    The premise for this show--a setting where people who have superpowers (in this series called "Quirks" of varying strength and utility) are commonplace--has been done before probably more times than I know, but there's an interesting twist: main character Izuku is an anomaly in the show's mythos, who was born without any innate Quirk, yet grew up with a fierce desire to be a superhero and protect people. When Izuku commits a serious act of bravery and heroism, a legendary Hero is inspired to pass on his Quirk to him. So there's this theme of trying to prove oneself with a gift that was earned, rather than inherited at birth. Where the show really, really shines is the art and animation. It's stunning. It's a far cry from a lot of series where all the characters look the same but with different eye colors and hair styles. Each one of them is very visually distinct, and I'm a sucker for great character art. It's pretty trope-y, but still an enjoyable, action-packed anime.
