Okay, let's be real. You're here because you need your fix of My Hero Academia. You've probably already binged it once, twice, maybe even... *gasp*... three times?
Don't worry, I'm not judging. I may or may not have a Deku plushie. But the real question is: where are we watching this masterpiece in the US?
The Usual Suspects (and My Unpopular Opinion)
Crunchyroll: The Obvious Choice
Let's get the elephant in the room out of the way. Crunchyroll is like, the official headquarters for all things anime. Including My Hero Academia.
They've got it all: subbed, dubbed, and probably even that one random OVA you forgot existed. Plus, new episodes drop pretty quickly. But here's my unpopular opinion: I don't always love their interface. Am I the only one?
Seriously, sometimes I feel like I'm fighting the website more than enjoying All Might smashing villains.
Hulu: The Streamer with Benefits
Hulu is another great option, especially if you already have a subscription. They've got a solid selection of anime, and My Hero Academia is definitely part of the lineup.
The best part? You can watch it alongside all your other favorite shows. No need to switch between different apps. Multitasking for the win!
Funimation: The Dub Hub (RIP?)
Ah, Funimation. Or should I say, former Funimation? With its merge with Crunchyroll, things are a bit... complicated.
For a while, they were the go-to for dubs. If you absolutely needed to hear Christopher Sabat as All Might, Funimation was your place. Hopefully, Crunchyroll keeps those amazing dubs coming!
Beyond the Big Three: Hidden Gems (Maybe?)
Okay, so maybe "hidden gems" is a strong word. But there are a few other places you might find My Hero Academia. Emphasis on "might."
Netflix: The Occasional Guest Star
Netflix sometimes picks up anime licenses. It's always a surprise what they will get, as there aren't the new seasons of MHA.
But don't get your hopes up too high. They aren't the most reliable when it comes to anime.
Adult Swim: Late Night Heroics
This used to show dubbed version, but it is rare these days.
If you're a night owl, you might catch reruns on Adult Swim. It's like a happy little surprise when it happens.
The Bottom Line (and My Final Unpopular Opinion)
Ultimately, Crunchyroll and Hulu are your best bets for consistently watching My Hero Academia in the US.
But here's my final, and possibly most controversial, opinion: sometimes... I miss the days of waiting for fansubs. There, I said it!
There was something special about the community and the anticipation. Don't @ me!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with Deku and a new episode. Plus Ultra!
