I wonder how far Bones' MHA is going to go; I don't see them doing the whole manga.

I don't think it's been mentioned before, but according to ANN, the Saiki sequel 4-koma is starting on March 5th.

The issue also stated that the manga's fifth anniversary "isn't over," and that Asō is launching a four-panel sequel manga in Weekly Shonen Jump's 14th issue on March 5.

Why wouldn't they adapt the whole manga as long as it's successful and growing? L

Because even Brotherhood, which was considerably more successful and popular than MHA will ever be, only got 64 episodes? Bones isn't Toei or Pierrot.

Toho Producer Okamura Wakana in this interview said that she wants to make the Heroaca anime so that the kids that are watching the anime now can still watch it when they grow up. She wants to continue it for the next 10 years.

Anything can happen but I would say it's likely for them to do the whole manga.

 

[nonowa]

I don't see Bones giving MHA more than the 114 episodes that FMA got; another studio could always take over the series, like it happened to One Punch Man, which is considerably more popular than MHA as well.

Because he says so apparently.

Madhouse has more titles to focus on and/or they probably couldn't rally up Shingo Natsume's connections for S1 which is why they probably handed it off to JC Staff.

Who cares though, they're doing Cardcaptor Sakura which will always be more successful than OPM.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn got over 200 episodes of anime. Was it more successful than FMA?

Well, before MHA, Bones had also never worked with a WSJ title. Things may be changing.

......No but FMA was a finished manga and it wasn't seasonal lol. Your logic doesn't make sense. If a product is growing and becoming more popular you're not gonna stop because "Oh we didn't give Fullmetal Alchemist more than 64 episodes, let's just stop here in the middle of the manga".

 

[shoyoboyo]

I understand where you guys are coming from, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ended after the third season, because that's when the "big fight" will most likely be animated.

Soul Eater tho...

S3 is hyped more than anything else and coming from S2's huge success, why would they end if after S3? It doesn't make sense.

Toho producer already said she wanted to work on MHA for 10 years too.

Toho owns Bones?

Reborn was a cheap long-running shounen by Artland; it's production values weren't comparable to MHA's.

Nope but it's one of the producers?

How do you know it's a cheap long running shonen? Cost more or less the same per episode. It's like how people thought OPM was expensive (or UBW) but people think great animation/art is a result of budget when it's really not. Most animes have more or less the same budget per episode.

 

[nonowa]

Bones is an studio with artistic aspirations, they produce plenty of original anime and prestige projects and have a variety of very talented animators and directors working for them. I'm certain Nagasaki and Umakoshi aren't interested in working on MHA for the next 6 years. I guess there is a possibility they could change the staff but keep the production at Bones like with Kekkai Sensen, but that's still a downgrade.

You're right, it's not about budget. It's about if talented people, like Umakoshi, want to stay for 6 years or more working in MHA. Even One Piece has experienced multiple staff shakes up. Toho can always make a different studio, or a different staff, continue MHA.

And you don't seem to understand how anime production works. Bones doesn't pay any money themselves to produce the anime. They get a budget from the production committee, which usually consists of the publisher of the manga/light novel, a music company and other additional companies for example Pizza Hut for Code Geass or Dr. Pepper for Steins;Gate. Basically these companies invest money in the anime and gain it back afterwards. Usually Shueisha is in the committee of every Shounen Jump anime. They get the budget they invest in the anime back through the increased manga sales.

That's also the reason why a lot of anime aren't continued anymore at some point. The manga sales are dropping a lot and the anime doesn't boost them anymore.

Or the reason why a lot of anime don't get a new season after they're already over is because there's no manga sales to boost anymore. So a lot of last seasons are usually adapted around the time the manga ends to make the anime boost the sales of the last manga volume. This happened for Bakuman, Kuroko no Basuke and Assassination Classroom for example.

So basically, Bones doesn't need to pay any money for the anime itself. The only income they make are probably home video sales and maybe some other stuff. If they had to pay for production themselves, nearly all studios would be bankrupt by now, because home video sales usually are pretty low in most cases.

So as long as Shueisha requests a new season from Bones, they will most likely make it. I mean they have one of their 5 substudios completely dedicated to MHA right now and their best animator (Yutaka Nakamura) is also working on it. Why should they suddenly stop adapting the manga after Season 3?
