Not sure why but Boku no hero reminds me a lot of JoJo's bizarre adventure a lot maybe just cuz they're my 2 fav animes I'm biased but still, I think it's the way the characters use their intelligence and unique use of their powers to outsmart each other instead of it just being who is more powerful like most shonen are (dbz, one piece etc)

maybe you can checkout {Assassination Classroom} ?

Well, as a big MHA fan, my favorite is Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, and I don't think it's wrong to say there's some overlap.

I'm currently reading Bungo Stray Dogs and it straight up feels like a darker variant on a similar setup, so if the anime is good (I've heard it is) there's that.

Shaman King is wonderful but do yourself a favor: read, don't watch.

Assassination Classroom

Talentless Nana

First season of Naruto?

{Black Clover}

One Punch Man springs to mind that’s similar to what you’re looking for. S3 is coming out soon so now is a perfect time to catch up

If you’re interested in older characters, Tiger & Bunny

Vigilantes which is a spin-off of the main series is airing right now!

To Be Hero X has so far been excellent this season. It feels like your watching a movie or a comic book play out in front of you. Has so far a good mix of serious/funny.

Black Clover is similar with the unique powers aspect.

You'll definitely enjoy Assassination Classroom

“God of High School” should be pretty similar to My hero academia

I’d shoot for fairy tail if you handled watching all of MHA. There’s 320 something episodes for the main series and 25 for 100YQ which just season one. It’s generally regarded as nothing special by a lot of the community as far as I can tell, but it’s enjoyable to watch with lovable characters and great battle scenes. It was my first anime when I was young and it’s the reason I’m here writing this right now.

Bungou Stray dogs is more superpower stuff. JJK is also good

Try the shonen genre, which is what SDS and MHA belong to. One Piece, Dragoball, Fairy Tail, Bleach, Hunter x Hunter, Black Clover, Naruto, Yu Yu Hakasho, ect.

solo leveling its just getting a season 2, arcane, Naruto, death note, code geass, if you want something shorter the time i got reincarnated into a spider, that some but i got a lot more and a couple of great movies as well

For more that are like MHA I agree with what others have said, Fairy Tail and Black Clover I think you'd like. I'd also add Hunter x Hunter, Noragami, Blue Exorcist, and Kaiju No. 8. They fit the same general vibe that I think MHA gives so I think those are some safe options.

If you want to venture out a bit more I'd recommend these as well:

Mob Psycho 100 - Generally fits a similar vibe to MHA, but has more emotional moments ranging from sad to inspiring. The animation is different and IMO it's more of a comedy than MHA, plus the emotional moments personally just feel deeper and more impactful, that's purely my own opinion though.

Demon Slayer - One of the most popular anime today, the story is pretty simple and straightforward but it's well written and the animation is nearly unparalleled. It's more bloody and a little gory at times, but it has lots of nice, light-hearted moments and by no means is it a "dark" anime, it just has some dark moments that don't last very long. In general, I'd say it's more "sad" than MHA but still very much fits into the shonen genre.

One Punch Man - By the same author that made Mob Psycho 100, it's got a very different art style and it's definitely a lot more of a comedy than anything else. It's meant to be a parody of classic action anime like Dragon Ball, even Attack on Titan, but the comedy is great and the animation is also great too.

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - A true classic, it sort of falls into the same category as Demon Slayer, but not as bloody or gory, although it's definitely more serious than something like MHA and can get pretty dark. That being said, it's a really great show, the story is amazing, and the animation still holds up.

Fire Force - Fits with MHA pretty well, although beware the fan service. IMO the animation and sound design are way better than MHA, but it's kinda lacking in the story department. It's got enough story to keep you interested and curious, it's just not amazing. IMO, carried by animation, but the animation is so good.

Jujutsu Kaisen - Same category as Demon Slayer, although slightly less light-hearted overall. Can get dark, but has an incredibly interesting and unique power system, extremely likeable and memorable characters, and amazing animation to create some awesome fight scenes.

It sounds like you want more MHA and I think the first episode of MHA: Vigilantes is out

You might like Magi. The Labyrinth of Magic is the first one, but there's also Kingdom of Magic and Sinbad's Adventures (the Sinbad one is only on Netflix tho) Lots of good side characters, and the main character does have a decent growth in development throughout the seasons. It's definitely like fantasy as well, given it's about mythical creatures and magic.

Bungou Stray Dogs

To Be Hero X

Demon slayer

Sabikui Bisco

Shaman King

Go! Go! Loser Ranger!

Nanatsu No Taizai

Ao No Exorcist

Demon Slayer

Try to be hero X the animation & story is insane, it also has great world building. Another one is Hells paradise, it's pretty good and interesting with great animation. Another good one is parasyte the maxim, one of my favorites of all time. It's so dark and interesting, with great twists and solid action.

Tiger and Bunny. Anime with super heroes. They do their work within the scope of a reality tv show.

This is more of a fringe title, but check Samurai Flamenco. It's just 12 eps so a very quick watch.

Samurai Flamenco and Go Go Loser Ranger

Vigilante! Haha and supercrooks

One punch man,Assasinacion classroom...Black clover ..(this one is almost the same concept )

You'll thank me later

Tiger & Bunny , To be Hero X and Soul Eater

If you want a shounen with emotional scenes you can also try

Black Clover

One Punch Man

Hunter x Hunter

If you havent watched Vigilantes yet, highly recommend, one of the best new series of 2025, and imo has potential to be better than MHA

MHA Vigilantes takes place before the main series. It's still being written and animated.

It is pretty good but I wouldn't exactly call it peak. That word is being used too lightly. Peak in this genre would be something like Hunter x Hunter. To be hero is fun and fits the op's criteria but it's like an 8

Welcome to demon school! iruma-kun

Actually underrated imo. It uses well known shonen tropes (school, training, even a school competition in a forest like Naruto) in kind of isekai setting (nothing super new). But it’s really fun with an agreeable MC.

Soul eater!!! Bleach for sure.

Heroes: one punch man. School themes: chivalry of a failed Knight. Mashle??!!!!

Black clover, Bleach or jjk
