Everyone knows the highly-anticipated seventh season of My Hero Academia is premiering in Japan on May 4, 2024, but what you might now have known – although you probably anticipated it – is that Crunchyroll will be simulcasting all the episodes of the upcoming season starting May 4 at 2:30 AM PT all around the world. This is going to be a unique viewing experience for fans around the world (excluding Asia) and shows just how much effort Crunchyroll is putting into its streaming service.
On top of that, and that is also something we have written about earlier, Crunchyroll will also simulcast the My Hero Academia: Memories special, which is going to be a special four-episode event recapping the series from Deku’s entrance exam training for U.A. High School in Season 1 all the way through the Dark Hero arc in Season 6. These episodes will also be simulcast on a weekly basis from Japan, starting on April 6 at 2:30 AM PT. Both of these will be also dubbed in English, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, and Italian, but the release dates of the dubs will be revealed at a later point. Currently, you’ll be able to watch the subbed versions.
Naomi Nakayama is directing the season at studio BONES, while the remaining staff members are chief director Kenji Nagasaki, character designs by Yoshihiko Umakoshi and Hitomi Odashima, art direction by Shigemi Ikeda and Yukiko Maruyama, color design by Kazuko Kikuchi, cinematography direction by Takafumi Sawa, editing by Kumiko Sakamoto, sound direction by Masafumi Mima, and music by Yuki Hayashi.

Heroes protect people and society from accidents, disasters, and villains—criminals who use their Quirks for evil. The story of Izuku Midoriya and his classmates at U.A. High School and their growth, fights, and friendship unfolds as they aim to become heroes.“
