Boogiepop Phantom TV Series
Combining the amazing animation techniques of Studio Madhouse (TRINITY
BLOOD / TEXHNOLYZE / DEATH NOTE / NINJA
SCROLL / VAMPIRE
HUNTER D) with direction by Watanabe Takashi
(SLAYERS / IKKI
TOUSEN / SHAKUGAN
NO SHANA) and screenplays by Sadayuki Murai (MILLENNIUM
ACTRESS / PERFECT
BLUE / STEAMBOY)
to produce a mind-bending story combining the stylistic nature
of Serial
Experiments Lain or Texhnolyze with the episodic nature and dark twisting plotlines of Quentin
Tarantino's Pulp Fiction.
Five years ago, a string of grisly murders shook
the city to its core and now the rumors have begun once more. Boogiepop...
Everyone knows about Boogiepop: meet her one dark night and you are
taken. People tell each other the stories and laugh: no one believes
that she can possibly exist in this day and age. Still, strange things
appear to be going on just and the darkness is taking on many forms.
Something is out there. Are you safe?
Boogiepop and Others
Live-Action Movie
With scenario work by Sadayuki Murai (BOOGIEPOP PHANTOM / PERFECT
BLUE / COWBOY
BEBOP) and directed by Ryu Kaneda (VIDEO
GIRL AI / SHENMUE), Boogiepop and Others is the quietly chilling tale of
ten high school students whose lives are all intertwined in a twisted
and deadly web of secrets.
The cold dead of night is a dangerous time to be
near the Shinyo Academy. Girls have begun to mysteriously disappear
without a trace, and the school is alive with rumors. Some say the
girls are just runaways, but with each new disappearance, a lingering
fear grows ever stronger - fear that a shinigami... the very spirit
of death... is prowling through the streets of the city. They say
you never see it coming... a lone whistle splits the dark silence,
and it suddenly appears behind you to steal your soul...
