Bones is active on multiple projects: a My Hero Academia short film releasing in August 2026, a TV anime adaptation of Fate Rewinder premiering in April 2027 under the Bones Film label, and a newly drawn illustration for a My Hero Academia game's Switch 2 physical edition.
Bones remains a key production partner in the My Hero Academia franchise. At Anime Expo 2026, the studio premiered a 6-minute short film, My Hero Academia: I am a Hero Too, featuring an older Eri as a high schooler with her own street band. The short uses a watercolor art style and a cover of the song Hero Too. It releases worldwide on August 3, 2026. Bones also contributed a newly drawn illustration of Izuku Midoriya and Tomura Shigaraki for the physical edition of the fighting game My Hero Academia: All's Justice on Nintendo Switch 2, which launches September 3 in Japan.
Beyond the My Hero Academia universe, Bones Film is producing a television anime adaptation of Futa Kimura's manga Fate Rewinder. The series, directed by Rie Matsumoto and written by Kimiko Ueno, premieres in April 2027 on TV Asahi's ImAnimation block. Crunchyroll will stream the series. The story follows Chrono, a boy whose right eye contains a time-rewinding power, as he works with a special time police unit. The cast includes Shō Komura as Chrono, Kōki Uchiyama as Shirai, Kōhei Amasaki as Akaba, and Reina Ueda as Lemon. The manga has twelve compiled volumes as of April 2026; Yen Press will release the first English volume in October 2026.
These projects show Bones working across different media-short-form animation, television series, and game illustration-while continuing to support the My Hero Academia franchise and expanding into new adaptations like Fate Rewinder. The Fate Rewinder project marks a notable shift for Bones Film, bringing in director Rie Matsumoto, whose prior work was at Toei Animation and Studio Colorido.
