A new Devilman anime, based on the manga of the same name written by Go Nagai, has been announced by Dynamic Planning. It will be produced by Actas (Girls und Panzer) and premiere at an event screening in Fall this year.

A key visual (shown on the right) for the anime will be displayed at seven Japanese theaters from April 18.

Tagline:
"Devil, awaken."

Devilman was first published in 1972 in Weekly Shounen Magazine. Since its debut, more than 10 million volumes have been printed. A TV anime adaptation aired between 1972 and 1973.

Synopsis
During the Ice Age, demons, humanity's natural predator, were imprisoned in ice. Previously in hibernation, the demons are escaping in increasing numbers. Ryo Asuka's father was killed by demons after his archaeological explorations took him too close to the truth. After reading his father's notes, Ryo calls on the help of his best friend, Akira Fudo, to fight the demons. But only a demon can stand a chance against another, so Akira must let himself be possessed, but maintain control over the demon inside him. Akira, now as Devilman, must face the heightening onslaught of demon attacks to save humanity. (Source: ANN)

Wow, what up with the recent Retro Trend. First Jojo, then Yamato, Sailor Moon, Saint Seiya and now Devilman

I do'nt know who in Japan is obsessed with Retroes, but I love him for it.

Now hopefully we get a new Mazinger. MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!

Looks like it's time to watch those OVAs. Sounds interesting, but most things do after too much caffeine and too little sleep.
Just realised he has wings sprouting from his head. Or really huge mushrooms.
