Studio Bones Original: A 2-Cour Run by 2028
The modern anime industry overwhelmingly favors single-cour (10-13 episode) formats to mitigate risk. This prediction states that the renowned Studio Bones, known for high-quality originals, will produce a **new original TV series** that runs for **two consecutive cours (24-26 episodes)**, debuting before the end of 2028.
Betting on Quality
The narrow **'Yes'** lead is based on Studio Bones's history of high-profile original hits like *Eureka Seven*, *Darker than Black*, and *Space Dandy*, all of which received multi-cour runs or special formats. A two-cour original series represents a major, confident investment, typically used when the creative vision requires a longer runtime to build its world. While rare, Bones is one of the few studios with the reputation, infrastructure (multiple dedicated sub-studios), and track record to secure the necessary funding and production schedule for such a large-scale, high-risk original project within the next three years.
