Hunter x Hunter (2011)
Overrated, especially at the end
There's a few arcs in this series I really like; the exam, the yorknew city. But the chimera ant arc is probably the worst arc I've had to experience in terms of pacing in any anime ever. What is happening, we have entire episodes dedicated to a character running around and crying, not even a main character at that. The pacing screeches to such a halt that they drag moments that are minutes to entire half episodes. It's honestly impressive, but it changes this for me from an 8 to a 6. I could barely sit through the arc without falling asleep.
Boku no hîrô akademia (2016)
An almost-perfect shonen execution
There's something that needs to be said about this show.
It does have its flaws, especially with certain story arcs, but the sheer emotion it conveys in it's highest moments make it something to behold.
It's depiction of fights of pure power and ones of more analytical nature are executed to perfection.
Paired with a focus on school life, the show isn't afraid to slow down. Which a lot seem to regard as a bad thing, rather it sets itself apart from the usual Shonen fanfare.
It focuses on the lives of the main characters from an angle that many of us are familiar with, being through school ourselves.
With the series beginning to take a darker turn, I can't wait for what's in store for My Hero Academia.
