The first season of My Hero Academia was slow and lacking in a lot of ways, but the manga going forward got exponentially better. I can't wait to see the Hero Killer make his appearance. It was one one of the most intense moments of character devleopment and combat until the villain assault on the training camp.

Don't look at the second spoiler unless you are reasonably ahead in the manga. If you're up to date though, it's not all that far plot wise from the first spoiler.

No worries, I read the manga weekly, so I'm all caught up. Appreciate the warning though.

The story does get exponentially better, even if I liked the first season a lot. If I had to describe it...I'd say the story follows a Shounen Jump template initally, and started to feel more original when the manga became well established. The Hero Killer arc is probably the point where I'd say it truly feels like something special and original. Bringing a hero fundamentalist into the story does a great job blurring the good vs. evil dynamic the story starts with.

My personal favorite point in the series won't be adapted for a long time, as it was only about a year ago in the manga. Just gonna cross my fingers this season does well enough that it'll reach that point.
