Who am I? My name is Boogiepop…
There is an urban legend that children tell about a shinigami that can release people from the pain they are suffering. This “Angel of Death” has a name–Boogiepop. And the legends are true. Boogiepop is real.
When a rash of disappearances involving female students breaks out at Shinyo Academy, the police and faculty assume they just have a bunch of runaways on their hands. Yet Nagi Kirima knows better. Something mysterious and foul is afoot. Is it Boogiepop or something even more sinister…?
The Boogiepop Doesn't Laugh TV anime is directed by Shingo Natsume and features animation by MADHOUSE. The series will broadcast in Japan on AT-X, Tokyo MX, and other stations beginning on January 04, 2019.
