The second season of the My Hero Academia anime series was produced by Bones and directed by Kenji Nagasaki. Like the first season, it adapts Kōhei Horikoshi's My Hero Academia manga from the rest of the third volume through the end of the eighth volume over 25 episodes, and follows the adventures of Izuku Midoriya.
The season originally ran from April 1 to September 30, 2017 on ytv in Japan, and Toho released the season on DVD and Blu-Ray in eight compilations, each containing two to four episodes, between July 19, 2017, and February 14, 2018. Funimation licensed the season for an English-language release in North America and released it in two compilations on April 3 and June 5, 2018. Eventually, their adaptation ran from August 11, 2018 to February 24, 2019 on Adult Swim's Toonami block.
The second season makes use of four pieces of theme music: two opening themes and two ending themes. The first opening theme, used for the first thirteen episodes, is "Peace Sign" (ピースサイン) performed by Kenshi Yonezu and the first ending theme is "Dakara, Hitori ja nai" (だから、ひとりじゃない lit. Therefore, I am not Alone), performed by Little Glee Monster. For the rest of the season, the second opening theme is "Sora ni Utaeba" (空に歌えば lit. If I Sing to the Sky) performed by amazarashi and the ending theme is "Datte Atashi no Hero" (だってアタシのヒーロー lit. Still My Hero) by LiSA.
