My Hero Academia is one of the biggest anime franchises in the world right now. You can tell by the sheer length of the ongoing anime series by studio Bones (Wolf’s Rain, Fullmetal Alchemist, Mob Psycho 100) right now, which as of this writing stands at 154 episodes (plus nine OVAs) spanning seven seasons. You can tell based on that alone that mangaka Kohei Horikoshi (Oumagadoki Zoo, Barrage) has a hit on his hands. However, not only that, but there are currently no less than four anime films in the franchise. Alas, only three of them have made it to NA shores thus far, with the fourth in the series, My Hero Academia: You’re Next, still being a Japan-only release ever since its debut in Japanese theaters nationwide on August 2, 2024.
That is, until now. All thanks to Beyond Fest for their upcoming screening of My Hero Academia: You’re Next. Curious now? Either as a fan of the anime, or as a newcomer? Well, read on below:
