Some may argue that the superhero genre is oversaturated. With the various Marvel films and shows in production, the different DC titles, and other shows like The Boys and Umbrella Academy, it’s hard not to agree. However, My Hero Academia has glided through the ranks not only as a fantastic anime show but a worthy addition to the superhero genre.

Welcome back to another anime recommendation. I’m having a lot of fun doing these. However, revisiting some of my favourite shows has increased my desire to rewatch them… and there are only so many hours in a day. This one is a big one.

I have decided to start a short feature dedicated to anime. It’s a worldwide phenomenon and it wiggled its way into my life and became a wonderful… addiction. So what I wanted to do was create a space where I could offer anime fans and even new fans recommendations. With this I’ll be able to talk about the shows that I love and hopefully convince you to watch them or, if you have seen them, open up a dialogue where we can discuss our passion.
