Both are hero animes and while One Punch Man is already strong, the character around him are similar to those in Boku no Hero Academia. They both feature a lot of different heroes and their daily struggle. One Punch Man is a little darker in tone and if you want a strong protagonist from the get-go, try saiki kusuo no Ψ-nan or psycho mob 100 !

The main protagonist from each series Naruto (Naruto) and Midoriya (BnHA) share a weakling persona in the world that they live in. They also share a dream reaching the top of their respective societies (Hokage for Naruto and #1 Hero for Mirdoriy). Each protagonist is also paired with a much more gifted and talented rival. The setting are very different but both series revolve around students gaining the proper training, experience, and licensing needed to become a professional in their respective worlds (Ninjas in Naruto and Heroes in BnHA).

Both are similar in that they both feature a class taught by an outstanding teacher (All Might/Koro-sensei) with an objective goal in mind. In My Hero Academia, it's all about becoming heroes. In Assassination Classroom, it's all about becoming assassins. Even the main characters are similar: Nagisa and Izuku both wanting to aspire to be like their teachers, violent geniuses Karma and Bakugou, and the cheerful, hardworking Kayano and Uraraka.

A world in which superheroes are our daily routine and the idea of them has somewhat been "commercialized": this is the first thing that triggers Tiger & Bunny in your memory while watching Boku no Hero Academia. No worries, they are definitely NOT the same thing but still share some mentionable points in common that might lead you to decide to watch them: - The thrilling and captivating concept of super powers will always create heroes and villains but it's always interesting to see how this will be played out, what ideas will be poured into it and what circumstances and consequences will come from it;  read more

Both main characters are kind, sensitive, intelligent and with their own little quirks. Super power and a super sensitive nose. Both Tanjiro and Midoryia have a trainer (Urokodaki and All Might), they go through lots of hardships in early year, but have decent development and become stronger.

These are quite different shows tonally, so the enjoyment of both shows would mainly rely on one's enjoyment of watching high school kids using super powers. These shows both are set in a high school full of super-powered teens. It's always entertaining to see the different techniques characters use to apply their powers to a situation, and how two or more characters' powers interact with each other. With these powers also comes the theme of the pressure these characters face by being thrust into difficult situations that kids their age in our universe would never have to deal with.

Both newer phenomenon JUMP series. 2 of the 3 manga that were dubbed "JUMP hell trio" alongside the now ended manga Chainsaw Man (although it's anime adaptation will soon join BnHA & JJK and likely be as big a phenomenon!!) Both experts at balancing their darker moments with their more lighthearted humour and lovable characters.

First of all, the main similarities between the two for sure lie in the plot lines.

Both follow successors to some of the strongest characters in their respective universes. Both are high intensity action shonen with plenty of battles, special abilities and power up's.

Even though both anime look and feel different, the main idea behind the two shows are the same. In Food Wars Souma attends a cooking school (Tootsuki Culinary Academy) while Midoriya attends a school that trains heroes (UA High). Both Souma and Midoriya has untapped potential and grows steadily over the course of the series. Just like Souma's wish is to bypass his father, Midoriya wants to be the successor for All Might. Both shows have tournaments and battles and unforgettable side characters.

Both main characters are incredibly similar, almost to a T. They have low self-esteem, are often bullied, when one day a famous figure steps into their life to help them become the person they want to be. Both (a boxer and a hero) will require a great amount of training and combat trials. Ichiro and Todoroki are also relatively similar in personality and how their relationship with the main character unfolds.

These animes give the same type of feelings. Both Midoriya and Endou, who also have a similar personality (they never give up) look up to someone who they want to learn from. They're both giving their all to reach their goal, even though they start with pretty much nothing. Inazuma Eleven and Boku no Hero Academia both involve super moves, although Inazuma Eleven is more sports related and BnHA is more about real hero's. In both animes the characters aim to save the world in some way and they also both involve competition.

Yowamushi and Hero Academia have quite interesting aspects that makes you want to watch them both if you liked one or another. - The main characters have the same voice actor and similar personality (although Deku is a more complex thinker but they are both bit nerdy and honest). - Naruko and Kirishima are basically same characters. Both like red and manliness. It's just fun to see similarities there. - Addition to that both are shounen shows about hardships and overcoming them so if you like stories like that it's a pity if you have not seen one of them.

