left her master. And without weapons, the younger god is no stronger than an ordinary mortal magician; he has to (what a shame!) hide from evil spirits. And who needs such a celestial being anyway?
One day, a pretty high school girl, Hiyori Iki, threw herself under a truck to save some guy in black. It ended badly - the girl did not die, but gained the ability to “leave” her body and walk on the “other side.” Having met Yato there and recognizing the culprit of her troubles, Hiyori convinced the homeless god to heal her, for he himself admitted that no one can live long between worlds. But, having gotten to know each other better, Iki realized that the current Yato did not have enough strength to solve her problem. Well, you need to take matters into your own hands and personally guide the tramp on the right path: first, find a weapon for the unlucky one, then help him earn money, and then, you see, what happens. It’s not for nothing that they say: what a woman wants, God wants!

IN high school Suimei University of Arts has many dormitories, and there is the Sakura apartment building. While hostels have strict rules, everything is possible at Sakura, which is why its local nickname is “madhouse.” Since in art genius and madness are always somewhere nearby, the inhabitants of the “cherry orchard” are talented and interesting guys who are too far out of the “swamp”. Take, for example, the noisy Misaki, who sells her own anime to major studios, her friend and playboy screenwriter Jin, or the reclusive programmer Ryunosuke, who communicates with the world only via the Internet and telephone. Compared to them main character Sorata Kanda is a simpleton who ended up in a “psychiatric hospital” just for... loving cats!
Therefore, Chihiro-sensei, the head of the dormitory, instructed Sorata, as the only sane guest, to meet her cousin Mashiro, who was transferring to their school from distant Britain. The fragile blonde seemed like a real bright angel to Kanda. True, at a party with new neighbors, the guest behaved stiffly and said little, but the newly minted admirer attributed everything to understandable stress and fatigue from the road. Only real stress awaited Sorata in the morning when he went to wake up Mashiro. The hero realized with horror that his new friend - great artist absolutely out of this world, that is, she’s not even able to dress herself! And the insidious Chihiro is right there - from now on, Kanda will forever look after her sister, because the guy has already practiced on cats!

Those who are able to use magic after completing the ninth grade in Japan are now welcome in magic schools - but only if applicants pass the exam. The quota for admission to the First School (Hachioji, Tokyo) is 200 students, the best hundred are enrolled in the first department, the rest are in the reserve, in the second, and teachers are assigned only to the first hundred, “Flowers”. The rest, the “Weeds,” learn on their own. At the same time, there is always an atmosphere of discrimination in the school, because even the forms of both departments are different.
Shiba Tatsuya and Miyuki were born 11 months apart, making them the same year in school. Upon entering the First School, his sister finds himself among the Flowers, and his brother among the Weeds: despite his excellent theoretical knowledge, the practical part is not easy for him.
In general, we are waiting for the study of a mediocre brother and an exemplary sister, as well as their new friends - Chiba Erika, Saijo Leonhart (or just Leo) and Shibata Mizuki - at the school of magic, quantum physics, the Tournament of Nine Schools and much more...

And ahead is the story of Killua and his family, the story of Kurapika’s revenge and, of course, training, new tasks and adventures! The series stopped with Kurapika's revenge... What awaits us next after all these years?
The ghoul race has existed since time immemorial. Its representatives are not at all against people, they even love them - mainly in their raw form. Lovers of human flesh are outwardly indistinguishable from us, strong, fast and tenacious - but there are few of them, so ghouls have developed strict rules for hunting and camouflage, and violators are punished themselves or quietly handed over to fighters against evil spirits. In the age of science, people know about ghouls, but as they say, they are used to it. The authorities do not consider cannibals a threat; moreover, they view them as an ideal basis for creating super-soldiers. Experiments have been going on for a long time...
The main character Ken Kaneki faces a painful search for a new path, because he realized that people and ghouls are similar: they just eat each other in literally, others - figuratively. The truth of life is cruel, it cannot be changed, and the one who does not turn away is strong. And then somehow!
