Did the movie have something to do with the long wait, or perhaps they really want to make sure that they get things right for Season 4?

I believe sub-studio C did both the movie and the third season at the same time by splitting up staff (e.g. animation director Umakoshi did significantly less work on season 3 because he got tapped for the movie). But since both are finished, the sub-studio should be free to work on the fourth season at this point. My guess is that they have some other sort of HeroAca related side project (OVAs, maybe another movie) happening alongside season 4 production. It's also possible, though imo pretty unlikely that they have a non-HeroAca project in production or they're going to keep up the production pace on new episodes but delay the airing because of a possible timeslot conflict (is there any precedent for this? I'm pretty clueless about the airing schedules in Japan)

That's a long ass time. Maybe, hopefully, Season 4 is the advent of a 3 Cour season? Not that it needs it, but man does the anime need to play catch up to the Manga. With October 2019 and possibly only 2 cours again, Season 5 would be starting with chapter 190 or so while the mang will be somwhere in the mid 300, god willing no breaks.

Yeah, I don't think I'll be able to wait that long, last season stopped at volume 14, by the time this comes out volume 21 will probably be officially released in English.

I'm curious how more casual fans react to the series considering it kind of goes downhill after All For One is taken down.

They need six extra months just to create:

The ground level fight with Uraraka, Tsuyu, Nejire and Ryuko vs the member of Overhaul's squad

Long as hell wait, but I hope it'll improve the animation, and add a bunch of stuff because that arc sure as hell needs it. Imo.

FUCKING OCTOBER???? ARE YOU SHITTING ME?


Okay yeah fuck that. I am gonna read the Manga. I was willing to wait for the next season if it was a reasonable wait, but an entire year between seasons? No fucking thank you. I will just read the manga and then go from there.

Damn, that's pretty far away. :/

Oh well. There's a lot of anime to look forward to next year other than that.

So glad I started reading the manga a few weeks back, because that's a wait.

I'm also expecting them to end after Gentle. Wonder how the "Making the Band" episodes will work.

There is a different anime (Mix) airing in its usual timeslot this spring, so this makes sense.

I'm cool with it. I'm mostly just a manga reader at this point anyway for anything that isn't Jojo.

Sad about the wait, but didn't the writer say he also wanted to improve the next arc in the anime version due to the manga version having issues? Or am I misremembering

HeroAca season 4 airing in October 2019 is such a fantastic news. One full year for the staff to work on it before it goes on-air. The payoff should be awesome if everything goes right.

Looks like there may be no other projects for sub-studio C after all and the later airing will give them a really healthy planning and production schedule.

Maybe I will have to read the Manga, thats a hell of a wait. I haven't even seen the movie yet, the closest theater was like a 100 miles away and I couldn't make it to the limited screenings. I wonder if it will ever go up on Funimation Now.

Oh I'm gonna crack. Pipboy dude has me way too curious about the rest of that arc. Lets hope AOT S3 and One Punch S2 keep me from going overboard towards the manga boat.

I'm fine with the wait, give the animators as much time they need to get Tintin done right.

Kinda worried about this one, the manga version of the upcoming arc had a terrible pacing, boring villains, so i hope the anime can fix some of these issues, but i'm not holding my breath on it.
