Discover the extraordinary with Animax this April!


This April, be dazzled by the fantastical with two same-day-as-Japan simulcast series premiering on Animax!  Both series will be available in localized subtitles for the enjoyment of anime fans across Asia.
Even the ordinary can become heroes in My Hero Academia (Season 2)!
The highly rated My Hero Academia series returns for a power-packed second season, premiering on Animax on the same day as Japan this April!  The young, idealistic Izuku Midoriya dreams of becoming a hero even though he was born without a “quirk”, which is a superpower that the majority of the population develops.  His life changes in a chance encounter with his idol and top hero All Might, who decides to share his power with Izuku.  With his newfound superpower, Izuku begins to attend a high school for budding heroes and finally embarks on his lifelong dream to become a hero himself.
My Hero Academia (Season 2) premieres on 1 April, every Saturday at 10pm on the same day as Japan.  



Dreams really do come true in Alice & Zouroku!
Adventure awaits when grumpy old man meets nonsensical young girl!  Based on an award-winning manga series by Tetsuya Imai, Alice & Zouroku revolves around main character Sana, a member of a group of young girls who possess a mysterious power known as “Alice’s Dream”, which gives them the ability to turn their thoughts into reality.  These girls are locked away in secret so they can be experimented on.  However, Sana manages to escape one day and encounters a stubborn old man Zouroku, who intensely dislikes disruptions to his orderly life.  Will life ever return to normal for Zouroku with a girl like Sana around?
Alice & Zouroku premieres on 2 April, every Sunday at 11pm on the same day as Japan.



Apart from the two highly anticipated simulcast series, viewers can also enjoy whimsical comedy series This Art Club Has a Problem! and action-packed mecha series Gyrozetter on Animax in April.  
The former series follows along the adventures of middle schooler Mizuki as she attempts to play her part as a member of the art club, with just one problem – she’s the only member who actually seems interested in art!  Surrounded by outrageous fellow club members and distracted by her crush on one of the other members, can Mizuki continue to pursue her passion for her craft?  
Based on a manga series, which was also adapted into a video game, the latter series Gyrozetter features an alternate version of 21st century Japan, in which cars have been equipped with artificial intelligence.  As a student training to operate these cars, fifth-grader Kakeru is one day assigned to the transforming robot known as Gyrozetter.  Together with other specially selected drivers, he must now use Gyrozetter to save the world from the evil organization Xenon.
This Art Club Has a Problem! premieres on 11 April, every Monday and Tuesday at 8pm, with two episodes back-to-back.  Gyrozetter premieres on 19 April, every Monday to Friday at 5.30pm.

Blockbuster anime series My Hero Academia & Twin Stars Exorcists to air in Asia on the same day as Japan!

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 it premieres in Japan! 

First to premiere on Animax last April 3 is My Hero Academia, the first-ever television anime adaptation of the wildly popular Weekly Shonen Jump manga will deliver 13 episodes of superhero action and comedy.  Set in a world where a majority of the population possess superpowers, the anime will tell the tale of 15-year-old Izuku Midoriya, who was born without any powers, as he 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 every Sunday at 8pm.
Also premiering on the same day as Japan is the action-packed Twin Star Exorcists.  Helmed by 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 will follow 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 set to premiere on 6 April, airing every Wednesday at 10pm.
Animax is seen on SKYCable Channel 46, Cignal Digital TV Channel 34 and Dream Channel 07.
