Overview:
It is an action anime with a superpowered-based world where there are heroes and villains and there are schools for those who choose heroes as their future career. It is an interesting story where a high schooler is the main character. He faces many challenges and conquers them every time with the help of his friends, family, rivals and teacher.

Plot: 
Some time ago a child in China was born whose body glowed. Since that day many incidents like that started to show up all around the world. The world went through great changes and soon the supernatural became normal. These supernatural powers were first called “meta ability” but later on, came to be called “quirks”. The main character's name is Izuku Midoriya. The kids in this world manifest quirks at the age of four. On the day he was supposed to manifest his quirk he was told by the doctor that he was quirkless. After his best friend; Katsuki Bakugou, found out he and some of his friends started bullying him, they used their quirk to bully him. After a long time skip he is in his last day of middle school when he got bullied by his ‘best friend’. When he was on his way back to his house he was attacked by a villain who had a quirk where his body was a very murky green water. He was trying to take over his body but then a person comes from the sewers and carters the villain but Izuku faints after a little while he sees standing in front of his idol and Japan's no 1 hero, he asks him if a person could become a hero even if they do not have superpowers or quirks when all might say a person without a quirk could not become a hero because they would die. Saddened by this, he was about to return home when he saw the villain who was captured by All Might. There were some heroes but their quirks were not compatible with the villain’s quirk. He heard that there was a kid who was captured by the villain when that kid (captured by the villain) was Katsuki, his body all of a sudden moved on its own and he tried to save his friend. Unfortunately, he could not but All Might jumps into the scene and saves the two. When Izuku was returning to his house again All Might came to him and turned into his skinny self (non-heroic) and he asked if he wanted to inherit his quirk. Mind that a person can not give or take a quirk and normally a person does not have more than one quirk. He was confused at first but he accepted and soon his journey to become the world's no 1 hero began.

Conclusion:
This anime is really awesome. It has a great storyline and character development as well as great animation. I was sometimes laughing, sometimes sad, sometimes happy. I would sincerely recommend it to anyone.
