The official website of the new Bem anime series announced a film titled Bem: Become Human on Tuesday, scheduled to open in Fall 2020. The film's website revealed a teaser visual (pictured) and a teaser trailer.

Katsuyuki Konishi (Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi), M.A.O (Mao Ichimichi) (Jitsu wa Watashi wa), and Kensho Ono (Hakyuu Houshin Engi) are reprising their roles from the television anime as Bem, Bela, and Belo, respectively.

Staff
Director: Hiroshi Ikehata (Mahoujin Guruguru (2017), Murenase! Seton Gakuen)
Script: Atsuhiro Tomioka (Bem, Mix)
Original Character Design: Range Murata (Last Exile, Cop Craft)
Character Design: Mino Matsumoto (Junketsu no Maria animation director, Psycho-Pass 3: First Inspector prop design)

The new Bem anime series, which commemorates the franchise's 50th anniversary, premiered in 12 episodes last Summer. Funimation simulcast the anime with subtitles and also streamed an English dub. The company released the show on Blu-ray on April 28.

The original Youkai Ningen Bem (Humanoid Monster Bem) anime aired in 26 episodes from 1968–1969. Studio Comet produced a reboot of the original in Winter 2006. A gag spin-off titled Oretacha Youkai Ningen by DLE debuted in Fall 2017, which was followed by a second season in Spring 2018.

Can't say I'm ecstatic over this but I'm very much hoping that this will at least be a lot better than the dull tv series.

Congratulations to the Franchise for the half century!

Well this is quite surprising. The last year's show wasn't good. Now this time it's new and better studio and staff so it will probably be a lot better. Will check it out.

Despite the weak narrative and bland execution, it had several interesting concepts. I hope they develop it more, maybe even reach the high standards of the modern art-creation. Definitely endorsed by me.

Another one already? The teaser doesn't show much, but the animation looks a bit better than the last Bem.

I thought the TV anime was very disappointing, but I want to give them a second chance for sure.

IG is flop this days. BEM anime series is trash and they gave it a movie. What a waste of resources.

This is what Production IG thinks they should spend their resources on? Really?
