Shonen genre has always either received a lot of love or hate, which ever camp you belong to this is an anime which will resonate well with everyone alike.

STORY:
First season introduces us to Deku, All Might, and majority of the students of class 1-A. Though it majorly focuses mostly on deku and All Might. The story might feel like a cliche shonen story where the MC dreams to become the strongest in the world or like his role model(here it’s “All Might”) but that is where all the cliches end, the way character motivations and the overall plot are handled is refreshing while still maintaining ... all the major parts which have made this genre so popular.
Bones has nailed the pacing, I haven’t read the manga but from what I’ve heard it is a very faithful adaptation of the manga.

ART:
If you look up the character designs for the manga and compare it to the anime designs you’ll be hard pressed to find any difference. Though it is very different from your generic designs and might require to get used to it but once you get used to it you’ll fall in love with them.
Animation is top notch as expected by Bones. I haven’t noticed any drops in the animation, but there might be a few if you go looking for it with a magnifying glass.

SOUND:
OP and ED are very good and memorable, especially the ED.
The thing which stood out the most in the sound department is the OST. Apart from being epic on its own, the OST was utilised well giving those epic chill down the spine moments. Though it is overused, I prefer quality over quantity.

CHARACTER:
It is this department which kinda felt lacking (at least for the first season) as we are introduced to multitude of charcters but the story focused only on deku, All Might and a little of Bakugō. This is kinda expected with limited 13 episode run, but what we got is more than enough, the character motivations and development were handled really well.
The characters are the main USP for this show and the story handles them with respect. Every character introduced has a motive and required for the advancement of the plot without them being there for the sake of it.

ENJOYMENT:
I don’t mind incomplete ending as long as the journey to this end is very enjoyable, if the ending is paramount for you, I recommend you wait,as this is a train with its destination still nowhere in sight but tends to take breaks at the stations in between(unlike Naruto and detective Conan). At least it doesn’t have the “GO READ THE MANGA”-ish Cliff hanger ending(for both the seasons). Action and comedy strike a nice balance in keeping this show entertaining. If you are new to anime then nothing is a better gateway than this one. I’ve seen people who hate anime fall in love with this show.
And how can I forget the epic OST, it just heightened the enjoyment of this show

TL;DR:If you are lazy enough to read the review, I recommend you just go and watch this show nevertheless as out of the story,character,art and the epic music this show offers something will definitely catch your interest
