Liam Y @LiamBYoung Jun 1 This was a very good first season I loved everything about it from the action to the characters to the story.I loved the idea of how getting you're Quirk either at birth or as a young child.I loved UA and getting to see a bit of an introduction to it.I love Izuku Midoriya as a character a lot and seeing the motivation and drive he had for wanting to be a hero even though he originally did not have a Quirk until All Might came along. overall this is worth watching. See more Gabe K. @GabeK May 22 Not as good as the other seasons but still deserves 5 stars with the story being easy enough to follow with the voice acting being good and the animation amazing See more D3Z 1 @RT51637195 May 21 The first season to My Hero Academia is off to a decent start which had plenty of moments especially for Izuku Midoriya who had shown great character development and growth as the episodes went on. See more Nome C @Gustave Mar 31 Meio estranho que a comunidade fique dizendo que o Bakugou e o Midorya sejam um casal já que APENAS no primeiro episodio o Bakugou ataca e incentiva e Midorya a se matar O maior trauma do Bakugou é um amigo ajudando ele a se levantar See more Yvette. P. @skeletonbones Dec 19 it was fantastic I love it. See more Godspeed I @Godspeed Dec 8 It’s a first season your not gonna expect much but still end up having a lot of good scenes here and there See more Read all reviews
