 The 25th and final episode of the fourth season of Boku no Hero Academia (My Hero Academia) ended with an announcement on Saturday that the television anime is getting a fifth season.The anime series adapts Kouhei Horikoshi's action superhero manga, which drew inspiration from his Boku no Hero (My Hero) one-shot that was published in the 2008 Winter issue of Akamaru Jump. The manga began serialization in Weekly Shounen Jump in July 2014. Shueisha published the 26th volume on March 4. Boku no Hero Academia has a cumulative 26 million copies of its compiled volumes in print. Produced by Bones, the first television anime aired in 13 episodes in Spring 2016. The consecutive seasons premiered in Spring 2017, Spring 2018, and Fall 2019, respectively—each running for 25 episodes. The 13th and 14th volumes included two original video anime episodes in April and June 2017. The Futari no Hero and Heroes:Rising side-story films opened in Japan in August 2018 and on December 20. VIZ Media licensed the manga in English under its Shounen Jump imprint in February 2015 and serialized it in their digital Weekly Shonen Jump magazine till it discontinued. The company's new Shounen Jump platform now simulpublishes the manga with the Japanese release. The 23rd volume shipped on February 4. Funimation licensed the anime series in North America and released the first season on home video in April 2017. The second season was distributed in two volumes the following April and June. The Futari no Hero anime film and the third season shipped in March, May and September last year, respectively. Announcement Source: Comic Natalie Boku no Hero Academia 5th Season on MAL |

| aint nobody surprised at this point lol |
| Who would have thought? |

 |
| this will have a complete anime adaptation anyway |
| Not surprising in the slightest, we know this'll be getting full adaption but it's always sweet to have confirmation nonetheless. I've heard this won't be coming this year so here's to hoping they'll return back to the yearly Spring releases. Better not be one-cour, as well. I probably don't even need to say that but just in case... |

| *pretends to be shocked* Can't wait for the 5th season. Is it going to air on Fall 2020 or Spring 2021? |
 |
| i guess it will be on spring next year dont wanna expect more like this season, but hopefully the 5th will be much better |
 |
| This has basically become an expected tradition at this point lol. Another tradition: waiting for the salty comments from people who could easily just ignore news about a series they don't like and using that time to enjoy something they do like. *grabs popcorn* Hopefully the original director comes back and there's no movie planned, the 4th season was fine but not as good as the previous ones. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Another season, another suffering. |

| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| We're getting awfully close to the manga so I wonder if they might do a split-cour thing like Attack on Titan's been doing recently. |
| I used to be a watchmaker. |
JanPri said: pacing and also they are not studio pierrot or toeiWhy don't they just make a single long season like Naruto/Bleach/Black Clover etc.? |
JanPri said: Why don't they just make a single long season like Naruto/Bleach/Black Clover etc.? Because they do other anime and then you would complain about filler arcs/animation |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| Well with how much things heated up (heh) in the last episode of season 4, a season 5 coming quickly is more than welcome~ |
 |
JanPri said: doing so may cause a drop in qualityWhy don't they just make a single long season like Naruto/Bleach/Black Clover etc.? |
| An admin's dickhead Soul banned me from MAL t('v't) |
| Not surprised, but still extremely welcomed ^^ I would love to see Shouto and Bakugou in action after they got their license ^^ And we get to see more of the villain side after all~ ^^ |
 I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD |
| Well yes, obviously. |
 |
| Never would thought of that. DragonIncursio said: It's a long of a story tho. MHA could reach One Piece level if the author really wanted that.Im getting really tired of the 25 episode seasons. By next year , they should have enough material to do 50 episodes or close to it. They are literally gonna have too many 25 episode seasons. Why not do what they did with FMA or Soul Eater ?? |
| I mean, I'm not surprised, but I'm still happy about it :p |
  I will show no mercy for you You had no mercy for me The only thing that I ask Love me mercilessly |
| I'm very excited for whats to come! |

JanPri said: Fillers are incredibly hit or miss, with most leaning towards miss aka quite bad and forgetable. That and it's both expensive and exhausting to keep an anime running like that for long periods of time, especially for smaller studios.Old_School_Akira said: Do people really hate fillers that much? I mean, I generally don't watch shonen anime (neither this one) but isn't it better to have more story even if it was not originally in the manga?

JanPri said: Only if they actually hire capable writers to storyboard their filler episodes. I myself quite enjoy filler episodes in battle shounen, they provide the much needed down time that the original series could not provide, and give us more character interaction between unlikely parties. Unfortunately most filler episodes I've seen try way too hard to include some kind of bombastic battle as if it's canonical, and failed to make it as relevant as the canon story arcs hence resulting in it becoming incredibly mediocre.Do people really hate fillers that much?

JanPri said: Why don't they just make a single long season like Naruto/Bleach/Black Clover etc.? Do you realize that manga would caught up with manga material and they would have to do fillers? Also with first FMA and Soul Eater after Bones run out of manga material they went anime original which most of people doesn't like or even hate. With FMA:B they had full story so adaptation went smooth (unfortunately quality of animation wasn't as great as previous). |

I wouldnt mind fillers tbh since class 1 -a is not seen for awhile, make a filer arc with them developing their quirks by testing them and pushing their limits. There are a number of villains they could create So you are just like dragon ball fanbase that would watch it even if characters were acting like monkeys and throw shit at each other. |

| I wonder If they are going to censor MVA. |
| And no surprise to anyone, this anime has an absurd fanbase |
| Apaixonado por jogos e animes. |
JanPri said: Why don't they just make a single long season like Naruto/Bleach/Black Clover etc.? They won't have enough materials to adapt if they do so. Plus, bones have many other anime besides this. |
  Wandering Witch is the best light novel ever! |
