In 2024, BONES' original anime,Metallic Rougeaired during the Winter season. The 2020s have been very busy for the production studio, with various films and TV anime released in that time, and the highly anticipatedanime adaptation of Kei Urana’sGachiakutacoming in 2025.

It would be major cause for celebration if the aforementioned were in fact the case, but for now, we can only hope.
My Hero Academia
Cast
In My Hero Academia, some humans have superpowers called quirks. Izuku Midoriya, nicknamed Deku, is not one of them. Deku has always idolized heroes like the number one hero, All Might, and since he was a child, he has always wanted to be a hero. However, his lack of a quirk has always held him back, but a chance encounter with All Might after discovering a classmate in danger sets Deku on the path to becoming a true hero. My Hero Academia centers around Deku and a class of heroes-in-training at UA. This school shapes young quirk users into future heroes through fake rescue missions, combat training, and other hero-tempering tasks. With young Deku inheriting the “One-For-All” quirk, he will learn what it means to be a true hero while facing off with dastardly supervillains.
