Crunchyroll to simulcast My Hero Academia, Monster Strike Season 2 this spring

We reported at the start of the month on FunimationNow's plans to stream the second season of hot spring season series My Hero Academia in the UK - however, if you're not a subscriber to that service then fear not, as both seasons of the show will also be landing on Crunchyroll in subtitled form.

Indeed, you can catch up on all of the first season of My Hero Academia on the service right now, while season two will see its first episode arrive on the same page from Saturday, 1st April, with new episodes arriving weekly.

If you're unfamiliar with the show, Crunchyroll describes it thus:

Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies.

Another title confirmed for UK streaming is Monster Strike 2nd Season, episode 0 of which is available right now on the service. Here's the blurb on the show:

Monsters are just a daily fixture of life these days. Ren, Aoi, Akira, and Minami have taken it upon themselves to clear the neighborhood of violent monsters. Days pass, until a transfer student from America, Mana Livingston, appears in their class. Mana quickly becomes a friend as the gang bond over their monsters.

But a creeping shadow begins to lurk in the darkness, a harbinger of the danger to come. A new chapter of Monster Strike is about to be written!

Alongside this major news, Crunchyroll has also announced some of their other spring season simulcasts, albeit without territory details at this time so we'll have to wait with bated breath for news of UK availabillity. Thus far, the following titles have been confirmed:
