The video begins with narration by Kiyoshi Kobayashi, the voice actor of Bem in the original 1968 Yōkai Ningen Bem anime.
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 staff of Gekijо̄ban BEM~BECOME HUMAN, the upcoming anime film based on the rebooted BEM anime series, began streaming a promotional video on Wednesday that recaps the anime series.
