Tokyo Babylon Getting A New Anime

CLAMP is adapting their popular series Tokyo Babylon into a new anime, releasing 2021. They’ve also put out a new teaser for the upcoming adaptation.

The summary of the manga is as follows:

It’s 1991, the last days of Japan’s bubble economy, and money and elegance run through the streets. So do the currents of darkness beneath them, nourishing evil spirits that only the arts of the onmyoji – Japan’s legendary occultists – can combat. The two most powerful onmyoji are in the unlikely guises of a handsome young veterinarian, Seishiro, and the teenage heir to the ancient Sumeragi clan, Subaru.

To promote the anime, they’ve also launched an official Twitter as well as a website.

This is far from Tokyo Babylon’s anime debut, however. The series received an OVA in 1992, as well as a second one two years later in 1994. The series also had an animated music video in 1992.

On top of that, the characters have even made the jump to live-action with live-action music videos in 1992, as well as a live-action movie in 1993.

CLAMP, ever efficient at recycling their characters, have also taken Subaru Sumeragi and included him in another of their manga, X. This cross-series insertion is years ahead of their more famous crossovers, Tsubasa Chronicle and xXxHolic.
