Written By Samantha Ferreira December 23, 2015

Get ready for the slice-of-life antics of Hyakko… er… again!

Earlier this week, Crunchyroll announced that they re-added Hyakko to their streaming service. The stream is available to all viewers in the United States and Canada.

Crunchyroll originally streamed Hyakko as the series aired in Japan during the Fall 2008 season. Nozomi Entertainment imprint acquired the series in 2013, which is currently available under the company’s Lucky Penny imprint.

Hyakko is based on Haruaki Katō manga of the same name. The 13-episode series was directed by Michio Fukuda (Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan: Demon Capital, Terraformars Revenge) at Nippon Animation. Keiko Ōta (Ace Attorney) provided character designs on the project, while Yoshihiko Tomizawa (Ah! My Goddess: The Movie, Starship Operators) wrote the scripts.
