The Spring 2024 anime season is finally here, and while there's a lot to be hyped about, two of the heaviest hitters in shōnen anime, My Hero Academia and Demon Slayer, aren't starting until May. Now, Demon Slayer is another story, but Crunchyroll intends to keep MHA fans occupied every week until the new season starts, with a new four-part special, My Hero Academia: Memories.
Based on the manga by Kohei Horikoshi, My Hero Academia follows Izuku Midoriya, a young man with no superpowers in a world where over 80% of the world has one. At least, that was the case before he had a run-in with his childhood hero that changed his life forever, and set him on the path toward becoming the greatest hero in the world, if he can get a handle on his new power, that is.
Memories is a full recap of the series that will be simulcast on Crunchyroll every week at 2:30 AM PT this month, starting Saturday, April 6, and continuing until the premiere of the new season.
