Crunchyroll Adds Hyakko Anime to Streaming Catalog Again
posted on by Karen Ressler
Media distribution service Crunchyroll announced on Monday that it has added the anime Hyakko to its catalog again. The stream is available in the United States and Canada through Nozomi Entertainment.
Crunchyroll previously streamed the 2008 series as it aired in Japan. Right Stuf/Nozomi Entertainment released the anime on DVD in 2013 as part of its Lucky Penny imprint.
The anime adapts Haruaki Katoh's Hyakko slapstick school comedy manga. Nozomi Entertainment describes the story:
Ever have a crazy best friend? The kind who jumps out of windows, makes robot clones of herself, and (accidentally) punches teachers in the gut?Torako does all these things and more. She's a force of nature, and thanks to her, nothing at Kamizono Academy ever goes quite as planned. Looking for the right classroom turns into a comical case of breaking and entering. Sketching fellow students in art class turns into a racy photo shoot. No one can predict what Torako will do next, but wherever she and her friends go, laughter is sure to follow.
