Top 5 Anime Similar To My Hero Academia 

Little Witch Academia

Other than also having Academia in its title, this series shares a lot in common with My Hero Academia. In fact, in another world Akko and Deku would probably be best friends. The series follows Akko, a young girl eager to become a witch, who joins the Little Witch Academy despite not having any magical powers. Much like Deku, she manages to procure some magical powers by stroke of luck, and continues training at the Academy in hopes of becoming as powerful as her idol, Shiny Chariot, one day.

Assassination Classroom

If you’re looking for something a little less cute and more deadly check out Assassination Classroom. A punchy and twisted anime about an octopus-like teacher who goes rogue and destroys 70% of the moon, putting Earth in jeopardy. The series follows a group of misfit students who are tasked with killing him by the end of year to save Earth from ending, and offered a greedy ¥10 billion bounty for succeeding.

Haikyu!!

While Haikyu!! doesn’t have any heroes, or end of the world battle sequences, it does still share a lot in common with My Hero Academia. Both shows center around an underdog teenage boy as the main protagonist who, despite all odds, manages to rise through the ranks to achieve greatness in his chosen field. Haikyu!! is also widely regarded as one of the most beloved sports anime of all time.

Black Clover

Asta, a young magic-less orphan boy with a dream of becoming the Wizard King, gets a chance to turn his dream into reality with the help of a mysterious grimoire. Although Black Clover doesn’t have any high-school elements, the series shares the same trope of being the only person born without any magical powers, and procuring them somehow later in life.

Fairy Tail

If you’re looking for something as colourful and fun as My Hero Academia, you should check out Fairy Tail. The anime series stars a full crew of magical characters led by Natsu, a fiery young mage who along with his friends takes on dangerous missions, battles dark forces, and forms unbreakable bonds of friendship.
