A great first season
Purchased at £30. Daughter aged 15 used own money for this, and has ordered it be awarded 5/5.My reviews of anime are always as "parent of the XX year old" so here goes:Limited edition collectors edition consisting of an "ok" key ring, a nice little student notebook, and a really nice quality artwork book.2 Blu-ray cases, one with the 13 episodes over 2 dvds, and one with 3 blu-ray discs (episodes & extras).I am writing this review before viewing the extras, so purely based on the episodes themselves.I'm impressed. The obvious comparisons can be made with Soul Eater and Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, and so far this seems to hold its own well. Whilst it is difficult to compare a season one, with the complete S.E./ F.M.A.B. series box sets, I can certainly say that so far it's an "instant", quality, funny, action anime. Funimation have yet again come good with the English dub, .....Christopher Sabat standing out for me as a brilliantly O.T.T. "All Might". Love it.As a package at £50 too expensive. At £30, still quite expensive really, but .... it's a nice collectors edition of a really enjoyable anime.As an anime itself I will simply judge using the "want to" scale factor, and certainly I want to see more.

Fantastic product for a fantastic show!
Loving this Anime. I'm not a massive anime fan but this is a very accessible series regardless of whether you have never watched anime or are a massive otaku!Another reviewer called this a love letter to western super hero comics and I wholeheartedly agree. However unlike the Western heroes this series takes the supernatural and makes it totally normal ( ;-) ) creating a unique and believable way in which a superhuman society might operate.If you are a fan of super heroes I highly recommend this series and the English dub provided by Funimation is extremely high quality. The extras you get with the limited edition are really nice. You get a keyring, a glossy art book in hardback and a notebook with a surprise on the centre page.Check it out and if you are still unsure head over to Funimation and give it a watch.

Fantastic series, I think even non anime fans would really enjoy this.I prefer to watch anime subbed but I have watched the dub in it's entirety and it's pretty solid as far as dubs go.As for the boxset itself, it's a little over-priced at £50 considering that it's only 13 episodes long. (I was fortunate enough to get it for £30) but it's still a really nice set, two blu ray boxes (one with the blu rays, one with the dvd's) inside a nice carboard case.Also comes with a keyring (not very good) an artbook (quite nice) and a notepad with all-mights signature inside. (;D)

REALLY GOOD ENTERTAINMENT
Great entertainment but disappointed that despite being marked as region 2 Blue Ray it has to be viewed on PlayStation 4! It just will not play on my Region2 Blue Ray.

Great show so I show my support! :)
Great anime and great package. People say the price is expensive but not at all, £50 is nothing for a great box set these days.All 13 episodes are great and a must watch if you're a true fan I don't think you care about price but to only support the anime community and the series you love. :)Keep up the great work!

Great box set! Not so plus ultra key chain
Absolutely perfect product with the exception of the fairly low quality key chain, totally made up for with the art book though!
