If you thought 2018 was going to be the year of shonen, think again. Studio Madhouse just confirmed that a new adaptation of Boogiepop Phantom is set for release in 2018 in this mesmerizingly styling teaser trailer.

The original 12-episode anime, also from Madhouse, aired in 2000 and has reached near cult status.  It appears that both anime series will obviously be based on the Boogiepop light novel series by Kouhei Kadono.  The question is how closely will the new series follow the source material?

The 2000 anime series was conceived as a sequel that took place after the light novel installments,  Boogiepop and Others and Boogiepop at Dawn.  However, some fans of the series are convinced that the preview confirms that the new anime will be an adaptation of Boogiepop and Others.  We'll have to wait on further info and details from Madhouse before any definitive statements can be made.

The new series will be directed by Shingo Natsume (Space Dandy, One Punch Man).

Something mysterious and foul is afoot. Is it Boogiepop, or something more sinister...?
