The fourth installment in the My Hero Academia anime film series has unveiled its trailer, visual, title, and premiere date for Japan, scheduled for August 2. The movie, titled "My Hero Academia the Movie: You're Next," is set to bring fresh excitement to fans.
Directed by Tensai Okamura of "Darker than Black" fame and produced by BONES, the film retains key personnel from the television series and previous movies. Scriptwriter Yōsuke Kuroda, character designer Yoshihiko Umakoshi, and composer Yuki Hayashi are all returning for this latest cinematic venture.
Kōhei Horikoshi, the original manga creator, assumes the role of general supervisor and original character designer. The film will introduce a unique storyline set in a society on the brink of collapse, occurring concurrently with the current events in the TV anime. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a mysterious giant fortress and the sudden appearance of an individual bearing a striking resemblance to the former "Symbol of Peace."
This upcoming film follows the success of its predecessors, with the franchise having previously released three movies. "My Hero Academia: Two Heroes" hit Japanese screens in July 2018, followed by "My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising" in December 2019, and "My Hero Academia THE MOVIE: World Heroes' Mission" in August 2021, which later premiered in the United States in October 2021, earning over US$10 million.
The anime's seventh season is set to kick off on April 6 with a four-episode special titled "My Hero Academia Memories." Subsequently, the main season, starting from episode 139 of the overall anime, is scheduled to debut on May 4.
Fans can reminisce about the sixth season, which premiered in October 2022, spanning two continuous cours (a quarter of a year) and consisting of 25 episodes. Crunchyroll provided streaming services for the anime's Japanese broadcast, including an English dub. Toonami also features the anime in its lineup. Additionally, an October debut marked the release of the special anime episode "My Hero Academia UA Heroes Battle."
