About Boogiepop and Others

If you are hunting for a new horror series, Boogiepop and Others (ブギーポップは笑わない) deserves a look (2019). The setup goes like this. In short: There is an urban legend that children tell one another about a shinigami that can release people from the pain they may be suffering. This "Angel of Death" has a name—Boogiepop.

Soon after, the legends are true. Boogiepop is real.

With horror at the core, atmosphere, sound and restraint do the heavy lifting. Voice work is led by Aoi Yuuki as Boogiepop and Saori Oonishi as Nagi Kirima. This one is best suited to viewers comfortable with dark, unsettling material. With 18 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with MADHOUSE, which means the visual identity of Boogiepop and Others follows that studio's craft. The horror focus matters here: atmosphere, sound and restraint do the heavy lifting. With a 6.8/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Voice casting, including Aoi Yuuki as Boogiepop, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2019, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
