"If you ever wondered "what if Rock Lee was a Gary Stu?" this anime is the result of that. The series begins and we are introduced to a protagonist who is noble but is a victim of bullying, lacks friends, and is unable to fulfill his greatest dream, all due to his lack of a "quirk." However, the series waits no time until giving him the best power in the series, along with personal mentorship from the most powerful hero and a group of friends. This is because the most powerful hero took notice of him to be his successor due to a random act
...
of kindness he witnessed. If My Hero Academia were a poem or a much more symbolic series, this detail could be overlooked, but that is not the case, as the series straightforwardly establishes that the greatest power of all was passed on by such a mundane act as the one shown to us. Looking beyond the protagonist, things are not particularly better. The secondary characters are characterized by just one trait with very few exceptions; throughout the series, only 2 villains are introduced, one being a personality-less monster, while the other seems to be the final villain, yet the series fails to address this character at all.
The animation, direction, and music are quite good, but what truly stands out, in my opinion, are the character designs; all characters have a very distinctive and interesting facial or body structure. However, these achievements are not significant enough to compensate for the plot and characters, which at best are mediocre. "If it is that bad why is muxed feelings?" well, if you are the kind of people that can turn-off his brain and only think about flashy things happening in the screen you may like it
