Please no Manga Spoilers of any kind, there is a VERY ACTIVE manga thread for that right here (My Hero Academia Manga OT) or the Spring Anime OT.
Studio: BONES (Fullmetal Alchemist, Eureka Seven, Space Dandy)
Based on the Manga by Kōhei Horikoshi published in Weekly Shonen Jump.
In a few words: A boy wants to be a hero but doesn't have any powers while everyone else in the world does.
Midoriya Izuku, a teenage boy in middle school, lives in a world where superpowers and abilities, known as "quirks", have become commonplace and are an active part of society. Midoriya too wants to become a hero and help people, but he is one of the very rare cases who lack superpowers. Not one to give up, he still wants to join the best academy for aspiring Superheroes, Yuuei Academy, and use his knowledge to
be the best hero he can possibly be.
Why should you watch it?
If you liked Shonen series like Katekyo Hitman Reborn, One Piece, Hunter x Hunter and early Naruto, chances are you will really like this series.This is a show that is not afraid to go in unexpected directions with its characters and features something that is extremely rare nowadays: A smart shonen protagonist that is both endearing and relatable, while featuring a big cast of characters with colorful and well formed personalities that bounce out of each other.

Rules and Suggestions
1) Manga Spoilers should go to the Manga Thread (Click here) and are heavily discouraged in the Anime thread, if you have the need to discuss manga spoilers in relation to the anime, be sure to spoiler tag them AND mention they are manga spoilers. A good Hero is always mindful of others.
2) Everything aired is fair game and there is no need to spoiler tag it. If you haven't watched the most recent episode yet, avoid this thread until then. A good Hero is always well informed.
3) Avoid sexually explicit pictures, remember some of us are at work or with grandma. If its something you wouldn't show grandma, you really should consider not sharing it here. A good Hero is always looking out for his peers.
4) Do not link to any sites where you can watch the show unofficially and also do not discuss anything related to said sites. This is basic NeoGAF ToS, sames as scans. A good Hero always upholds the law.