Government-established elite schools for gifted children with super powers. Perfectly ordinary main characters (reunited with their prodigious childhood friends) without any strenght or specialty - for the first fifteen minutes. Powerful, genius boys with unapproachable personalities. Lots of quirky (pun intended) classmates, unique teachers and comedic antics. Despite being of different demographics, both deal with themes of friendship, bullying, doing good and pursuing goals.

We all have an idol, that someone who pushes us to overcome our weaknesses, like these protagonists, who want to learn. At his side, a veteran, who supported him from the front or back, a cheerful girl with great potential, a boy with inherited abilities with wounds without being erased. Two series where there are unique abilities, powerful rivals, lifelong partners fighting for the same goal and opponents who hide in the shadows.

Both shows have a similar energy. and while Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru (KTF) is a sports anime and Boku no Hero Academia (BHA) is a superpower anime, they both are strong shounen anime. Characters that aren't where they want to be build themselves up. The enjoyment level, the mindset of the characters, and the drive to succeed are common themes while both anime's do it completely separate ways. If you enjoyed the type of character development in KTF, you'll certainly enjoy the adventure and characters in BHA.

The MCs of both shows are able to use powers. They both go to an academy, but that's more relevant in MHA. The power system is far more developed in Railgun as they make more focus on the scientific side and how they can use them. They both fight against "villians". Both have good animation, fights, ost, etc.

A normal guy who loves heroes dreams of becoming a hero and works hard towards achieving that goal. Under the tutelage of his own childhood hero, and surrounded by others who are also working to be heroes, the main character strives towards realizing his childhood dream. BNHA takes more inspiration from American comic book heroes, while Samumenco leans more toward the deconstruction of Japanese hero tropes, such as those common in tokusatsu and sentai series; both are a love letter to superhero stories.

Main characters who like to keep notebooks of everything that interests them? Welcome both of these series! The main characters are therefore both analytical and it's a nice change of pace to a normal Shounen main characters who usually don't like to think at all. Also both these series have nice love interests as well. Although I'd say it's more apparent in Baby Steps. Definitely check out Baby Steps if you like BNHA for those reasons :)

Class. It's a bit more obvious where the orientation that differentiates the two titles lie, however, it goes to be said anyway, MHA and Assault Lily are both titles that understand their premise and use their paramount production skills to make said setting believable in the first place. You want heroes that correlate with 50s/60s type heroes? MHA has got that covered, with its own twist on the entire journey from zero. You want rich posh type ladies in a somewhat magical school with mercenary-like weaponry? Assault Lily's got you covered with Shaft on their side.

Both feature people with superpowers (Genestella for Asterisk and Quirks for MHA) and high school setting (all schools of Asterisk and UA High) with awesome action scenes complete with funny moments. Both English dubs are super awesome. However, Asterisk is more fanservice-y than MHA. Aniplex of America distributes Asterisk while Funimation distributes My Hero Academia.

A real passion. My Hero Academia and Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken has quite similar characters, being, Midoriya and Asakusa. Both characters have gained inspiration from something they have loved, MHA with Midoriya being superheroes. Eizouken with Asakusa being anime.

This is a similar show to My Hero Academia in the sense of the basic feel for the show. When watching this, you will notice that there is not supposed to be a serious atmosphere. This is a comedy in pretty much most senses, there is no danger for the main character because of how OP he is. There are some epic fight scenes, just like My Hero Academia, that make you super hype! And after, and even during some of the fights, they add humor to make you remember that. That there is NO NEED TO FEAR, just ENJOY the epic scene!!

My Hero is a pretty well-known anime, and I feel like everyone has at least heard of it, but when I asked around for recommendations for something like hxh, no one ever mentioned mha. Mha is about a young boy (entering high school) who dreams of being a hero. This is set in a future Japan, where 80% of society has developed a "quirk" or a superpower of sorts.

Believe it or not both series are quite similar in the beginning in terms of how main character acts and feels. In both series the main character at the start of the anime is looked down upon and they were bullied in the past which makes them bit awkward, yet adorable in a sense. After that there is character development in which they gain self confidence. For me it's one of the reasons I like both of these series very much and you might, too!

