This weekend two anime shows made a highly anticipated comeback, Attack on Titan and My Hero Academia. While fans were not so happy about the first episode of Attack on Titan the new My Hero Academia episode received raving reviews. One other thing that really frustrated anime fans was the announcement of a short season of Attack on Titan, only being 12 episodes. However, it doesn't seem that this will be a trend with other new series, as it was confirmed today that My Hero Academia's second season will be 25 episodes.

If you are not familiar with My Hero Academia, the series officially began back in 2014 when Weekly Shonen Jump published Kōhei Horikoshi's manga. The original series was then adapted into an anime in April 2016 and exploded in popularity.

The show follows a middle school student named Izuku Midoriya. The boy is just an average teenager who was born in an alternate universe where everyone is born with superpowers. That is of course, except for him. The powerless but passionate Izuku dreams of still becoming a famous and beloved superhero, but he finds himself mocked for his seemingly unreachable goal.

However, his classmates are soon silenced when Izuku proves himself by doing something truly heroic; he saves a fellow classmate of his from a villain when no one else would step up to the challenge, and the world's greatest superhero, All Might, decides to gift the Izuku a special power. The new gift, which is known as One For All, allows Izuku to channel great physical strength - and it finally allows him to enter the training academy U.A. High School, and strive for being the most famous superhero in the world.

The show is currently available to watch on Funimation, Hulu, and Crunchyroll. Funimation announced that the new season will be simulcast, same day as release, with English subtitles in the U.S. on both Hulu and Crunchyroll. However the Simuldub (English dubbed simulcast) will be exclusive to Funimation's on streaming service FunimationNow.

This promotional event is in preparation for season two of the hit hit series hitting screens on April 1st. The show will be available to watch in the United States on Funimation, Hulu, and Crunchyroll. Funimation announced that the new season will be simulcast with English subtitles in the U.S. on both Hulu and Crunchyroll. However the Simuldub (English dubbed simulcast) will be exclusive to Funimation's on streaming service FunimationNow.
