3 Seasons

Academia is a popular anime series that first aired in 2015. The show centers around a young boy named Tsubasa who enrolls in the prestigious Cherryton Academy. Cherryton Academy is an elite all-boys private school that prides itself on shaping the leaders of tomorrow.

When Tsubasa first arrives at Cherryton, he feels out of place among all the wealthy and refined students. Tsubasa comes from a modest background and had to work hard to earn a scholarship to attend the exclusive academy. Despite feeling intimidated, Tsubasa is determined to fit in and make the most of this opportunity.

On his first day, Tsubasa meets his energetic roommate Daichi. Daichi comes from an influential family within the school but unlike the other snobbish students, he takes an immediate liking to Tsubasa. The two become fast friends and Daichi helps introduce Tsubasa to the rest of the first-years.

Tsubasa also catches the attention of the Legends - the three most popular and talented students at Cherryton. The Legends are practically royalty at the academy and take an interest in Tsubasa after witnessing his kind heart and strong morality.

Throughout the first season, Tsubasa tries to find his place among the elite students of Cherryton while staying true to his humble roots. He navigates sophisticated tea parties, difficult classes, competitive school clubs, and new friendships.

With Daichi and the Legends by his side, Tsubasa gains confidence and begins to thrive academically and socially. He joins the school's soccer team and discovers he has an athletic talent that earns him the respect of his peers.

However, Cherryton has many long-standing traditions and hierarchies that Tsubasa struggles to fit into. The privileged students look down on scholarship students like Tsubasa as outsiders. Tsubasa faces discrimination and bullying from elite cliques, leading him to question whether he really belongs at such a high-society institution.

Nonetheless, Tsubasa remains committed to proving himself and changing minds at Cherryton. As he becomes more involved with the Legends, Tsubasa learns there is more to the prestigious trio than meets the eye. They each face pressures from family to live up to expectations and hide parts of their true personalities.

The first season follows Tsubasa's eventful first year. He grows enormously as a person, makes true friends, and discovers his self-confidence. However, many challenges still remain for Tsubasa and his friends as Cherryton continues to test them in new ways.

The anime portrays the all-too relatable struggles of a modest boy finding his place among the elite. While grounded in the specific setting of a prestigious boys academy, its universal themes of friendship, self-discovery, and overcoming social barriers resonate with viewers of all backgrounds. Fans praise Academia for blending light-hearted school life moments with dramatic character growth.

With vivid animation and a lively cast of characters, Academia stands out as a top-tier anime of 2015. The show garnered excellent viewership and ratings during its initial broadcast. A second season soon followed that expanded on the relationships and stories of Tsubasa and his peers. Years later, Academia remains a favorite series for old and new anime fans alike.

Academia is a series that is currently running and has 3 seasons (60 episodes). The series first aired on February 5, 2015.
