The anime adaptation of
Boku no Hero Academia is proving just as popular as its manga counterpart. The shōnen anime is already the darling of the Spring anime season after just a few episode. After some epic world-building, it appears as if the anime is ready to introduce its first major villain, Tomura Shigaraki. He will be voiced by Kōki Uchiyama (Soul Eater's Soul Eater Evans, Gundam Unicorn's Banagher Links, Hunter × Hunter's Meruem).
The series can currently be seeon on Hulu. It's slated for a 13-episode first cour, followed by a second cour in the Winter 2016 season. New episodes are streamed every Sunday.
Mankind has developed superpowers known as "Quirks" with 80% of the population having some kind of superpower. These new abilities see the rise of both superheroes and villains. A prestigious school known as the The Hero Academy trains superpowered hopefuls into the heroes the world needs. Middle school student Izuku Midoriya wants to be a hero more than anything, but he's part the 20% without a Quirk. Unwilling to give up his dream, he plans to take the exam and be accepted into a high school for budding heroes. Through a series of serendipitous events, he catches the eye of the greatest hero, All Might, who agrees to train him.
