Anime fans in Asia are in for a double dose of action and adventure as Asia’s top Japanese anime channel, Animax, is set to air two of this season’s biggest series – My Hero Academia and Twin Stars Exorcists, on the same day as Japan.
First to premiere on Animax on April 3 is My Hero Academia, the first-ever television anime adaptation of the wildly popular Weekly Shonen Jump manga with 13 episodes of superhero action and comedy.
Set in a world where a majority of the population possess superpowers, the anime tells the tale of 15-year-old Izuku Midoriya, born without any powers but defies his birth rights and joins the hero-training high school in Japan. Will he be able to match up with his elite peers and emerge as the ultimate hero?
My Hero Academia airs 8 p.m. every Sunday.
Also premiering on the same day as Japan is the action-packed Twin Star Exorcists. From the acclaimed studio that produced major hits such as Naruto and Bleach, this supernatural anime adventure is highly anticipated by both the fans and media.
Like the manga of the same name, the series follows the journey of rival exorcists Rokuro and Benio, as they discover their true destinies and pair up to exorcise all the evil in the world.
Twin Star Exorcists is premiered last night and airs 10 p.m. every Wednesday.
Animax is seen on SKYCable Channel 46, Cignal Digital TV Channel 34 and Dream Channel 07.