As they come of age, both of these protagonists learn that the people they've idolized their whole lives, in Deku's case All Might and in Utena's case her prince, are only human and have their own flaws.

Generally what is recommended is sports anime, however I'm going based on the feelings and art style. Blue Lock gave me similar feelings to Boku no Hero. Ego looks like a Boku no Hero character too. So if you want something with some similar feelings, this may be it. Besides that it can be said both have a teenager MC going through a system to become the best at something(Football/Hero). So tournments, tryouts with the pros...

"Wait a minute, why," you're probably thinking. Both have characters in costumes with special supports. Society is on a level where it's commonplace (later in Nanoha's case). Super powers (just missing magic in BnHA). Top class action. Characters fight for the greater good and to get their feelings across. No clear 'bad' side. Both sides have their own valid reasons to fight the other. Catchy phrases. Crazy shipping fan-base. It's hard to find differences in them to be honest, so many aspects are similar.

protagonists different from the standard, who have limited power with and risks using and who depend on their intelligence, it is the world that does not envolve around them and the promise to make a difference heroes and that has the promise is made right away, is a beautiful passage of torch of a character that appears not so long as on the screen (all might x all for one - the whale fight) and transform '' defects '' (different) into qualities. protagonistas diferentes do padrão, que tem poderes limitados e arriscados de usar e que tem que depender da suas inteligencias, é o mundo  read more

Railgun is kind of like My Hero, but with more CGDCT stuff added in, and in a less superpower dense world.

Both share the same base premise: the main character lives in a society where the majority of people have a power, but they themselves don't. The MCs both gain an ability that makes them potentially much more powerful than the people around them, and decide to use their newfound ability for good. From here they diverge, as Hero Academia goes on to focus on Deku's life at hero school, whereas Break Blade follows Rygart as he joins the military.

Both are action and adventure shows with a school setting. Pokemon is more child friendly while My hero Academia is more mature. But both are really similar in terms of setting and basic plot. In both shows the main character lacks a Power everyone else had but later gets that power through the help of someone. Both shows have a large main cast in which only one or two get focus and others get minor episodes.

If you're looking for series with great production values and excellent story, along with pumped-up action sequences, then these two are right for you! The main characters, Academia's Izuku and Symphogear's Hibiki, strive to be heroes and are selfless enough to try to help their enemies' personal and emotional problems at the risk of their own safety. One cannot just help but root them on and follow them on their [worthwhile] hero's journey.

The main characters are pretty similar. Both of them are at a disadvantage, so it's interesting to see how they deal with this in different situations. Not to mention, the both of them are very talented at strategizing and planning their attacks. With this, both of them have jealous rivals. Although, Boku no Hero Academia is definitely better than this series. There is way more character development and tension that just makes you want to keep watching.

Both are shonen battle anime set in a near-future society that is based on a single pop-culture phenomenon (Superheroes for MHA, Gunpla models for GBF). Both are directed by Kenji Nagasaki, so expect the same amount of heart, action, and sense of humor n both. Also, the soundtracks for each are also composed by Yuki Hayashi, so you'll feel pretty pumped up are the songs kick in.

both are starting weak and have character evolve and getting strong to a high level and both getting their powers from someone else

Both are about superheroes In both, we have a protagonist who starts weak and becomes strong Kinnikuman follows like a parody anime, making satire to diverse tokusatsu and animes of heroes and strong protagonists of its time. My Hero Academia is a standard and serious shounen, where situations are given as something really dangerous.

Both anime revolve around people with special abilities. The Toaru series Espers abilities and Magic where Boku no Hero Academia has quirks. Both stories show how people are born with differnt levels of power and for the most part stay that way, but that with dedication one can do things beyond their abilities. Toaru shows a different sort of world that could result of theese ablilities. Instead of having Heros and Villians there's pretty much just villains and a few good guys. In conclusion, if you enjoyed seeing how people with different abilities interact and play their roles from Boku no Hero Academia then you'll  read more

The west. Although MHA and Bebop are two completely different shows. The two anime are heavily inspired by western culture going as far as to even directly reference and use icons from. MHA does this with heroes, and comic styled theme. Bebop does this with Cowboys and culture from an older time. Both are good series with one being for a younger audience, MHA, than the more mature Bebop.
