Based on a beloved Weekly Shonen Jump manga written and illustrated by Kohei Horikoshi, the anime adaptation of My Hero Academia is commemorating its 10th anniversary. The manga reached its conclusion in 2024, and the anime followed a year later. However, as part of the anniversary celebration, Crunchyroll began streaming a special episode that adapts the extra chapter released exclusively in the final volume. The special episode takes place eight years after the Final War, where students from the U.A. High School have become renowned pro heroes. As one of the most popular Shonen series of all time, My Hero Academia has major plans to commemorate the milestone. The anime is set to return with yet another episode this year, centered around Eri, the young girl rescued by the Heroes during the Shie Hassaikai Arc.
Not only that, but it’s also going to hold an exhibition in 2027 for fans in Japan. As fans await more updates on the series’ return, the anime confirmed streaming the first two seasons for free in North America. Per a press release, It’s Anime channel, a 24/7 Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television (FAST) channel, has already begun streaming the anime. The channel’s launch coincides with the anime’s anniversary, which is why fans can begin watching this beloved series for free.
