Funimation announced on Wednesday that it will stream BEM: BECOME HUMAN, the anime film based on the rebooted BEM anime series, starting on Thursday at 12:00 p.m. EDT in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.
In the original 26-episode anime, Bem, Bela, and Belo are ugly humanoid monsters (yōkai) who fight for justice.
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.
The monsters live among humans and protect them from evil yōkai.
