Anime To Watch After My Hero Academia
Okay, so you've devoured every episode of My Hero Academia. You've cheered for Deku, raged at Bakugo (secretly admired him, let's be honest), and maybe even shed a tear or two. Now what? The anime void looms large, my friend, but fear not!
Embrace the Shonen Spirit!
If you loved MHA for its action, its characters pushing themselves to the limit, and its general sense of "PLUS ULTRA!", then stick with what you know.
Hunter x Hunter (2011)
Think of Hunter x Hunter as My Hero Academia's slightly older, slightly weirder, but equally awesome cousin. Gon Freecss wants to become a Hunter, which is basically a super-powered adventurer. There's tests, friendship, and enough action to make your eyeballs sweat. It is long, but you'll be hooked!
Must Read
Jujutsu Kaisen
Demons? Check. A protagonist with a dark secret? Check. Over-the-top fight scenes that make you question the laws of physics? Triple check! Jujutsu Kaisen is the dark, edgy, but ultimately lovable kid on the block. Satoru Gojo alone is worth the price of admission.
Time for Something Completely Different?
Maybe you want to explore a whole new world of anime! You want to stretch your anime wings and try something that isn't just heroes punching villains.
Spy x Family
Imagine a super spy, an assassin, and a telepathic little girl forced to be a family for the sake of world peace. What could go wrong? Spy x Family is hilarious, heartwarming, and packed with surprisingly good action. Anya is reason enough to watch!
Attack on Titan
Okay, "fun" might not be the first word that comes to mind when you think of Attack on Titan. But if you're looking for a story that's epic, suspenseful, and will keep you guessing until the very end, look no further. Prepare to be emotionally devastated, but in a good way. Trust me (maybe).
Slice-of-Life Goodness
Sometimes, you just need something relaxing and wholesome. No world-ending stakes, no complicated plots, just good vibes.
Kiki's Delivery Service
Studio Ghibli is always a good choice, and Kiki's Delivery Service is a perfect starting point. A young witch sets out on her own to start a delivery service. It is a beautiful story about growing up, finding your place, and the importance of a good black cat.
Aggretsuko
Rage, karaoke and office politics, that is Aggretsuko for you! This is about a red panda who vents her frustrations through death metal karaoke. It's surprisingly relatable (especially if you've ever worked in an office) and endlessly entertaining.
Genre Mashups!
Want something that blends action with a side of cooking? Or maybe a dash of comedy with your fantasy adventure? Anime's got you covered.
Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma
Don't let the premise fool you. Food Wars! is so much more than just cooking. It's a battle anime, but instead of fists, they use knives. The food looks incredible (and sometimes… a little too incredible), and the cooking battles are intense. Just don't watch it on an empty stomach.
Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!
Imagine getting reincarnated into a fantasy world... and being stuck with the most useless party members imaginable. That's the premise of Konosuba. It's a hilarious parody of the isekai genre, and it will have you laughing out loud.
Ultimately, the best anime to watch after My Hero Academia is the one that sparks your interest the most. So go forth, explore, and discover your next anime obsession!
