The official anime website of Boku no Hero Academia (My Hero Academia) has announced that the series will be animated by Bones (known for Fullmetal Alchemist and Noragami). A key visual was also revealed.

Kouhei Horikoshi's superhero manga, Boku no Hero Academia, has been serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump since July 2014. The manga currently has five compiled volumes in Japan, with the sixth being released tomorrow.

Synopsis
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. 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?

Good news for the fans.

I have faith in Bones to turn out something good. I hope it'll be good, but the synopsis doesn't really peak my interest, though I've heard good things about this series.

Definitely going to end with an anime original ending. I still wonder if it may be a 2 cour but that is likely as well.

I really thought Lerche would pick this up. I'm still happy this gets an anime adaption nonetheless, I just hope we won't see another anime original ending.

This is good for the anime's animation quality at least. Bones has been on roll this year.

How many chapters does BHA have?

I actually wasn't expecting Pierrot or Toei to do this, but I'm glad we've got confirmation now.

Just hoping they don't do an anime original ending or anything of the sort.

It's at 64 or 65 chapters if I'm not mistaken, I'm still not caught up but I think it's around there.

I'm happy about this, I mean I'm completely Bones biased but for good reason.
this could end up being a favourite of mine, I'll be interested to see how they handle it though.

Eh? This will be a hit or miss. I'm certainly expecting an anime original. Bones is decent, the only masterpiece they've made was FMA:B.

Noragami is great too (but season 1 had an anime original). Whatever, mixed feelings about this one.

Bones ain't a consistently good studio but hey better than Toei or Pierrot atleast.

Now it's up to the source material to not be complete shit [s]though doubtful of that.

Boku no Hero is decent. It really doesn't have an actual plot yet tbh. But it has some cool characters with good development, fights, unique powers, etc

Don't expect anything "OMFG" amazing.

Wtf? Really? My "hit or miss" statement just went down the shitter. This will most likely be a miss. I'm worried now.

Edit: Actually nope. It was Bones who animated FMAB. Just looked it up.

at least it's not pierrot or toei. actually hoping sunrise or IG production for this series TBH.

i don't mind original ending since the manga still don't has an arc that has conclusive endings (maybe hero killer arc ending is the best, but it's too rushed for 12 episode, and too slow for 24).

HUH? LOL..

Bones made both fma and fma:b, the latter being a remake of the original one.

I hope they don't screw this up with original anime ending...

Still better than Toei or Pierrot, that would have just ruined the series.

I'm just gonna go ahead and call that they won't make an original ending, odds and all. That'd be very nice. I'm hoping for a two cour, stop and continuation type.

In terms of visual, this may be good but nope. Madhouse rarely does sequel and if this is not an original end, then a sequel most likely not to appear and that's not a good thing for something like Boku no Hero Academia which still close to the starting point of the story.

Darker Than Black, Kekkai Sensen and Sword of the Stranger, just to name a few. Jyu Oh Sei is an underrated gem made by them and I'd have added Akagami and Xam'd if I had watched more episodes of either. You're really underrating Bones here.

Glad to hear this. At least we're saved from the likes of Toei, Pierrot or LIDENFILMS.

I'll be expecting anime-original contents and maybe even anime-original ending but I'm fine with that seeing how sequel-friendly their recent adaptations are. The chances for sequels are pretty good too as long as it's doing well enough.

inb4 original ending and BnHA Brotherhood. y u no do SE brotherhood ):

At least we are guaranteed a decent animation for BnHA, overall. Hopefully they adapt more than the typical 2 cours. Longer run could only benefit the series.