The action takes place in an alternate reality where the existence of demons has long been recognized; V Pacific Ocean there is even an island - “Itogamijima”, where demons are full citizens and have equal rights with people. However, there are also human magicians who hunt them, in particular, vampires. An ordinary Japanese schoolboy named Akatsuki Kojou for some unknown reason turned into a “purebred vampire”, the fourth in number. He begins to be followed by a young girl, Himeraki Yukina, or "blade shaman", who is supposed to monitor Akatsuki and kill him if he gets out of control.
The story tells of a young man named Saitama, who lives in a world ironically similar to ours. He is 25, bald and handsome, and, moreover, so strong that with one blow he can annihilate all dangers to humanity. He is looking for himself on the difficult path of life, simultaneously handing out slaps to monsters and villains.
Now you have to play the game. What kind of game it will be will be decided by roulette. The bet in the game will be your life. After death, people who died at the same time go to Queen Decim, where they have to play a game. But in fact, what is happening to them here is the Heavenly Judgment.
Who are the heroes?
These are people whose names are always heard. At any time of the day or night they come to the rescue and fight the villains.
What does it take to become a hero?
Of course, some unique strength and readiness to come to the aid of everyone.
But does every hero have these two qualities?
In the world of the anime “My Hero Academia”, anyone can become a hero if they receive the appropriate education for this, and the heroic profession itself is the most prestigious. That is why society has created a bunch of heroes, most of whom cannot resist strong opponents, and many truly strong heroes do not care about the fate of people - they became heroes only in search of battles, prestige or power.
But even in such a situation there are real heroes who are ready to risk their lives to save strangers, ready to undergo grueling training for this and become stronger. Who, if not them, will save humanity from destruction?
~beware of spoilers~
1 season
In a world where every person is born with their own unusual ability, called a fad, the ubiquitous appearance of villains and heroes has become common. Heroes in this world are very popular and respected, they are looked up to, even people with the most useless quirks want to imitate them. Well, the birth of a child who did not show any quirk at all has become as rare as the birth of a person with six toes.
Midoriya Izuku, the main character of this story, from an early age admires All Might - the strongest and most reliable hero, whom no one can defeat. Watching his idol and other heroes, Midoriya long ago chose his life path– he dreams of entering the elite academy for heroes UA and fighting evil, just like All Might. But our hero has one flaw - in a world where every person has a quirk, he turned out to be the quirkless exception.
It would seem that since this happened, he needs to put an end to stupid childhood dreams and live an ordinary human life, but the guy does not want to give up and sincerely believes that one day he will become a hero. Nobody believes in Midoriya, everyone laughs at his naive dreams, but one fateful meeting changes everything - Izuku meets his idol All Might and learns his terrible secret: the strongest and invincible hero is losing his powers and is looking for a successor.
In a world where everyone around him tells the guy “You will never become a hero,” only All Might believed in Midoriya, because he has a trait that a hero needs much more than the most powerful quirk. Even realizing all his helplessness, Izuku reflexively rushes at the enemy when he sees that someone is in trouble. That is why All Might undertakes to train Midoriya and is even going to raise his successor from him, because the strongest hero of our time was once a quirkless child himself.
Season 2
Time passes, and the students of the elite UA Academy have managed to gain experience and grow up like heroes. Now they have the opportunity to show the world what they are capable of during a grand tournament.

Some will receive dozens or hundreds of offers, others may not receive any.
Midoriya has already gotten used to his new ability and learned to use it effectively, but he still doesn’t know how to control it. Each use of this force leads to broken limbs, and Izuku has already become a frequent visitor to the hospital office. But if Midoriya decided to become a hero who saves people's lives, he will have to get rid of this annoying side effect. This is what he will do at the end of the tournament. He will have to undergo new grueling training, meet again with the League of Villains and show how much he has grown over the past time.

Thus, Todoroki inherited both the ice quirk and the flame quirk, but due to his dislike for his father, he practically does not use the fire quirk.
Mangaka Kohei Horikoshi, who gave the world the manga “My Hero Academia,” said that its creation was greatly influenced by his love for American comics about superheroes. 
As with most shonen, there are a wide variety of characters here, with their own personalities, their own abilities, and their own stories. Although many have not yet been fully revealed, they have all been thought out and worked out, which means that in the upcoming 3rd season we will most likely be expected to reveal several more heroes.
And so, I think many have noticed that in this manga the author is trying in places to patch up plot holes in the main story. About society, how it works, about the specifics of legal and illegal heroes, and many other little things. BUT! If you read it carefully and draw parallels with the main plot, then there are actually even more holes. Let's start the analysis with chronology:
The time difference is approximately 5-7 years. not more. Several facts indicate this. Iida's brother talk about him as 8-10 years old. Both Earhead and Midnight are already heroes, but not yet teachers. If Midnight is about 30 years old, then the maximum is 7 = 23. That’s about what she looks like. I don’t know if there are any other examples, I can’t remember right away... I’m still inclined to think that the difference is 5 years.
And here we go back to Midoriya Izuku from the main story. As an ardent fan of the heroes, he could not help but hear about the “Vigilantes” (who, in essence, are the heroes of the spin-off), and based on his nature, he is always an overthinking nerd (in in a good way), he had to dig up information no worse than that student. And find out that one of the vigilantes fights with brass knuckles. Whatever you say, I was sure from the very beginning that Knuckles didn’t have Quirk. In addition, Creeping, while he was a “Gentleman,” was essentially doing volunteer work, but even so, rumors circulated about him. And Deku first of all had to think about becoming the same at least! Since Quirk is not there, it’s impossible to help people without him! And then, seeing that Knuckles is just a pumped-up man who knows how to fight, he should get in, if not as a student, then at least just take his example and pump up his body. Even before this spin-off came out, I wondered why, if Deku dreamed of being a hero, he didn't develop a body to at least get a little closer to being a hero. And then, in the incident with the villain-slug, he would have already been: beep: so pumped up, after which he would have immediately received strength from the All-Mighty and look, in 9 months, instead of training his body, he would have already trained Quirk’s control. And if I entered UA, I would have passed with ease! Yes, even if he were later expelled, all that was needed was to become a hero, not the one people need (a symbol of peace) but the hero they deserve! (who wants to be a hero not for money but for the sake of an idea!) And then it would go on public opinion and recognition.
Or maybe not in U.A. Or maybe I wouldn’t have done it at all! So we move on to the next hole:
You don't have to study to become a hero to get a license. Let's remember Gran Torino, according to the plot, it seems that he did not graduate from any institution for training heroes in his youth. He received his license as an adult. Which means there are ways for this! And Iida’s brother opened the door of the secret! You can prove the usefulness of your Quirk and get a job at the Hero Agency as an auxiliary worker and continue to participate in “eliminating the consequences of catching villains” or clearing out rubble, and so on. Having established yourself as a potential hero, take courses through the hero association (I’m sure there are some) and pass the exam to receive a hero license. Again, if there are such workarounds and considering that there is not one or two Hero Schools, then! The fear of expulsion is no longer so strong. After all, the first heroes did not study in such institutions either!
In fact, there is a lot more that could be said, but I’m tired of typing)) Let’s summarize what we have:
My:beep: Academia Illegals is a much more balanced, thoughtful and “living” work than the original source. I hope they will make an anime or movie based on Neligal...
This is where I end my tediousness and say goodbye!
BadDog was broadcasting to you from radio AllianceKustranikov
Let's move on to TV series. This animation is fascinating, although at first I was not eager to expand the course of Japanese dishes into full-length projects. The stories, which were enough for an hour and a half show, fully satisfied the temporary need in this genre. But you can get carried away good script, and when at the most important points The twenty-minute episode ends, then you are greedily eager for more. Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether you are watching a TV series or a feature film, the main thing is interest.
The picture is bright, the animated characters are well-developed, there is no that “Pokemon” style of the 90s, but the limitation of frames per second has an effect, which is why repetitions of the same frames can be seen in different time periods, or the same frame can be shown for several seconds.
