If you were wondering where you were going to end up watching the upcoming anime adaptation of Kohei Horikoshi’s My Hero Academia, Funimation has you covered. Earlier today the company announced the acquisition of the exclusive international rights to the series, which is set to premiere in the U.S., Canada, and UK this April.
Funimation’s acquisition includes the international rights to home entertainment, video on demand, merchandise, and broadcast distribution. The first episode of the BONES-produced adaptation will premiere in April on the FunimationNow streaming service.
Synopsis:
There’s a new hero in town! “My Hero Academia” is a superhero origin story that soars to the top of the class!
Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not going to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies. Now, the only thing standing between him and his first class is the academy’s formidable entrance exam—nothing a little private tutoring from the world’s mightiest hero can’t solve.
