So, I watched the first season.
Here are my thoughts:
- the hero design is absolutely top notch; often quite visibly or conceptually quite innovative. I was sold from the first crowd shot of the protagonist’s classroom and continue to find something noteworthy in any group of heroes or villains.
- the protagonist is kind of the Stock Shonen Hero to the Nth degree, seemingly perpetually on the verge of either tears, crazed defiance, or some mixture of the above.
- his mentor is one of the best takes on Superman that I’ve ever seen, although the hair is out there even by anime standards.
- the worldbuilding is intriguing in many ways, although somewhat limited by the school focus. If 80% of the population have superpowers, they can’t all be superheroing or -villaining. So how have their powers changed the result of modern life?
