Release Date: March 27th
This wildly popular shonen anime is returning in April! Exactly what's coming isn't yet clear, but if it follows the manga, we'll be seeing a lot more of class 1-B, plus new developments with Izuku's quirk and the League of Villains. If nothing else, they have to deal with Gigantomachia, who's been on the loose since Season 4. With plenty of exciting plot points left to go, here's hoping that this will be an amazing season.
A mysterious being called It appears on earth with no emotions, no memories, and no preconceptions. It takes the form of the things it encounters, including a sphere, some moss, and more. Eventually it encounters an abandoned human boy in search of a lost paradise. It takes the form of the boy, and sets off on an endless journey.
Takemichi Hanagaki's life is already spiralling down the drain when he's hit with terrible news: his ex-girlfriend Hinata Tachibana has been slain by the criminal Tokyo Manji Gang. He gets the opportunity to travel 12 years into the past, back when he was still dating Hinata. He uses the opportunity to try to infiltrate the Tokyo Manji Gang and change the future to save Hinata's life.
Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun will soon be airing its second season. After being sold to the chairman of a demon school, Iruma Suzuki is initially terrified. But he soon finds out that his new demon grandfather is actually super nice. His biggest concerns are less about being torn apart by demons and more about being expected to become the next Demon King, even though he's human. The upcoming season looks like a great continuation of the same wacky concept.
