"I like that facial expression to be honest. I hope the anime can capture the comedic parts as well. It looks nice so far," said Stark700.
Anime News Network reports that the "My Hero Academia" anime series will be directed by Kenji Nagasaki. Yousuke Kuroda is overseeing the series scripts and Yoshihiko Umakoshi is responsible for the character designs. Finally, Studio Bones is handling the animation production.
"My Hero Academia" was originally a manga series by Kohei Horikoshi. The series is currently running in Weekly Shonen Jump. Viz Media is simultaneously publishing the chapters and released the first volume of the manga in August.
The story of "My Hero Academia" is described by My Anime List as follows:
"People are not born equal, a realization that 4-year-old Midoriya Izuku faced when bullied by his classmates who had unique special powers. Izuku was one of the rare cases where he was born with absolutely no unique powers. This did not stop Izuku from pursuing his dream, a dream of becoming a great hero like the legendary All-Might."
It goes on:
"To become the great hero he hopelessly wants to become, he now will join the ranks of one of the highest rated 'Hero Academies' in the country: Yueiko. With the help of his idol All-Might, will he be able to claim the ranks and become a true hero?"
At the moment, there's no official "My Hero Academia" release date. Given the speed of the information about the series that is being released however, there will likely be a release date announcement soon.
