Funimation Will Stream 'My Hero Academia' Season 3

If you're already looking forward to My Hero Academia's next season, then you are not the only ones. Funimation is eyeing the show shortly after its renewal announcement, and the studio just confirmed it will be streaming the season.

Earlier today, Funimation Entertainment held a panel at New York Comic Con to go over its upcoming projects. While no date for My Hero Academia's return has been set, the studio did confirm it will stream the anime as it did for seasons one and two.

ComicBook was at the panel, but Funimation refrained from giving out any further information about the new season. Bones Inc. and Toho have said they will release new information about the comeback at a later date, but fans expect the series to return next year.

When the anime does return, My Hero Academia will pick up with its 'School Trip' arc. The story will follow U.A. Class 1-A as they go on a summer training trip once their first semester at school comes to a close. The students will be brought to the Forest of Magic Beasts where they must hone their powers under the supervisions of Aizawa and pro-heroes The Pussycats. However, the League of Villains are still moving forward with its mission, and Izuku will find himself pitted against the baddies when they come to kidnap one of his classmates.

For those who aren't familiar with My Hero Academia, the manga by creator Kohei Horikoshi began publishing back in July 2014. Bones Studios adapted the series into an anime in 2016, and the series has quickly become a phenomenon. My Hero Academia takes place in a world full of people with quirks, which you might recognize as superpowers. Except Izuku Midoriya doesn't have one.

Izuku Midoriya has always wanted to be a hero, but he was born without a quirk. When the world's leading superhero All-Might chooses Izuku to be his successor, the boy's world is turned upside-down as he gains a quirk, a new school, and a set of very dangerous enemies.
