The My Hero Academia Season 1 Blu-ray is where the story of Izuku "Deku" Midoriya begins: all 13 episodes of the first season on a Blu-ray and DVD combo from Funimation. It is the natural starting point for anyone building a physical My Hero Academia collection, and the season that hooked millions of anime fans on the series.
This is a brand-new copy of the Funimation release from April 2017, with Region A Blu-rays and Region 1 DVDs, so every disc plays in standard US players.
Season One covers episodes 1 to 13, from "Izuku Midoriya: Origin" to "In Each of Our Hearts", and adapts roughly the first 21 chapters of Kohei Horikoshi's manga. The set includes both formats, so you can watch in high definition on the Blu-rays or use the DVDs in an older player.
In this world, most people are born with a superpower called a Quirk. Izuku Midoriya is not. He studies heroes obsessively and dreams of joining U.A. High School, the top academy for pro heroes, even though everyone tells him it is impossible.
Everything changes when he meets All Might, the number one hero and the symbol of peace. The first season follows Deku's punishing training, the brutal U.A. entrance exam, his rivalry with the explosive Katsuki Bakugo, and the class's first real clash with villains at the training facility. Standout episodes include "Roaring Muscles", "Deku vs. Kacchan", "Encounter with the Unknown" and "All Might".
The series is animated by studio Bones, the team behind Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and directed by Kenji Nagasaki. The opening theme, "The Day" by Porno Graffitti, is one fans still put on repeat.
You do not have to choose. Every episode includes the English dub, featuring Justin Briner as Deku, Christopher R. Sabat as All Might and Clifford Chapin as Bakugo, plus the original Japanese audio with English subtitles. Switch between them from the disc menu at any time.
The extras are on the Blu-ray discs only, so you will need a Blu-ray player or console to watch them:
Anime catalogs move between streaming services often, and licensing deals can pull a show with little notice. A Blu-ray stays on your shelf. You also get the bonus panels and interviews, a stable high-definition picture with no buffering, and both audio tracks with no extra subscription. Not sure which format is right for your setup? Read our guide to DVD vs Blu-ray differences.
The story continues in My Hero Academia Season Two Part One on Blu-ray, which picks up with the U.A. Sports Festival, followed by Season Two Part Two. See every volume we stock on the My Hero Academia collection page, or browse more series in our anime on Blu-ray and DVD section.

One of the Best Superhero Shows Ever!
So, I’d like to start out by telling those unfamiliar with the series why it’s so great. The characters have a lot of depth, some of which you can see in this season and some in later seasons. The variety of powers in the show is incredible, as well! People are used to your standard powers: Strength, speed, flight, etc. While those powers are still around, there are many more than that: Anti-gravity, explosions, creation, electric, and so many more! The massive variety of powers is not something typically seen, and it’s very refreshing that not everyone can punch a brick wall to pieces.
The plot itself, without spoiling too much, is also great! The journey follows a young boy who has dreamed his entire life of being a superhero like his idol, the world’s number 1 hero, All Might! But he learned at a young age that he was born without any powers, making his journey to be a great hero all the more challenging. But a chance encounter with All Might alters his destiny onto the hero track, and he has to learn to become a pro through school, a task made all the more difficult with his lack of experience. And by the end of the season, the students are put to the test when real villains attack!
Unlike most series, there aren’t any filler episodes. All of the episodes are part of the same story: about how a young man grew up to become the world’s greatest hero! The fight scenes are awesome, and the music is incredible! This series rivals many of the great superhero shows that are made by Marvel and DC, and most fans of the superhero genre will love the story and the characters!
I highly recommend this not just for people who love anime, but anyone who likes the superhero genre!

Masterpiece Anime
I enjoy anime from time to time. Oddly, Studio Bones is usually the common denominator of anime I like. Wolf’s Rain and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood I count among the top anime I have watched (I enjoyed the original FMA but prefer FMAB’s ending) along with Akira and Ghost In The Shell.
For context, I’ve barely read manga (some Battle Angel Alita as an exception) and while I can love anime, I am a little more on the casual side due to how frequently I consume anime. I had vacation over the holidays and had heard that My Hero Academia was good, so I specifically signed up on Hulu to watch it.
Sweet Baby Jesus was the show good. I am a grown man and it brought me to tears. I love Izuku/Deku and the cast. I did not even know prior to starting it that it was Studio Bones, but it felt like the same quality as FMAB, which is highly thought of as one of the best anime, especially for non-hardcore anime fans.
I marathonned the first season and started taking the rest slower to space it out. I’m about to finish season 2. Even though I am watching it on subscription, I had to own the Blu-ray’s. I, for the first time in ages, had to own merch for this. I bought a figurine of Izuku and have a shirt on the way, since then, I’ve got my eye on a lot of other items,
Why bring all this extra crap up? Simply put, I love this show so much that it drove me to buy more. That’s amazing, as I don’t do this. I’ve even ordered the first volume of the manga.
I’ve found out what “Shounen” anime is now (I was ignorant to this prior to MHA even though DBZ and FMA are considered this). I’ve seen this show is massively popular yet certain crowds think it’s overrated. Subjective tastes come into play here. There are no truly original stories for any genre in my opinion. It’s all in how excellently it is packaged.
MHA has fantastic music, good characters, a decent sometimes great plot, but what is most important is that it packs an emotional punch. This show has heart.
If the review was a ramble, sorry. I love this show.
To those reading this review who may think I’m missing out on other anime, this show has driven me to want to check out shows like Tiger & Bunny and/or Hunter x Hunter in the wait for season 4 once I get through the existing episodes.
People talk like this is the next Naruto. I certainly hope so, as I want as much time with these characters as I can get. If you like this show, buy the seasons, the movie, and the merch. The more money it makes the more we’ll get.
Edit – January 21, 2019
I got the time to watch some of the special features. The anime expo, meet the characters, Nishino’s interview all three are good. The AnimeFest artist sketches are cool, but not necessarily a must watch. However, the Inside The Episode extras where staff/VO cast for the dub speak about the episodes, their characters, and themselves really shine. Each video brought me smiles and laughter. You can tell that all these people are passionate about this. I really love the Inside The Episodes featurettes.

PLUS ULTRA
Aside from some minor pacing issues, My Hero Academia is easily one of the best anime in recent years. It is a moving yet simple story about a world full of heroes, where almost everyone is born with a unique power at birth. The main character is one of the few children without such powers, though this quickly changes throughout the course of the series. These 13 episodes serve as an introduction to said series, though they stand quite nicely on their own. L
Similarly, if we’re talking presentation, the art style, animation and music all fit the series perfectly. Characters and backgrounds are colorful, and during fight scenes, the animation is very fluid. The music isn’t the best anime has to offer, but it is certainly nothing to scoff at, and the voice acting was a particular highlight for me; surprising considering how most anime have lackluster English adaptations.
Overall, this is a simple superhero story with a lot of heart. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve eat yes certain scenes of this show… the feelings I get while watching it remind me of a simpler time when all that mattered was the next episode of teen titans. So, in the end, you can bet I’ll be buying season 2 as well.
