First My Hero Academia PV, Character Designs Released


This is shaping up to be a series of truly heroic proportions!

Earlier today, the official My Hero Academia anime website started streaming a new promotional video. The minute-long teaser gives a brief glimpse at the show in motion.

In addition to the promo video, studio Bones released character design sheets for Izuku Midoriya and All Might.

My Hero Academia is based on Kōhei Horikoshi’s manga of the same name. The series is being directed by Kenji Nagasaki at Bones, with Yousuke Kuroda (Gundam Build Fighters, Trigun) providing the show’s scripts. Yoshihiko Umakoshi (Berserk) is in charge of the show’s character designs.

Daiki Yamashita (Log Horizon, Yowamushi Pedal) will play lead character Izuku Midoriya, while Kenta Miyake (Assassination Classroom, Hayate the Combat Butler!!) will play All Might.

Viz Media currently holds the domestic rights to the My Hero Academia manga, which they publish digitally. New chapters of the series are added each week, concurrent with the Japanese release.
