Excluding its prequel spinoff and any potential films, 2024 will see Bones’ time withMy Hero Academiafinally come to an end after almost a decade. The manga, itself, has also been over for about a year now, so it makes sense for the anime to end, but its absence will nonetheless be felt from the moment it ends.
As sad as it will be to see theMy Hero Academiaanime end, that doesn’t mean Bones will be without any new anime to offer fans. The spring premiere ofthe prequel spinoffMy Hero Academia: Vigilantesis one thing, but beyond that, summer 2025 will see the premiere of Bones’ new anime,Gachiakuta, and despite being a new property,Gachiakutais already set to be Bones’ next big hit and the ultimate replacement forMy Hero Academia. There’s a lot that goes into why that is, and hopefully, it will more than live up to the hype.
