My Hero Academia has grown to become one of the most popular animes in the world. When it first aired in 2016, it was impossible to predict the popularity the series would receive — after all, many series don’t strike it so lucky right off the bat. Now, though, it's in its seventh season, with three (soon to be four) films and a handful of video games under its belt, and there are no signs of the series slowing down. It’s as popular as ever, but as with all popular things, it gets constantly analyzed and compared to the series that came before it. In this case, the predecessor in question is 2011’s Tiger & Bunny. While My Hero Academia definitely has its strong points, such as having a broad cast of interesting characters, an intriguing overarching villain, and some visually stunning fight scenes, a lot of these things are found, and done far better, in Tiger & Bunny.
