Ask John: How Much Satanika Anime Is There?

Question:
I just want to know what you guys have on a character named Satanika. Any movies, comics, anything you may have or know of, just so we know.

Answer:
Satanika was an original character created by Danzig lead singer Glenn Danzig’s comic company Verotik Press. Verotik worked with Japanese adult manga artist Wingbird to create a number of Satanika manga for American publication, and in 1998 Verotik worked with Madhouse Studios of Japan to produce a 3 minute long music video pilot for a planned Satanika OAV series. Unfortunately, Verotik Press encountered financial difficulties and closed, ending hopes that the planned full length Satanika anime would ever be produced. Central Park Media released the short Satanika pilot animation on VHS tape in 1998, along with “making of” footage and interviews with creator Glenn Danzig and the Madhouse Studios animation staff. This tape has been out of print in America for a number of years now.
