In a post by Anime News Network, it has been reported that on the combined third and fourth issue os Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine by Shueisha finally revealed on Monday that the much awaited television anime adaptation of Kōhei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academia) manga will premier April 2016.
In addition, the magazine also revealed that new casts will be added and they go by the name Ochako Uraraka and Tenya Iida. In fact, the designs of the two characters were revealed on Monday on the show's official website.
When the first few "My Hero Academia" anime announcements were released, the character designed for the main protagonist Izuku Midoriya and his mentor All Might were also surfaced.
The "My Hero Academia" anime's animation will be handled by BONES studio and with TOHO animation who will be responsible for its distribution, according to iDigitalTimes.
For anime fans who do not have a single clue on what this story is all about, here is a synopsis from Viz Media, the one who handles the manga distribution for North America:
"What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested extraordinary superpowers called 'Quirks' at age four? Heroes and villains would be battling it out everywhere! Becoming a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study? U.A. High's Hero Program of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless?
Middle school student Izuku Midoriya wants to be a hero more than anything, but he hasn't got an ounce of power in him. With no chance of ever getting into the prestigious U.A. High School for budding heroes, his life is looking more and more like a dead end. Then an encounter with All Might, the greatest hero of them all gives him a chance to change his destiny..."
Up to now, there are still no reports yet if "My Hero Academia" anime will be distributed in North America.
