My Hero Academia: You're Next is one of the most exciting anime movies in recent memory, and fans are closer than ever to having the franchise's latest available at home. According to a post on the Netflix Anime X account, My Hero Academia: You're Next will premiere on Netflix in the US, Canada, and other regions on April 20th.
Released on August 2nd in Japan and October 11 in the United States, My Hero Academia is the latest film in the smash-hit franchise.

My Hero Academia: You're Next received critical acclaim, with some even heralding it as the franchise's best cinematic outing yet.
My Hero Academia You're Next Landing On Netflix Is A Big Deal
The Move Speaks To A Broader Strategy On Netflix's Part
The main My Hero Academia series is available on a wide variety of streaming platforms, including Hulu, Crunchyroll, and Netflix. Unfortunately, the streaming rights to My Hero Academia's movies is more complex. The first movie, My Hero Academia: Two Heroes is currently available on Netflix, Hulu, and Crunchyroll, while the next movie, Heroes Rising, is only available on Netflix and Crunchyroll. To make matters even more complex, World Heroes Mission, the third movie, is only streaming on Starz. As if that wasn't enough, the series' recent spinoff anime, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, is only streaming on Crunchyroll.
Title | Streaming Platforms |
|---|---|
My Hero Academia | Netflix, Crunchyroll, Hulu |
My Hero Academia: Two Heroes | Netflix, Crunchyroll, Hulu |
My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising | Netflix, Crunchyroll |
My Hero Academia: World Heroes Mission | Starz |
My Hero Academia: You're Next | Netflix |
My Hero Academia: Vigilantes | Crunchyroll |
Unfortunately, these sort of messy rights issues are common with anime. The Naruto movies, for instance, are also scattered across a wide variety of services. My Hero Academia's streaming situation is only better by virtue of there being far less of the franchise to divide up. While it's unclear is Netflix has the sole right to stream You're Next, it certainly appears that way at the time, which speaks to Netflix's broader efforts to appeal to anime fans.

Regardless of its streaming home, My Hero Academia: You're Next is easily a franchise highlight.

Dark Might provides a compelling mystery and his connection to All Might lets him be a far more personal villain for Deku and the rest of Class 1-A.
