After a bit of a false start, the "My Hero Academia" anime adaptation has finally been confirmed.
But now the question is, when will the series premiere?
Unfortunately, there still is not an official "My Hero Academia" anime release date. Fans however are offered the news that Studio Bones will handle the animation production for the series. The official key art for the anime series was also revealed today, available to view above.
In response to the Studio Bones news, fans in an ANN forum are now concerned that because the manga doesn't have that many chapters out, there will be an anime original ending.
"With only 65 chapters of manga content, I wonder if Bones will go the route of anime-original ending or only adapt the current material into 25-26 episodes," said Jermoeskee.
Other fans are merely happy that Studio Bones will likely provide very solid animation.
"Concrete Revolutio gives me confidence that Bones can do this justice in the animation/looks department," said Mr Adventure.
"My Hero Academia" was originally a manga series by Kohei Horikoshi. The series is currently running in Weekly Shonen Jump. Viz Media is simultaneously publishing the chapters and released the first volume of the manga in August.
The story of "My Hero Academia" is described by My Anime List as follows:
"People are not born equal, a realization that 4-year-old Midoriya Izuku faced when bullied by his classmates who had unique special powers. Izuku was one of the rare cases where he was born with absolutely no unique powers. This did not stop Izuku from pursuing his dream, a dream of becoming a great hero like the legendary All-Might."
It goes on:
"To become the great hero he hopelessly wants to become, he now will join the ranks of one of the highest rated 'Hero Academies' in the country: Yueiko. With the help of his idol All-Might, will he be able to claim the ranks and become a true hero?"
