My Hero Academia on Netflix follows Izuku Midoriya (Deku), a Quirkless kid who inherits the powerful “One For All” quirk from his idol All Might, training at the elite UA High School to become a hero, facing challenges, rivals like Bakugo, and villains like the League of Villains, with seasons focusing on sport festivals, training camp attacks, internships, and larger societal threats as Deku grows stronger.
Kaylee Palmer grade 10th is a Fan of the show I ask Kaylee what she thought about My Hero Academia, expecting something simple maybe talk about her favorite fights and her favorite character. Instead, she paused like she had to think.
She said, “The show hit harder than she expected. Watching Midoriya struggle made her reflect on how real life feels sometimes how people aren’t born confident or strong, they grow into it. She mentioned how the heroes felt human, especially when they failed, and how that made the story feel real instead of perfect.”
I asked her why she kept watching the show, what made her come back to it instead of dropping it like everything else people hype up online.
“It was because the characters didn’t feel fake, so I can relate to the show and watch my favorite character, Midoriya fails and try again,” she said. “Midoriya helps me feel less alone in my own setbacks – like in cheer when I mess up.”
That’s the reason she kept watching. Not for the fights, not for the powers, but for the feeling that growth was possible.
Why Nygeria grade 8th think becoming a hero isn’t worth the danger?
So, I spoke to Nygeria she a big fan of anime and I asked her, what’s her opinion on My Hero Academia?
Nygeria said she doesn’t fully agree with the idea of putting yourself in danger to become a hero. “The show is exciting, but it also glorifies people putting other people in danger. Risking your life everyday wasn’t bravery. It was something that’s pushed onto people without thinking about the consequences.”
So why doesn’t she think hero work is admirable at all?
“Being a hero shouldn’t mean losing your safety, your peace or future. The show sends a message to people that pain is necessary to be valuable, and I don’t agree,” she said.
For Nygeria, survival mattered just as much as courage, and she don’t think anyone should put their life on the line just to prove their worth.

Why should viewers watch the show?
After watching My Hero Academia and listening to different opinions, I think the show is more than just an action anime. It shows how becoming a hero takes hard work, sacrifice, and responsibility; not just having a strong quirk.
I like how the characters struggle and grow over time because it makes them feel realistic. At the same time, the show also made me think about how dangerous hero work really is, especially for students who are still young. Overall, I think My Hero Academia is a good show to watch with plots we can all relate too.
