A television anime remake of Edogawa Ranpo’s Shōnen Tantei-dan (The Boy Detectives Club) novels will premiere on the Tokyo MX channel next January.
Shōnen Tantei-dan (The Boy Detectives Club) is the title of both the 1937 novel by renowned Japanese mystery novelist Edogawa Rampo (Rampo Edogawa), and the title of a series of Edogawa novels.
2015’s Rampo Kitan: Game of Laplace television anime adapts many of Edogawa’s stories, and this fall’s Trickster: Edogawa Rampo ‘Shōnen Tantei-dan’ Yori anime series also draws inspiration from The Boy Detectives Club novel series.
The anime studio DLE (Eagle Talon) is collaborating with the publisher Poplar for the Chō Shōnen Tantei-dan NEO (The Ultra Boy Detectives Club NEO) anime shorts that tell brand-new original stories.
