Midoriya is, hands down, one of my top five anime protagonists, and the entire 1-A class (as well as their teachers) are one of my top five series casts, ever

There is so much growth and improvement, both physically and character-wise, that takes place in this series, and its not limited to the central protagonist.

also there's so much that makes you forget that Mineta exists

Mineta is the actual worst

But overall it is a great show
