There is an urban legend that children tell one another about a shinigami that can release people from the pain they may be suffering. This "Angel of Death" has a name—Boogiepop. And the legends are true. Boogiepop is real.

Those jaws though...

All that sakuga on the preview.

I hope that it's not the only thing gluing this adaptation together.

Wait, what? THE Boogiepop? I thought the name was just a coincidence! And that preview looks awesome! I'M IN! Also, old OP started playing in my head the moment I processed the news.

I love the timeline we are living in.

ブギーポップ in world trends, lol.

The 3rd episode of the original 2000s series have had one of the must fucked up endings ever. That shit forever haunted my nightmares.
Original TV series was my first time I have heard Mamiko Noto, I think it was her debut role as a seiyuu iirc, and Kaori Shimizu.

Aoi Yuuki as Touka / Boogiepop?

Wow, sign me in!!

darkchibi07 · 2018-03-10, 07:24

No wonder One Punch Man S2 is not done by Shingo Natsume and his crew. They're working on this!

Applehell · 2018-03-10, 09:14

Definitely not the name I'd thought hear again. Really looking forward to this!

Fevvers · 2018-03-10, 10:45

Oh, wow! Who would have thought! And that sakuga... ��

That's true.

Cosmic Eagle · 2018-03-10, 21:38

Oh my, it's back. Very unexpected but great news all the same (Madhouse too...)

serenade_beta · 2018-03-14, 02:31

To be fair, I recently heard Boogiepop when the illustrator worked on Xenoblade 2.

That said, dang... Didn't expect another adaption of this.
Though I've forgotten what is is about. Read a few volumes, but haven't followed after those. It never hurts to get more acknowledgement of the series, though. (Though it must still be popular enough to still be ongoing?)

PS: Oh, I just checked, but the original LN completed in the first volume of the same title and the other volumes with different titles are like spinoffs. So I guess this is the animation of that one volume?

Not necessarily. Hyouka anime from KyoAni is adapted from Kotenbu novel series where the title of its first volume is Hyouka while the other volumes are named differently but they still ended up adapting several volumes of Kotenbu series instead of just the first volume (Hyouka). The same thing could be happening here.

No, the original LN is still on going.
Currently 21 volumes.

From the PV, they are covering vol.2&3, the Imaginenator arc.

If the anime is going to be 12 ep.
Then I hope they spend everything on the Imaginenator arc, working out every little detail to perfect it instead of trying to cover more volumes.
If they have 24 ep. then I hope they work on the Distortion King arc as well.

Ahhh, I can't wait for them to reveal who is going to do Minahoshi's voice.

Technically, the 2000 anime is an after story of vol.1 and vol.6

Except I heard that at least some of the PV's content was PV-only (like that fire guy).
Not that I have a source, but that is what I heard.

I admit, that anime is irrelevant to me so I have no idea what Kotenbu is or what Hyouka consists of.
Except that meme thing about the teacher scolding the class for playing instruments badly......... Though as I type this message, I realize that is a different Kyoani anime. All of their anime these days look the same.

It could be anime-original or simply content from one of the novels that haven't been translated.
