Bones, the acclaimed studio behind the popular anime series My Hero Academia, has announced an exciting expansion that hints at significant developments for the future of the studio.
Since its debut in 2016, My Hero Academia has maintained its status as one of the leading anime series currently airing. The immense popularity of Deku and Class 1-A has propelled Bones into a significant player within the anime industry.
The studio has produced a vast array of anime shows throughout the years, leading to the formation of multiple internal teams. Recently, Bones has introduced another division dedicated exclusively to anime films, indicating ambitious plans ahead.
This new entity is named Bones Films, and their official announcement expresses their hopes for continued support from fans. Bones Films officially launched on October 1, 2024, although no specific projects have been revealed as of yet.
While details about this new team’s projects remain unclear, their timing is promising. The conclusion of My Hero Academia Season 7 is imminent, as the series is transitioning into the Final War Saga where Deku and his allies face off against Shigaraki and All For One for a decisive battle.
Could My Hero Academia take inspiration from successes like Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle and opt for a cinematic approach in these final arcs? To date, the franchise has produced four films, including the upcoming My Hero Academia: You’re Next, but these have generally been categorized as sort-of-canon spin-offs, a common trend for many anime films.
The adaptation of the dramatic, climactic conflict from Kohei Horikoshi’s manga onto the big screen could provide the spectacular experience that fans desire. Alternatively, this expansion may simply allow Bones to diversify its projects now that My Hero Academia is approaching its conclusion, enabling them to explore new films and uncover the next big hit.
Regardless, this represents an exhilarating opportunity for the future of anime.
