DUBAI: Japanese anime series ‘My Hero Academia’ released in the Middle East on June 8 dubbed in Arabic exclusively on Spacetoon’s online streaming service Spacetoon GO.

The series started broadcasting in Japan in April of 2016 and is based on Kohei Horikoshi’s superhero manga series. The story follows Izuku Midoriya, a boy born without superpowers in a world where they have become commonplace, but who still dreams of becoming a superhero himself. He is scouted by All Might, Japan’s greatest hero, who chooses Midoriya as his successor after recognizing his potential, and helps to enroll him in a prestigious high school for superheroes in training.
