After 33 long years, Akuma-kun is back to save the world. Shigeru Mizuki's beloved manga is being brought to life once again in a new Netflix original anime series. The series is set to premiere this fall, and fans couldn't be more excited to see their favourite characters in action once again.
New Story, Same Characters
The latest anime series takes place three decades after the original storyline. Yuko Mita and Toshio Furukawa are reprising their roles to voice Akuma I / Shingo Umoregi and Mephisto II, with Furukawa also voicing Mephisto III. Yuuki Kaji has been cast as the protagonist, Akuma II / Ichirō Umoregi. In this new narrative, Akuma-kun endeavours to establish a society where humanity can reach its full potential and live contentedly, assisted by some unexpected comrades.
A Part of Four "Big Projects"
As a commemoration of Shigeru Mizuki's 100-year anniversary since birth, the new anime series is one of four "big projects." Despite the legendary manga artist passing away in 2015 at the age of 93, his work continues to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide. Along with the anime series, another project, the Kitaro Tanjo: Gegege no Nazo (Kintaro Birth: The Mystery of Gegege) anime film, will also open in the fall.
A Talented Team Behind the Scenes
