Excluding its prequel spinoff and any potential films, 2024 will see Bones’ time with My Hero Academia finally come to an end after almost a decade. The manga, itself, has also been over for about a year now, so it makes sense for the anime to end, but its absence will nonetheless be felt from the moment it ends.

As sad as it will be to see the My Hero Academia anime end, that doesn’t mean Bones will be without any new anime to offer fans. The spring premiere of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is one thing, but beyond that, summer 2025 will see the premiere of Bones’ new anime, Gachiakuta, and despite being a new property, Gachiakuta is already set to be Bones’ next big hit and the ultimate replacement for My Hero Academia. There’s a lot that goes into why that is, and hopefully, it will more than live up to the hype.

Gachiakuta’s Anime Already Looks To Be The Perfect Adaptation Of The Manga

Why Gachiakuta's Anime Will Be Great

A major reason why Gachiakuta is already set to be a hit is because of how great its adaptation looks to be. At the time of writing, the most that’s been shown of Gachiakuta is a short teaser trailer, but even with that, ’s teaser trailer shows that the anime is already doing an incredible job of adapting Kei Urana’s artwork with its phenomenal artwork and animation. Series director Fumihiko Suganuma has made a name for himself on projects like Shirobako and Train to the End of the World, and their expertise is on full display with Gachiakuta.

The direction is another big part of why the adaptation is already set to be a success. It’s one thing for the art and animation to look good, but between the voice acting, Taku Iwasaki’s score, and what little has been seen of the choreography and overall direction, the anime is also doing a great job of capturing the signature ing and edgy writing style of the original manga, as well. Just from the teaser trailer, Gachiakuta clearly understands what makes the original manga special, and it will be great to see that play out in full this July.

Gachiakuta’s Popularity As A Manga Will Make Its Anime A Hit

Why Gachiakuta's Manga Is So Good

The biggest reason why Gachiakuta’s anime is all but guaranteed to be a success is because of the manga. While anime adaptations are how many casual viewers are introduced to new stories, that doesn’t mean their original manga were irrelevant beforehand, as the anime adaptations that get the most hype from fans and critics alike are usually based on some of the most popular manga in the world at the time. Anime like Jujutsu Kaisen, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, and, of course, My Hero Academia are prime examples of this, and that idea isn’t going to go away anytime soon.

All of that, of course, is why Gachiakuta will be a hit. While it’s only been around for a few years, Gachiakuta's manga has quickly become a major hit with fans and critics alike thanks to its fun cast of heroes and villains, engaging mystery plot and worldbuilding, and its all-around gorgeous artwork and fight choreography. The pre-established success of Gachiakuta’s manga already gives the anime a massive pre-established fanbase, and both the anime and the manga are certain to benefit plenty from that.

Why Gachiakuta Needs To Become The Next Big Thing

There's So Much Riding On Gachiakuta Being Big

There are plenty of reasons behind why Gachiakuta will become a success, but what matters the most is why that even matters. For starters, with My Hero Academia ending, there’s going to be a clear void not just in Bones’ lineup, but the anime world, as a whole, and something will need to fill it sooner, rather than later. As such, Gachiakuta getting an anime makes it primed to fill the inevitable void My Hero Academia will leave in the anime world, and even if it can’t do it on its own, it will nonetheless help move the process along.

More than that, of course, is Gachiakuta just being a good story. Between its incredible artwork and fight scenes and the stellar writing ing it all, there are few modern manga right now that are doing what Gachiakuta is doing, so Gachiakuta needs to become the next big thing to help a wider audience see just how great its story is. There are plenty of reasons to be excited about Gachiakuta, even without taking My Hero Academia’s imminent conclusion into , and hopefully, it will more than live up to the hype.
