Ni no Kuni is getting an anime movie this summer in Japan (no word on an international release). Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino is writing the script and former Studio Ghibli animator Yoshiyuki Momose is directing. Previously, Level-5 has turned Professor Layton, Yokai Watch and Inazuma Eleven into anime.

Classic anime Yokai Ningen Bem, which first debuted in 1968, is getting a new anime series this year. It’s called BEM and features new character designs. New, but not necessarily better!
