With equal parts super hero and Naruto, it's no surprise that Kouhei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia got an anime, which is by all appearances the next big Shonen Jump adaption. Good on Horikoshi, rebounding after his short-lived Barrage. Also endearing is Horikoshi's enthusiasm for for other popular media, expressed with amazing fanart on his Pixiv page. Now that My Hero Academia's anime is running, it's worth taking another look at that art.
