An all-new anime series centered around Kaito Kid is currently in production! The  series will premiere in October at 5:30 PM on YTV in the timeslot just before Conan.

As most fans are aware, Kid was previously the subject of Kid the Phantom Thief, a series of twelve episodes that adapted most of the beloved stories from the four volumes of Magic Kaito thus far. While production on the original series was handled partially by a team drawn from the Conan production crew, this new series will be handled by A-1 Pictures, who most recently have worked on properties such as Sword Art Online and Persona 4 The Golden: Animation.

Given the shift in production responsibilities and most of the source material being covered already, it is currently unknown exactly what this series will cover. Whether it will start anew and re-adapt the old stories, with or without mixing in anime original stories, or exactly how many episodes it will be is all currently unknown.

Expect more information closer to the premiere date.
