If you are not familiar with Studio Bones, the studio was founded in October 1998 by Miami, Hiroshi Osaka, and Toshihiro Kawamoto. The trio kicked off the studio by assisting Sunrise with Cowboy Bebop: Knocking’ on Heaven’s Door. Tragically, Osaka passed away in 2007 after a battle with cancer, leaving his co-founders to push Studio Bones into what we know today. From Mob Psycho 100 to Noragami and Space Dandy, Bones has a slew of impressive titles under its belt. It is known best for producing global hits like My Hero Academia as well as Wolf’s Rain and both anime adaptations of Fullmetal Alchemist.
