…It’s not too bad after all. Nothing groundbreaking, but okay for what it is.
I think if you liked it and wanted a little more mature approach you have some good options to go to from here whether that’s Samurai Flamenco or Tiger & Bunny. Not that into superheroes, so there’s undoubtedly more, but those are a couple others I’d checked out before getting around to MHA.
I enjoyed the first season, but I quickly dropped the second in favor of reading the manga. The art is better, and the trudging pace of the story in the anime is much faster.
How do you go about following manga btw? Physical copies, or can you buy them digitally now? I used to try to follow some manga with physical copies, but for long-running series that got silly, and libraries around me only carried a few older volumes if they carried any.
(I know of other ways to get them fwiw, but a quick glance at the terms for this instance says not to discuss those, so let’s not get into them 😅 )
My local library does carry a shit-ton of series. Back during my conscription the garrison library stocked several dozen series too, that I devoured in the boredom of hurrying up and waiting.
You can get digital releases, too, I’ve read a lot of manga on an e-reader. First on a Kobo, now on a Android based Likebook device which I can use any app on for accessing manga that I like.
Kindle has tons, and for series that only exist in English thanks to fan translations, reading from mangadex using tachiyomi is fantastic.

I enjoyed seasons 1-4, but it definitely didn’t stay as good throughout. Then season 5 started with a drawn out high school battle with no actual stakes and I dropped it. Being involved in high stake events and then suddenly going back to school to fight other teenagers for school for way too many episodes just was so uninteresting and jarring. I dropped it during that bit.

Aah, I’m only in the midst of season 4 right now, and I’m not sure if what I’m watching it through goes to season 5 or not. I’m only now realizing this series is still ongoing, so I may stop after season 4, particularly if that’s all that’s available anyway. 😄
