Boku no Hero Academia is in my opinion, was better read than watched, but my circle of friends also does call me an incorrigible hipster jokingly, so take that with a pinch of salt.
The anime has for the most part managed to hit the majority of the series high notes though, and it's a really good adaptation of the manga, so it gets a recommendation anyway.
The second season of Hero Academia is one of the standouts in a rather... weak Spring season. I'd say it's good, with the caveat of being very very Shonen.
The other standout of Spring 2017 for me is Re:Creators, which writer Rei Hiroe openly admits is "Last Action Hero, The Anime".
Re:Creators was such an insane over the top concept that I could not pass this one up, especially since it's a collaboration between the aforementioned Rei Hiroe who wrote Black Lagoon and Ei Aoki who worked on Fate/Zero.
It's a heady mix of stock character tropes, broody existentialist themes while simultaneously being a heartfelt love letter to the genres.
As a kicker, Hiroyuki Sawano is working on the OST, and he's one of my favorite composers currently active in the field (though even he can't hold a candle to Yoko Kanno).
Needless to say... it's a bit more representative of the Seinen genre
