It has since then aired such anime as Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Second Season , Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood , Sengoku Basara Two , Star Driver , Blue Exorcist , Mobile Suit Gundam Age , Magi: The Kingdom of Magic , Space Battleship Yamato 2199 , Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic , Haikyu!! , The Seven Deadly Sins , The Heroic Legend of Arslan , Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans , My Hero Academia , The Heroic Legend of Arslan: Dust Storm Dance , The Seven Deadly Sins: Signs of Holy War , and the currently airing second season of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans .
