Well, you are free to dislike it. But please keep in mind that this discussion thread is for those who enjoy the show.

Naw. It sucks. The manga was much better. The show was pain after reading the original.
But that's usually the case. If you watch the show without the original, I'm sure it seems fine.

Wow, is there a vast difference in the way the anime adapted the manga? I only started reading the manga after season 4 of the anime was released, so I do not know the differences in the way the story is told in the manga and the anime.
Yes, I am starting to notice that as well.
I don't see how the quality of the anime has any bearing on the quality of the opening songs. That's like saying you don't like the taste of a drink because the manufacturer is racist or something. Anyways I only really know the first 4 openings so I'm probably just as helpful, but 3-1-4-2 in order.

I haven't watched My Hero Academia, but I listened to all the openings out of spite to those who derailed the thread. I didn't like anything beside 4 and 9, but if I had to rate them, 4>9>3>8>5>6>1>2>7. Though I'm not sure I've listened to the right openings as I watched them on some playlist on youtube and everything were in Japanese.

Different medium.
Look. What I write as a book that is serial (intended to be released every few days) is different from a book to be sold all together. Which is different from a Script that I write for an audio drama. Which would be written different for a script for a TV show with episodes which is different for a story written for a single sitting movie.
They are all VERY DIFFERENT and it might seem like some are very similar, they aren't. It changes everything defending what the medium is.
The manga is different in that it is slower. You can take your time to absorb the story as well as how it is drawn does mean a lot. The character models do not translate into motion well. It's very LOUD in the manga, which works because it is still. Once those characters start to move, it becomes entirely too busy. All the nuance is lost. I also dislike the color pallet.
The original has a great deal of weigh and meaning to the artist's choices which are still carried over, but the ADHD method of translating it into anime format destroys it for me. Hard to explain... Ah here.
Take an old TV show. Say... MASH.
Start watching it. Start counting. 1-onethousand. 2-Onethousand. 3-Onethousand.
Every time the camera angle changes, start counting over from the start.
I have gotten up to 20 on some long continuous shots.
Now do that for any TV show in the past 10 years. Tell me how many times you get to 6.
Now do that for any "Reality" TV show. Tell me how many times you get to 4.
It's a psychological trick. The lizard hind brain is triggered by movement and rapid changes. So, every time the camera angle shifts, it triggers a part of the very back of your brain right above the spinal cord that says, "Danger?" and draws your eyes towards it. The worse the show, the MORE THEY WILL DO THIS. Why? Because it tricks you into keeping your eyes on the screen when normally, if the show was shit, you'd look away.
There is a chance, if you like Reality TV shows, or any show that most people tell you, "THIS SUCKS. how can you like that shit?" That there is a chance, the only reason you like it, is because this psychological trick caused you to pay attention to it more then you would have and you, logically, said to yourself, "If I couldn't tear my eyes away, I must have liked it."

Any TV show, or anime that employs this trick, I don't watch it. If I can't get to 6 at least ONCE watching the first episode, I don't watch the second. It's been a long time since I saw the Anime of My Hero, but I seem to recall it didn't pass this litmus test for me.
Tell again, I have a rather high bar to reach for what I call, "Quality". So take it with a boulder of salt.