We've become accustomed to superhero movies over the years, so the main theme of the series fits in well. In the world, most people have abilities (quirks) that manifest themselves in childhood. Fertility already with an embedded gene mutation is the order of the day. The narration comes from the perspective of the main character Midoriya Izuku, who introduces viewers to the story and, unfortunately, does not fall under the majority. The script perfectly builds life among the heroes, showing the desire to be like them, and sets up an idol that will be a symbol of (peace!)
WITH psychological point point of view, it’s very cool to put an ordinary, untalented boy in an atmosphere of supers. Both villains and heroes are shown, which Midoriya observes while keeping a diary. This combines so well with the stories of already familiar characters from popular American comics that you involuntarily compare story arcs and events.
The boy is inspired by the only one Almighty, who is the embodiment of the World; he can be compared with Superman in strength. The first episodes of the season introduce us to the boy, constantly adding more villains and heroes in cameo moments. But what if An unreal meeting with an idol allows you to make your dreams come true and gives you the opportunity to become a hero yourself. Since this is a long-running series, the disclosure important details it goes slowly so that the viewer feels all the experiences, and the Japanese know how to focus attention on this. Memories about long shots, it is through them that you can feel emotions. The emphasis on the character is accompanied by the absence of a background, there are no decorations, all attention goes to the facial expression.
In a world where you are considered an outcast because you have no powers, the opposite detail in X-Men comes to mind. Such antonyms among a superhero project. The series is about hero academy, so we go to study.
The characters in the class where the main character ended up were well developed. And here the comparison with Harry Potter begins. We are only familiar with the main character, but we are shown a whole school where students will learn to develop their abilities in order to receive a license to perform rescue operations. You don’t know anyone yet, you don’t know their powers, so through lessons we are introduced to new personalities who will become loved ones in the future.
The teachers create such conditions that the kids would have gone to the next world long ago, but this is an anime, and besides, they have an excellent healer. Until the end of the first season, we are shown entrance exams, the abilities of classmates, and my favorite teenage topic. The relationship between the main character and the main class bully, Katsuki Bakugou, is an example of opposing views, childish affection and envy. The class focuses on all the characters, but these two create great character chemistry, showing adolescence, which combined with superpowers plays on the nerves.
Training poses difficult tasks for the hero. There is no focus on school alone; events in the world, where villains unite in a squad, have a direct impact on schoolchildren. Competition in the classroom demonstrates the development of strengths, reveals the weaknesses and strengths of the children and brings the audience closer to the characters. One scene (preparation for battle) can last the entire duration of the episode, thereby bringing to the fore the emotions and thoughts of the participants.
The Season 1 finale showcases a great training session that is suddenly faced with a real threat. After such shots, more comparisons began with Hogwarts, where there were mortal dangers every year. When you have already met all the students, a tournament begins with the teachers, which the whole world is watching. Tournament between academy classes. This is the second stage of disclosure - first between classmates, now between classes.
New heroes no longer press, they don’t crush with their multitude, you are already pleased to watch new quirks. At this stage, young Midoriya demonstrates the qualities of a leader, analyzes the danger and creates excellent allied combinations of the abilities of his classmates. What is typical: the villains also follow the tournament, study the abilities of the guys and draw conclusions. This approach already equates students to heroes: heroes are famous, everyone knows what they are capable of.
New relationships are formed between the guys, some personalities are revealed that influence the hero and the entire plot as a whole. These are teenagers who have their own secrets, which were not in the forefront at the beginning of watching, but now they give you more food for thought, more storylines. After the tournament, the heroes changed, the characters themselves realized their place in the world, the more they became famous. The development of heroes throws them into the real world, where they embark on a course to upgrade their powers.
The anime is perfectly divided by season into the stages of a hero's development. From “dummies” to licensed professionals. You can highlight your favorite details that will develop gradually: abilities, self-acceptance, relationships between students. After 3 seasons, you already become so attached that every little thing interests you. The emphasis on vulgarity here passes through one character, highlighting this point in a comedic way.
This story is not about superheroes who do good, it is about becoming an individual, about accepting yourself for who you are and preparing for adult life. The motives of the villains are well-reasoned, and the intensity of passions reaches heart-warming moments. A good, teenage show, which at first glance does not seem to be what it will become in the future.
