Anime



The anime version of Beelzebub is produced by Studio Pierrot and directed by Yoshihiro Takamoto. Yomiuri Television has announced on January 4, 2011 that the Beelzebub anime series would be their biggest project for the year with an anime series comprising over 50 episodes. It began broadcasting in Japan on January 9, 2011 on Nippon Television and Yomiuri Television. Each episode first aired every Sunday at 7:00am JST. It is also licensed and simulcast online by Crunchyroll in North America, parts of Europe, parts of Australasia and Brazil.

Following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the anime had been postponed for two weeks because of the provocative nature of the series. The anime's regular timeslots on March 13 and 20 had been replaced with reruns of Yumeiro Patissiere. What are now episodes 13 and 14 were originally to be aired as episodes 10 and 11 respectively on the two weeks now skipped. The three originally scheduled episodes immediately following these two were aired first.

In addition to the regular series, the anime also comprises one OVA.
