If there was ever an anime equivalent to Harry Potter, it would be My Hero Academia. Featuring a large world filled with lovable characters, this endearing series follows a young boy's journey to becoming the greatest superhero in the world, his quest taking him to UA High, a school for young heroes.

Quickly amassing one of the biggest followings of any anime currently on TV, My Hero Academia is easily one of the most accessible shows the medium has ever produced. Whether it's the fun world, the striking style or its wicked sense of humour, this popular series is a must watch for both anime superfans and non-believers alike.

However, what works best about this coming of age superhero series is the writer's insistence on fleshing out each and every character's unique personality and backstory, leaving the show consistently engaging through naturally built investment in the central cast. No matter if they're competing in deadly sports festivals, getting into badass superhero throwdowns or heading off to summer camp, there's hardly ever a dull moment in the lives of class 1-A.

If you're looking for a show that's fast-paced, action-packed and explosively fun, you'd be wise to jump aboard My Hero Academia as soon as possible - especially when you consider the fact season 3 is underway right now.
