Why It Rocks: When the wave of the “big three” started to die down, My Hero Academia made a big splash in the shonen genre. MHA is as much a celebration of superhero pop culture as it is a critique of it. At the center of it all is its hero, Izuku Midoriya, a boy who inherits the powers of the world’s greatest hero, All Might. The show makes true on its promise made at the start of the series by showing the audience how Midoriya became the world’s strongest hero.
