I’ve been wanting to watch My Hero Academia for a while, but it has a lot of seasons and I’m not sure if it’s complete yet. Should I start watching it from the beginning? Is it worth it?

It has a lot of seasons since the story as a whole completed recently. Im currently mid-rewatch and the animation is still great even early on so it doesn't feel like your watching something old. I atleast, with complete ignorance of the past fandom would recommend it since you can always stop after a few episodes if it doesn't peek your intrest.
watcherr_012025-12-26 12:27
Yes, s4-5 might feel a bit slow but worth the wait for next seasons
Lamnent2025-12-26 12:28
It just completed a few weeks ago.
First few seasons were a real high point, some lows in the middle(Still not bad just not as good) and the last two seasons were amazing, entire last season made every episode pretty memorable.
100% worth watching if you like one dude punching another dude.
LilSopa__2025-12-26 12:28
Do you like action shonens? If you do, then yes.
magnidwarf19002025-12-26 12:28
No
cutechristinaig2025-12-26 12:29
It's a solid 4/10
Altruistic-Farmer2752025-12-26 12:38
Eh? 5.5 maybe?
You know s3 and overhaul arc exists
cutechristinaig2025-12-26 12:39
rate anime based on their overall quality, not peaks or drops
Best_in_Za_Warudo2025-12-26 12:50
No, OP wasn't asking you to rate your taste
cutechristinaig2025-12-26 12:51
niqqa asked if ts was worth watching or not and i said it's a solid -/- what's the problem bruh
Xx420EdgeLord69xX2025-12-26 13:03
You gave an opinion outside of the approved groupthink on reddit. You were always going to get downvoted for that no matter what the topic was.

Absolutely. You also have the pleasure of watching the whole thing without waiting years in between, go for it!

How can anyone else know whether an anime would be worth watching to you?
How is anyone else supposed to know the entertainment value you deem worthwhile? And how can anyone else know whether MHA will meet that standard?
Are you having fun watching it? If yes, keep watching. If not, stop watching.
It really isn't that deep. Watch what you enjoy, don't watch stuff you don't enjoy. And nobody can tell you in advance whether an anime is something you'd enjoy or not. You have to figure that out for yourself by reading reviews, watching clips, and simply watching enough of it.
tomadachi_2025-12-26 12:36
It might have its moments but it gets so boring 🥱
Rude_Tough4852025-12-26 12:38
It's a solid anime with a massive fanbase. I'd say if you're a teenager or a young adult, it's worth it. Beyond that, perhaps not, but depends on your tastes.
NoPickle50682025-12-26 12:40
I would say yes. S1-4 are great. 5-7 are slightly weaker, suffering a bit from the fact that staff power is split to work on the movies, but S8 was good ending to the show.
gesztenyetorta2025-12-26 12:43
It does worth it. The beginning seasons are a different mood than the last seasons though. Not better or worse, just different, but even so good.
I dislike superhero stuffs so I watched it hesitantly, I really did like it.
Holiday_Snow90602025-12-26 12:43
Wasn't worth it for me. A friend of mine sold me on it when it came out, I found it mid as hell from the start but he kept convincing me to give it another shot and that continued until season 4 or 5. I didn't get better, even that dude eventually said he was wrong as he started watching and reading better stuff.
Ponczo1232025-12-26 12:50
I was rewatching my hero academia and was showing it to my friend saying that we need to watch it before my villain academia drops because it's the best arc of my hero academia and then next season came it turned out they changed the arc order for the sake of the filler movie and it has also mediocre graphics at best. At this point I was done with anime
OhScheisse2025-12-26 12:44
It's good. Some episodes have too much recaps so you can skip like the first 5 mins of most episodes
The show is heavily inspired by DC comics, specially Superman. Even the way a story is told.
For example, in a comic book they tell a story across 4-6 comics. The show does the same. So one event may take like 3-5 episodes
Overall I loved it. But I can see why the pacing can be a drawback
nirvash5302025-12-26 12:48
Watch the damn anime.
Also yes, I think it's very much worth it.

Yes it's complete
>Should I start watching it from the beginning?
Where the fuck else would you start it

I think season 1-3 is solid for the most part. There's a lull around season 4-5 that most people(myself included) struggled to make it through. I had quit the first time when I was watching through it as it was coming out. but once season 7 came out I binge watched it from the beginning and it wasn't that bad to get through. IMO seasons 6, 7, and 8 made the trek through season 4 and 5 worth it.
