In 1982 a 26‑episode television sequel to **Youkai Ningen Bem** was planned. When the original production company disbanded, Topcraft took over the animation work. Only two episodes were completed before the project was halted, and the series never aired on television. A decade later, the finished episodes were released to the public in a LaserDisc box set. The limited edition, with 2,000 copies printed, sold out entirely.
