Rough Translation: Thanks for watching! To everyone who was rooting for us, the anime team is very grateful. On to season 2! It was fun to experience this as a viewer!
My Hero Academia is based on Kōhei Horikoshi’s manga of the same name. Kenji Nagasaki directed the project at Bones, with Yousuke Kuroda (Gundam Build Fighters, Trigun) penning the show’s scripts. Yoshihiko Umakoshi (Berserk) provided character designs.
Funimation currently holds the exclusive international home entertainment, video on demand, merchandise, and broadcast distribution rights to the property. The company simulcasted the show in the United States, Canada, The United Kingdom, and Ireland as episodes air in Japan.
Funimation describes My Hero Academia as:
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.
