To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Youkai Ningen Bem property, a new short-form anime was announced recently with Oretacha Youkai Ningen. Originally a twenty-six episode back in 1968 that had a 2006 adaptation and some live-action material, the new short is directed by Jou Adachi and comes from DLE and is scheduled to debut on October 4th, 2017. Ahead of that, DLE has now brought out the first two promotional videos for it that gives us a good look at the style and intent of the project.
The Japanese cast includes:
- Tomokazu Sugita as Bem
- Kana Kurashina as Bera
- Kenta Suga as Bero
Property Concept: Three monsters, Bem, who looks like a gangster, Bero, who looks like a boy, and Bera, a witch, act as agents of justice, hoping that they will be allowed to become human. Several episodes involve them protecting a young boy. The style of animation is fairly distinctive, and the storylines not without interest.
