Anime



The anime version of Beelzebub is produced by Studio Pierrot and directed by Yoshihiro Takamoto. It broadcasted in Japan from January 9, 2011 to March 25, 2012 on Nippon Television and Yomiuri Television. A total of 60 episodes were aired with the manga still ongoing. 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. The episode that was originally to be aired as episode 10 on March 13, 2011 is now episode 13, while the episode that was originally to be aired as episode 11 on March 20, 2011 is now episode 15. The two originally scheduled episodes immediately following these two postponed were aired first.

In addition to the regular series, the anime also comprises one OVA and two mini-series released exclusively on DVD.
