To be honest, I want Bones to do Neverland, Kimetsu no Yaiba and Fire Force. But I guess miracles like those don't happen, right? xD

The thing is, Bones can't only do MHA, they like doing other exciting and promising Shounen adaptations, so hopefully Neverland, Kimetsu or Fire Force end up in their hands, at least one of them. The CEO of Bones said that they're dedicated to making MHA a long running project, so they're not stopping unless the production committees stop funding the show or if they catch up with the source material. MHA was also their first adaptation of a WSJ title, so maybe this has opened up a new gate for them in terms of opportunities for the studio.

Well second series. They did FMA and FMAb.

But yea them doing all 3 would be pretty amazing. I really really want to see them do Fire Force lol.

I will be mad if they don't get Fire Force. Kodansha, please don't screw this up, I'm really afraid it will end up in A1 Pictures's hands and they will ruin it and they will not be able to do the manga's amazing art justice.

Toei doesn't seem to make anything new anymore (besides that CG anime they did in the spring totally out of the blue), so as long as Pierrot or some other bad studio doesn't touch this I'd be excited about an anime.

Wit and Bones would be okay choices (Wit in general does great work but Kabeneri was a let down) and I'd also be okay to see Madhouse's name of this. Kinema Citrus, who did Made in Abyss, are pretty hit-or-miss as a studio, but I wouldn't freak out if they attached their name to this.

Madhouse have fallen a lot over the last few years, unfortunately. I'd be OK with them only if they had a great staff to work with.

Toei did do World Trigger no too long ago,so they still are somewhat of a threat to new and promising Jump titles.

FMA/FMAb don't belong to Weekly Shonen Jump though, they belong to Monthly Shonen Gangan.

As for me, I'm not caught up on The Promised Neverland but regardless of what studio gets the hypothetical (and yet still quite inevitable) anime, I'll be happy to support it.

Woh you are right...I don't know why I was so convinced it was a wsj title. I blame VIZ for tricking my mind. Apologies for the mistake.

I would prefer that BONES focus on MHA if they adapt a WSJ title for now. Else if they were to do another one I would prefer Kimetsu over PNL. Action is their forte.

Also I need them to do Fire Force!

When did the head of bones say that? Everytime I ask people for proof that the head of bones said that, they offer up no evidence.

Seems like people came across much stronger than he did in his statement which just seemed to be he hopes to keep making it, vs being dedicated and not ever stopping.

Seems like a dedicated project to me, if they're already doing a season 3 for it, which does not happen for Bones shows, ever.

In the age of e-manga, this is actually a very good print figure! Congratulations.

Madhouse and the Death Note directors should gather together to do the adaptation for the anime. It's kind of an obvious choice to me with the kind of manga The Promised Neverland is.

Congrats on 2 million. I wonder if this will get animated now.
