On December 13, Wednesday, the My Hero Academia anime announced the upcoming release of My Hero Academia 4th Movie in Summer 2024 through Weekly Shounen Jump Issue #3. A special announcement visual featuring Deku and All Might for the movie was unveiled in the magazine.
The My Hero Academia manga, which debuted in 2014, initiated its serialization journey. Subsequently, the first anime adaptation hit the screens in 2016. Over the years, Studio Bones has produced six seasons of the anime. As the seventh season is scheduled to premiere in May, the anime is gearing up to commemorate the manga’s impressive 10-year serialization milestone.
My Hero Academia 4th Movie Announces to Premiere in Summer 2024
On Wednesday, December 13, the third issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Shounen Jump brought forth multiple revelations concerning the My Hero Academia anime. The franchise is gearing up to commemorate the 10th anniversary of its manga’s serialization in July, as indicated by the announcements.
It appears that Kohei Horikoshi and Studio Bones have intricate plans in place. The manga creator has made a commitment to keep fans engaged until the summer of 2024. This heightened anticipation seems to be centered around the upcoming release of My Hero Academia 4th movie, scheduled for the summer of 2024.
This timeline suggests that the movie could hit Japanese theaters around the same time the manga began its serialization in 2014, pointing towards a potential July release. The announcement was accompanied by a visual featuring Deku and All Might, and judging by Deku’s attire and the visual for season 7, it appears that the movie’s events will unfold within the same narrative timeline.
Fan’s Reaction to My Hero Academia 4th Movie Announcement
Enthusiastic fans were thrilled at the prospect of an upcoming My Hero Academia 4th movie. However, with the concurrent airing of the television anime, there is a collective desire among fans for the film’s narrative to align with the manga canon rather than introducing an original storyline. Some fans speculate that the movie may serve as a precursor to future developments in the television anime.
Concerns have arisen among certain fans regarding the series’ animators. With Studio Bones primarily focusing on the movie, there is apprehension that the quality of the television anime might be compromised. The anime’s sixth season had previously faced criticism, heightening worries about a potential recurrence of similar issues.
Additionally, international fans are anticipating a delayed release of the movie in their respective countries, extending the wait until 2025. This disappointment stems from the realization that they may miss out on experiencing the film during the manga’s tenth-anniversary celebrations.
