With My Hero Academia (MHA) wrapping up its emotional journey, a new anime king of the generation has been crowned. Remarkably, MHA’s final episode surpassed the ratings of Attack on Titan’s (AOT) finale, shocking the community. Specifically, on IMDb, MHA’s finale scored an impressive 9.6/10, while AOT’s last episode only reached 8.9/10. This gap speaks volumes about the quality of the story and fan satisfaction.
My Hero Academia Delivered What Attack on Titan Couldn’t

Comparing the finales of these two hit series clearly shows that My Hero Academia’s ending was much more carefully crafted and polished. The same cannot be said for Attack on Titan’s conclusion.
AOT fans often mention issues like rushed pacing and an overreliance on exposition rather than visual excitement. One Reddit user commented on AOT’s ending: “Personally, I found the finale a bit disappointing and it left me with the same feeling I had after finishing the manga.”
Although both series feature large casts and complex plots, Attack on Titan fell short in resolving loose ends and delivering a satisfying conclusion. Many character arcs were cut short due to the rushed ending. Additionally, the animation quality sparked negative controversy.

Meanwhile, My Hero Academia’s finale is the perfect ending new-generation anime fans have been waiting for. It resolves many story threads and fully captures the series’ core spirit and themes until the very last moment. From breathtaking visuals to artful storytelling, MHA’s final episode completely won over viewers. One fan on X (Twitter) said: “A powerful ending to a long journey. It stayed true to its core and left a unique mark. Respect to the entire journey.”
MHA’s Finale Sets a New Standard for New-Gen Anime
As mentioned, My Hero Academia’s ending is a well-planned and polished product compared to most new-generation anime series. Studio Bones spared no effort adapting Kohei Horikoshi’s masterpiece manga, staying true to its spirit and story.

Moreover, in terms of animation quality, Studio Bones remains one of the industry’s top names, avoiding any controversy. Despite earlier rumors about not including extra manga chapters, the final product exceeded expectations.
After an eight-year journey with Deku and friends, the story has come to a close. It’s safe to say this is the ending we all hoped for. Overall, My Hero Academia’s finale has clearly set a new benchmark for new-generation anime series.
