Actas. Nagai acknowledged that he once thought that these characters are like "water and oil." Nevertheless, he commented that it is "an anime that displays excellent harmony without destroying the mood or sensibilities of each character as they clash."
The anime will open in eight Japanese theaters in October for a limited two-week engagement. The project will then ship as a three-episode original video anime.
In the story of Cyborg 009, Joe Shimamura and others gained cyborg powers when they were involuntarily altered by an evil organization, and then they fight to protect the world against the organization. The story of Devilman follows Akira Fudō, who fights invading enemies to save humanity after being possessed by demon powers.
In the new film, the two title characters will meet and battle because of a certain incident. The tagline reads, "Who will survive…?"
Nagai worked as an assistant to Ishinomori and drew backgrounds for Cyborg 009 before launching Devilman. According to Sankei Sports, Nagai has had thoughts on a collaboration with Ishinomori for a long time.
A new Cyborg 009 anime announced for limited event screenings this fall, but the two announcements — complete with two separate visuals — were not linked together at first.
Ishinomori first launched the Cyborg 009 manga in the Panasonic.
Nagai launched the original Weekly Shōnen Magazine in 1972. The collected volumes of the manga have more than 10 million copies in print. A television anime adaptation of the manga aired simultaneously in 1972.
