Netflix describes the story:
Akuma Kun is the story of a boy trying create a society where humanity realizes it’s true potential and lives happily, with the help of some unlikely allies
The new anime’s story is set over three decades after the earlier 1989-1990 anime’s story. Yūko Mita and Toshio Furukawa are returning from the previous anime to voice Akuma I / Shingo Umoregi and Mephisto II, respectively. Furukawa also plays Mephisto III. Yuuki Kaji voices the protagonist, Akuma II / Ichirō Umoregi.
Junichi Sato (Aria franchise, Sailor Moon) is the Akuma Kun anime project’s chief director at Encourage Films, while Fumitoshi Oizaki (A Centaur’s Life, Romeo × Juliet) is the series director. Sato previously directed the Akuma-kun TV anime and its two films in 1989-1990. Hiroshi Ohnogi (2018 GeGeGe no Kitarō, Noein – to your other self) is overseeing the series scripts. Toei Animation is charge of production.
Additional staff members include:
The anime is part of four “big projects” commemorating the 100-year anniversary of Shigeru Mizuki‘s birth. Mizuki passed away in 2015 at 93 years old. Another project is the Kitarō Tanjō: Gegege no Nazo (Kintarō Birth: The Mystery of Gegege) anime film, which will open on November 17.
The manga previously inspired a television anime in 1989-1990. Two anime films premiered in 1989 and 1990. The new anime is the first new one in 33 years. The manga also inspired several live-action adaptations.
Mizuki drew the original manga in 1963-1964, and he drew several other series in the franchise in the 1970s and 1980s. The manga follows the titular “Akuma-kun,” a boy who uses the powers of demons to help the world stay at peace.
