What time does My Hero Academia release on Crunchyroll & HIDIVE?

When does My Hero Academia come out in my timezone?

My Hero Academia (Weekly on Crunchyroll) releases on Crunchyroll & HIDIVE, and the time you actually see it depends entirely on where you are. Anime simulcasts unlock a set number of minutes after the Japanese TV broadcast, so the time tracks Tokyo, not Hollywood. The countdown above does the timezone math for you: pick your zone and it converts the platform’s release instant into your own wall-clock time, then ticks down to the second so you know exactly how long is left.

New episodes simulcast on Crunchyroll about 30 minutes after the Japanese broadcast each week.

How Crunchyroll & HIDIVE decides the release time

Anime simulcasts are timed to Japan, not Hollywood. A show airs on Japanese TV at a fixed Asia/Tokyo broadcast time each week, and the simulcast unlocks a set number of minutes later on Crunchyroll or HIDIVE. Japan does not observe daylight saving, so the Tokyo instant is stable year-round even as your own clocks change.

That is why two people watching My Hero Academia from different countries do not always see it appear at the same wall-clock time, and why “what time does My Hero Academia come out” has no single answer without your location. Instead of guessing, the converter above resolves the one underlying instant and projects it into your zone, handling daylight saving automatically, since the United States and Japan shift their clocks on different dates than Europe.

Reminders and the full Crunchyroll & HIDIVE rule

The “Add to calendar” button above downloads an .ics reminder for the next My Hero Academia drop with a one-hour heads-up, and it imports into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook in your own zone. A VPN will not move the unlock: the release is a single instant worldwide, and a VPN only changes which regional catalogue you can reach.
