 An official website launched and announced a new Youkai Ningen Bem series.

| Surprisingly this seems pretty good. Looking forward. |
| I'd like to be able to be excited about this but the staff is not the best, the studio is questionable. I love Range Murata's designs but this project doesn't give me much confidence, I'll check it out whenever it airs. |
| :3 |
| For how much I like the murata art style, I don't see it fitting for the said series... |
 |
| Terrible looking staff, but who knows. There's always a chance that a series could mark that studio's time to shine. I'll watch the first episode or two and see what I think, but I'm not gonna say I'm exactly looking forward to it, lol. |

| So it's a revival of a 1960s series. Wouldn't know that from reading this article. |
 |
| I like the mood so far. |
| Just from the art it looks a lot more promising than whatever Oretacha Youkai Ningen was supposed to be. I hope it does well and maybe sparks some interest in fansubs for the older series. |
 |
 Interesting, Bella is Morgiana now lol |
 |
| More old series always welcome. |
| Range Murata!!!! Really looking forward to this just because of this fact. I know not to have high hopes, but at least there will be pretty designs to admire~ |
p r o f i l e 👀 |
| Another older franchise revived. Cool, will give it a try. |

bitchassdarius said: It is not related to Youkai Watch franchise.is this a spinoff of youkai watch shadow side or a sequel VyseLegendaire said: Because the source doesn't mention about "revival", just "brand new" anime. So it's a revival of a 1960s series. Wouldn't know that from reading this article. 完全新作アニメ |
