Incidentally, Funimation has only licensed English-subbed episodes of My Hero Academia to the other platforms. Fans who wish to watch English SimulDub episodes of My Hero Academia Season 2 will have to head over to FunimationNow. As part of the announcement, the company noted that the first six episodes of both the English-subtitled simulcast and English SimulDub will launch on the same day they are aired in Japan. It is not clear if the rest of the episodes of the Japanese series will have a simultaneous broadcast schedule.
RELATED REPORTS BY THE INQUISITR
While there may not be many anime fans that are unaware of My Hero Academia, it is undeniably one of the most promising anime of 2017. Released last year, the series follows the story of an unfortunate boy who aspires to be a superhero despite lacking the fundamental requirement to be one. The unlikeliest of boys ever to dream about being a superhero is named Izuku Midoriya. He is said to be unfortunate because Izuku is born in a world in which almost everyone has some kind of super-powered “quirk.” In other words, every person has some kind of unique gift that can potentially offer him or her an entry into the Hero Academy.
Interestingly, despite being completely “normal”, Izuku doesn’t give up his dream of enrolling in the elite academy. In Season 1 of My Hero Academia, Izuku managed to catch the attention of the legendary hero All Might. Having managed to win over the mighty hero, Izuku convinced All Might to teach him the ropes.

Having gained admission to the elite hero academy, Izuku is now the ninth user of the “One for All” Quirk. Season 2 is expected to explore the students’ lives within the academy. The freshmen class is expected to debut at the world-renowned U.A. Sports Festival!. Season 2 of My Hero Academia is expected to contain a lot of friendly confrontations as young heroes face off in the ultimate showdown.
Interestingly, a recently uploaded teaser video about Season 2 of My Hero Academia, revealed two unique quirks of two students, Eijiro Kirishima and Denki Kaminari. While Eijiro possesses the hardening quirk, Denki can zap things with his electrification quirk.
