Pros
Pro Psychological thriller elements
While many anime tend to focus on epic battles, this one is almost entirely mental. Some of the biggest happenings are mostly relating to characters' thoughts and plans, yet it sill manages to draw in the viewers.

This show tries to hit as many amine hero cliches as possible, giving it it's own unique feel.

Cons
Con Second part not as good as the first
The show follows the rise and fall of the main characters. Generally, the first half of the show is considered the best part of it for this reason.
Con Plot armor
Plot armors are fine but this whole series is just a plot armor for the main character Light Yagami.
Con Boring story
Whenever a villain appears, all the heroes gets beaten badly but just after the heroes are beaten, Saitama appears out of nowhere & beats the villain. Nothing special about this.
Con Light on plot
Unlike many popular anime, this one doesn't play into insane backstory and plot twists. This may be a turn off to those looking for a more story-driven experience.
Con Bad graphics
It has oversimplified animation.
Con Superhero genre
Parody or not, superhero genre is boring from it's begining.
Con Very predictable
The story is always simple and predictable taking away the thrill of any fights in the show.
