"My Hero Academia" Season 2 Confirmed, Anime Fans Go Nuts
Fans of "My Hero Academia" had mixed emotions over the final episode of Season 1: excitement over what would transpire in the last episode and sadness that the anime show will soon be over.
However, it was immediately confirmed that there will be "My Hero Academia" Season 2.
