The official website for the television anime of author Kouhei Kadono and illustrator Kouji Ogata's Boogiepop and Others (Boogiepop wa Warawanai) revealed on Friday that the anime will premiere in January 2019. The new anime will feature a new voice cast from the previous 2000 anime. Aoi Yūki will play Tōka Miyashita/Boogiepop, while Saori Ōnishi will take on the role of Nagi Kirima.
Shingo Natsume (One-Punch Man, Space Dandy both seasons, ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept.) is directing the new anime at Madhouse. Tomohiro Suzuki (One-Punch Man, Tiger & Bunny, ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept.) is writing and overseeing the scripts, and Hidehiko Sawada (key animator for One-Punch Man, Redline) is designing the characters. Musician Kensuke Ushio (A Silent Voice, DEVILMAN crybaby, Liz and the Blue Bird) is composing the music.
The story:
There is an urban legend that children tell each other about a shinigami who can relieve people of the pain they might be suffering. This "Angel of Death" has a name: Boogiepop. And the legends are true. Boogiepop is real.
When a rash of disappearances of female students breaks out at Shinyo Academy, the police and faculty assume they're just dealing with a bunch of runaways. But Nagi Kirima knows better. Something mysterious and sinister is afoot. Is it Boogiepop, or something more sinister...?
