Highly popular holy men manga Saint Young Men (“Saint☆Onii-san”), a slice of life comedy which follows the lives of Jesus Christ and the Buddha as they pursue an impoverished bachelor lifestyle in Tokyo’s otherwise gloriously futuristic Tachikawa city, is finally to receive a full anime adaptation.
The anime will take the form of an OAD episode accompanying volume 8 of the manga in December, to be followed by a feature film at an undetermined later date.
The anime is to be produced by A-1 Pictures and directed by Noriko Takao, whose previous involvement with Kyoto Animation and such classics as Haruhi, Clannad and K-ON! tends to suggest a quality product is in the offing, although this would apparently be Takao’s first major directorship.
I wish they would actually be the Religious Trio of Comedy, with Mohammed, Jesus, and Buddha…
wow jesus is flirting with high school girls , just wait fundamentalist christian will come after you
Ohohhohoho, now this looks interesting.
in this anime is jesus black or white or yellow? because in afrika it’s black and in us i’t white so which is it ???
Technically he was neither. He was Jewish, a Hebrew, which back then, was much closer to your atypical Arabic/Middle Easterner.
But when will they make an anime about Muhammad as a magical girl?
I’m sure the Muslims won’t mind.
