The anime’s final season was directed by Naomi Nakayama under chief director Kenji Nagasaki at Studio Bones. Series composition was handled by Yosuke Kuroda, with character designs by Yoshihiko Umakoshi and music by Yuki Hayashi. Kohei Horikoshi is the creator of the original manga. Crunchyroll continues to stream the anime, including episodes, specials, and movies from the franchise.
For those new to the series, My Hero Academia follows Izuku Midoriya, a boy born without superpowers in a world where most people have “quirks,” or special abilities. Despite this, Izuku dreams of becoming a hero and earns a place at one of the world’s top hero academies.
The 10th anniversary is expected to include more events in Japan and around the world, making it a special celebration for fans of the franchise.
This extra episode and concert tour are a great way to honor a decade of My Hero Academia. It gives longtime fans a chance to see their favorite characters grow and enjoy new experiences. What do you think about the 10th anniversary plans? Share your thoughts in the comments.
