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.

Go Beyond! Plus Ultra!
My Hero Academia is a love letter to the western comic. Everything about it oozes with that silver age aesthetic. It’s good to keep this in mind since it will paint your expectations for the rest of the show
The anime is a faithful (panel for panel) presentation of the Weekly Shounen Jump manga created by Kohei Horikoshi, which is still on-going as of writing this. This 13 episode season covers the first full major story arc in the manga, at a pace of 1 or 2 chapters per episode. I’ll leave the detailed synopsis to others who find themselves more qualified to offer it. Simply put, this is the story of a boy named Izuku Midoriya who wants to be a hero more than anything. However, in a world filled with people with special powers, he winds up one of the very few born without any. What he lacks in super powers, he makes up for in the intangibles that drive a hero, and through both coincidence and his own determination he’s offered the opportunity of a lifetime.
Studio BONES spearheaded this effort, and their reputation precedes them. The realization of this show with sound, color, and motion is faithful and impressive. If the manga is regarded as a nascent masterpiece of shounen in the making, then be not surprised that the anime improves upon it still. The music is a particular shining point in an otherwise stellar presentation, featuring excellent themes and leitmotifs. What’s more, the Blu Ray had a second quality pass by the studio and looks even better than the TV broadcast.
The dub is a thoroughly solid showing. The casting is, across the board, spot-on. Chris Sabat as All Might stands out as an obvious high point, and he delivers in full. Not to discredit the efforts of the rest of the voice talent, Justin Briner plays a fantastic Midoriya as well.
This anime is a perfect companion to the manga, and I have every faith that Bones will continue to deliver a quality product. It suffers for pacing at points, but only if we’re nitpicking, and we very well shouldn’t. All Might wouldn’t stand for it.
Do yourself a favor and check this out. Horikoshi is an extremely talented author and the manga moves at a blistering pace – thwarting along the way most of the tropes and trappings of the genre by embracing them whole-heartedly.

Worth Getting
Really it is an outstanding series. While live action superhero movies are huge now, I think a lot of us grew up watching animated superhero series. Honestly this anime is one I’m happy to add to my collection in general, but also as a great superhero show.
The story has a fair amount of cliche elements to it, but the show takes those and uses them well. It does have a fair amount of surprises while using some familiar elements. The main character Izuku has a great mixture of characteristics. He’s someone who has suffered a difficult childhood, has experienced being powerless and yet through all that he has the kind of decisive desire to help people that makes him worthy to become a hero. Or at least start on the road to learning how to become one.
I really like the setting. We’ve seen settings where people with super abilities are ostracized (like X-Men) or where there are only a handful of powerful people in a normal world. But here we have a world where the percentages are flipped. Where people with abilities are the vast majority and it’s only a small amount who are without powers. A world where there are so many powerful people that being a superhero becomes a job. A mixture of rescue worker and celebrity.
It is just a good looking show. Studio Bones did a masterful job. The visuals are bright and defined, the characters are distinct looking, and the action looks really nice. It has a visual style that works well and feels like a comic book anime.
And there are a surprising amount of extras. You really don’t see this many extras (a lot of interviews, character intros, anime expo panels) for an anime release. Most of the time we just get clean opening and ending visuals, maybe a trailer.
This is just the start of My Hero Academia. A really strong show that has a lot more coming our way. I think it is a good entry anime for people since it does focus on a topic that many can wrap their heads around. Worth picking up.

Great show, I just wish all the episodes were on one disc
I think down to its core My Hero Academia is so thoroughly enjoyable as a shounen because it has something most other shounen do not. While it presents stereotypes of the genre (the loser turned hero, the friend/enemy, etc.) It does so with genuine heartfelt emotional depth and feeling. These things don’t ring hollow when they come to pass. You truly root for main character Deku to overcome, to persist, because you really to believe he is a hero at heart, and that’s rare as well as captivating.
I could say more, but this is a series worth experiencing with little info going in. The characters could use more development, but I have a feeling that’ll come with time. It’s definitely getting more seasons, with the second currently airing. The only reason I didn’t give it a perfect 5 is because I really just hate that all the episodes don’t fit on one disc. I feel like there’s no reason for this, and really ruins the flow. Otherwise, no complaints.
