Note: This is a review of seasons 1-4. At the time I wrote this review that was all that was out. At this time I have lost interest in the series, and likely will not continue it. However, I hope you enjoy the review I have written of the first 4 seasons! Thank you!

Violence: There is fantasy violence with some blood. However, the second season does depict a serial killer, who targets heroes and one is shown badly wounded. The fourth season ups the violence by a lot, and blood is a more regular occurrence. Two villains get their power from consuming blood, though it isn't portrayed in a gross way.

It's a super hero show, so lots of fighting is to be expected, as well as explosions. Only two deaths occur over the course of the series, and both are treated seriously.

Sex and Nudity: There are quite a few revealing outfits, as per the tradition of tight fitting superhero costumes. One girl wears an outfit that shows a lot of cleavage, though there is an in world justification for this, based on her power. At one point, her shirt is ripped off, but she is censored by a bit of steam. This lasts only a few seconds, as her female classmate comes over to censor her. Another female character is invisible, though her clothes aren't. As a result, she's only effective in combat when naked, though obviously nothing is shown.

Some female characters make innuendo-filled jokes. There is a character who is a pervert who makes sexual comments about the girls in their class constantly, though most of the characters don't stand for it. He tries to spy on them in the changing room and the bathhouse, and he gropes one of his classmates. He's punished for all of those endeavors.

The girls are shown nude in the bathhouse, though only briefly and censored by water, steam, and limbs. A female villain is shown with barbie doll type nudity from the top, and patially nude from the back, also censored. This also has to do with her ability. A male character's ability causes him to leave his clothes behind, though nothing is shown. A female character is covered with slime and is said to be nude.

I watched it on Hulu, which apparently censored the scene to make the slime cover her completely like a body suit. There is a brief flashback to the events in a later season, which doesn't censor her as completely (only the essentials are covered).

Theological Themes: None.

Problematic Themes: There is quite a bit of swearing, though nothing is worse than the s-word (which is used maybe twice). This is mainly due to Bakugo's need to address Todoroki and Midoriya by nicknames of his own invention (which involve curse words). Bakugo is foul mouthed in general. All other swearing is done in stressful situations.

Overall: It's enjoyable, though I wouldn't say I'd watch it again. I'd say it's a typical shonen series, though it's insanely popular, especially here in the US, making it one of the biggest series right now. It's actually my first battle shonen, so the first two seasons in particular are really nostalgic for me.

The characters are likable enough, though there are too many of them, and they are somewhat managed poorly, and more and more are constantly introduced. The first season had us thinking that Ochako and Iida would be the Midoriya's friends and rivals, though, after the second season, they were shafted in favor of Todoroki.

I do think the series needs to chill with adding more characters and focus on the heroes they already have. Why must I be invested in Mirio, when he was just added to the cast this season when there are already hundreds of more interesting characters who could easily benefit from the screen time. And don't get me started on the way the female characters are treated.

(We'd be here for a long time if you let me rant about the way the My Hero Academia characters were written, so I had to cut myself off.)

I think the first and second seasons were strong points. It felt like a fun, solid superhero shonen. Season 3 and the first part of season 4 were enjoyable, though not as good as the first two seasons. Looking back, I can barely remember season 3, though. It did have strong plot significance, and I can see it being a favorite.
Season 4 is where the issues started for me. It had some cool ideas and fights, but it fell short. The second half of season 4 was downright annoying, though the last two episodes were awesome. Again, I could go on a rant about how awful the second half of season 4 was, but we aren't going to go there. It was essentially glorified filler with annoying villains.

I liked the music a lot. My favorites were Sora ni Utaeba and ODD FUTURE. I also really enjoyed Datte Ashino Hero, too. The art style is fun and different, though I feel like the animation has been going downhill.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate My Hero Academia. I just don't love it, and I have a lot of issues with the writing. It's a solid battle shonen to start with, and I definitely prefer it to the other battle shonens my brother likes such as One Piece and Naruto, which are definitely not my thing.

My Hero Academia is a solid beginner series, which I'd say is suitable for teenagers and up for the superhero violence and fanservice.
