Beta Heroes (2020 anime)

Beta Heroes is an American-Japanese animated series produced by Studio Aura, Silver Warrior Animation, Beta Cartoon, Firebasket Concepts, and Firebasket Japan. It will be animated at Studio Aura's primary animation studio, as well as Studio Bones. Sparkle Project and Beta Cartoon Animation will aid in supporting the animation.

Development
Zachary Jordan had been in talks with various Japanese producers and animators until he met Ide Kado and Yanagimoto Ryozo. Both of them were pretty excited about Jordan wanting to produce a Beta Heroes anime series. Kado and Ryozo would call up Studio Aura and Aura accepted the proposal to produce the series.

Zachary Jordan and Yanagimoto Ryozo would collaborate on working with a show bible during the summer of 2019. Production officially started in the winter of 2019.

A second season was announced by Zachary Jordan in December 2021 with a teaser trailer. The opening theme was revealed to be Happy Ending by Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. The show will start airing in July 2022 with 24 half hour episodes.

Production
During the coronavirus outbreak, Acesky All-Digital helped animate the show while also aiding animators at Bones and Aura with working from home. Starting on June 3rd, a few animators would return to the studios to work on the show.

Studio Bones were almost reluctant to work on the show because fans of their work would immediately compare Heroes and My Hero Academia. Jordan and Kado both persuaded the studio to join the project after saying that fans wouldn't mind and it would help Bones be used for more projects by SurgeAnime.
