Netflix anime library is an ever growing one. Adding to the long list of amazing ones is a rather surprising addition.

Netflix Is Bringing a New Anime Series, Akuma Kun – Here’s Everything You Need to Know About the Ancient Magna Adaptation

Netflix is always pursuing new manga to adapt into anime for its anime-loving
fanbase. Even though the streaming giant already has an extensive library of
anime series and films, news of Netflix producing more is always around. Keeping
the rumors alive, Netflix has now chosen its next manga to adapt into anime. And
we can not be more impressed and excited.


AKUMA KUN IS THE NEXT NETFLIX ANIME

On Sunday, the most popular streaming website, Netflix, announced that it will
be adapting the famous Akuma Kun manga into anime. Akuma Kun has initially been
a project of Shigeru Mizuki. 

While announcing the new anime, Netflix released a brand new art of the main
character Akuma in a tweet through its official Netflix Anime Twitter handle
[https://twitter.com/NetflixAnime].

It is also revealed that the protagonist Akuma II will have the voice of
actor Yuuki Kaji. Voicing  Akuma I / Shingo Umoregi and Mephisto II are Yūko
Mita and Toshio Furukawa, respectively.

This anime is going to be part of 4 “big projects” that will commemorate the
100th anniversary of the world-renowned mangaka Shigeru Mizuki. Mr. Mizuki
passed away in 2015.

NOT THE FIRST ANIME ADAPTATION FOR AKUMA

The first manga for Akuma Kun was published in 1963 till 1964. Mizuki made
several other additions to the franchise throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The
manga was first adapted into a television series in 1989 and ran till 1990. In
the same period, two other films of the same manga were made. Coincidentally,
Junichi Sato directed the two films and the TV series in 1989 and 1990.

Just by seeing the great cast and crew that will be putting its mind together
for the series, it is safe to assume that the anime will be one of the best ones
out there when it releases in 2023.

For now, since the announcement is still fresh, we do not have a trailer or
sneak peek for the show. However, keep checking out our website for more Akuma
Kun and anime other updates.
