The official website for the Boku no Hero Academia (My Hero Academia) anime series announced an additional cast pair on Friday for the franchise's fourth movie. Boku no Hero Academia the Movie: You're Next is scheduled to release in Japanese theaters on August 2.

Giulio Gandini: Mamoru Miyano (Bungou Stray Dogs)

Anna Scervino: Meru Nukumi

Kouhei Horikoshi began the action superhero manga in Weekly Shounen Jump in July 2014. Shueisha published the 40th volume on April 4.

The first television anime aired in 13 episodes in Spring 2016, followed by five other seasons in Spring 2017, Spring 2018, Fall 2019, Spring 2021, and Fall 2022 respectively—each running for 25 episodes. The three previous movies opened in Japanese theaters in August 2018, December 2019, and August 2021. The seventh anime season began airing on May 4.

VIZ Media licensed the manga in English through its Shounen Jump imprint in February 2015 and serialized it in their digital Weekly Shonen Jump magazine until it was discontinued. The company's new Shounen Jump platform now simulpublishes the manga with the Japanese release. The 37th volume was shipped on March 5, while the 38th volume is scheduled to release on June 4.

@FabioCosta Whether they are important or not does not make them filters. It seems to me that you are very much confusing the meaning of the terms. Not to mention, the MHA films really expand the lore. For example, Two Heroes adds depth to Bakugou and Midoriya's relationship.

@IDontWishToBe The original film, series fillers and changing the plot due to creative vision are different things. As for Sailor Moon, even if we forget that the original series did some things more straight than they were in the original manga, the yuri line was a joke. It was the Fandom that made this supposedly serious position of Ikuhara, turning it into a meme. Ikuhara's motivation was more of a soft version of Naoko Yamada in Hibike, who reduced the role of the male character to focus on female friendship and not expecting the show to be so popular that she would have to justify herself to shippers.

"Studios in the past were bold and ambitious"

Studios in the past produced things like the Sailor Moon anime where there were lots of filler and they downplayed the main character's boyfriend role in the story because the director in charge was obsessed with yuri. I don't see the past with pink lenses. Everything that used to be will happen again, nothing new under the sun. In fact, we must say things are getting better, because now we don't have as much filler as before.

If this ambition means hijacking the story because you prefer this character or hate another one, I can live without this kind of ambition thank you.

@RobertBobert These movies don't matter. That's my point. I stopped watching these fillers, movies, ovas, specials, etc. and I had a way better experience with nanatsu no taizai and ao no exorcist. From now on, I only watching canon stuff and things that matter. Life is too short to spend time with this fillers bullshit.

And the mindless milking continues . Seeing projects like this makes me sad because such talented animators etc don't get the chance to animate many different projects because some greedy upper management want to milk a series endlessly . Studios wanted to make money in the past too but they were bold and ambitious but now the studios have become like Hollywood .

@FabioCosta Just because their plot based on side stories doesn't mean they are filters. This is not the TV show. They do not have to be an adaptation of some manga chapters to don't be filters; the scripts of all films were written by the manga author himself and then additionally canonized through the cameos of characters in the manga.

@deg they're all filler. If you choose to skip them, you're not gonna miss anything important/relevant to the main story. If I skip this movie i'm gonna miss something? I don't think so. Like c'mon man, I think you understand what i'm trying to say. How many chapters from the manga this movie will cover? If the answer is 0 the movie is filler in my opinion (of course we have some exceptions), but if you ignore the past movies that don't change anything.

@FabioCosta the 3 other movies are canon since the old characters from it was seen again in future manga chapters but only brief appearances
