My Hero Academia
You can stream My Hero Academia's first season on Crunchyroll, Hulu, Netflix, and iQ. Crunchyroll is the standard go-to and generally carries both the original Japanese audio with subtitles and the English dub; Hulu and Netflix are alternatives depending on your region, and iQ is the option across parts of Asia. This is the 2016 debut season from studio Bones that kicked off the entire My Hero Academia franchise.
About
In the world of this series, having a superpower is ordinary rather than exceptional: the vast majority of people develop a personal ability — known as a 'Quirk' — while they're still young. That single premise reshapes society, turning professional heroism into a respected career and filling specialized academies like U.A. High with students training to become licensed heroes. Izuku Midoriya, though, belongs to the small minority born with no power at all, which makes his lifelong dream of becoming a hero look impossible to nearly everyone around him. What he does have is an encyclopedic devotion to the world's number-one hero, All Might — and when the two finally cross paths, that admiration earns him a real shot at the future he'd been told was off-limits. At its core, this opening season is a classic underdog origin story, balancing earnest, heartfelt coming-of-age beats with the bright, high-energy superhero action the franchise is known for.

Seasons & Watch Order
My Hero Academia is best watched in release order, and this first season is the front door — no prior viewing needed, so start right here. From here you continue straight into Boku no Hero Academia 2nd Season, which picks the story up where this run leaves off. The rescue-training side story and the Vigilantes spin-off sit outside the main timeline, so save them for whenever you want extra time in the world; neither is required to follow the central plot.
