Muse Asia added BEM: BECOME HUMAN, the anime film based on the rebooted BEM anime series, on Saturday. The stream is available in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar, Brunei, Cambodia, and Laos.
The Gekijо̄ban BEM~BECOME HUMAN movie is the latest project in the Yōkai Ningen Bem (Humanoid Monster Bem) franchise, and it opened in Japan in October 2020.
Hiroshi Ikehata (Kiratto Pri☆Chan, Space Battleship Tiramisu) directed the film at Production I.G, and Atsuhiro Tomioka (One Piece Stampede, Pokémon, Inazuma Eleven) wrote the script. Mino Matsumoto (Attack on Titan: Junior High, Maria the Virgin Witch) provided the character designs for the movie, and Range Murata was credited with the original character designs. The Klockworx Co., Ltd. distributed the anime.
Rib performed the theme song "unforever."
The BEM anime is the latest in a franchise that began with Yōkai Ningen Bem (Humanoid Monster Bem), a classic supernatural adventure anime that aired from 1968 to 1969. In the original 26-episode anime, Bem, Bela, and Belo are ugly humanoid monsters (yōkai) who fight for justice. The monsters live among humans and protect them from evil yōkai. The three find themselves ostracized from both humans and other yōkai, but the three continue to fight in hopes of one day becoming humans themselves.
The BEM television anime premiered in July 2019.
