Good news for fans of the My Hero Academia franchise! The highly popular manga series by Kohei Horikoshi is set to receive a seventh season for its television anime adaptation. But that's not all, there's even more excitement as the franchise has officially announced a fourth film, which many speculate is being developed alongside the upcoming seventh season. Stay tuned for more updates from the world of My Hero Academia!

However, there are fans who are dissatisfied with this as the production of the fifth season was carried out simultaneously with the franchise's third film. Consequently, fans criticized animation Studio Bones for prioritizing the quality of the film over the fifth season, which, admittedly, was significantly inferior compared to previous seasons. Hopefully, fans will not witness a repetition of this history with the anime's future projects. Stay updated with the latest news on My Hero Academia's anime, manga, film, and live-action adaptation, as well as other general anime, manga, film, and live-action updates throughout 2023.
