Anime Network to Stream Majikoi ~ Oh! Samurai Girls Online
Anime Network has announced that they will begin streaming the slapstick comedy Magikoi ~ Oh! Samurai Girls, in Japanese with English subtitles on Anime Network Online.
Adapted from Minato Soft's popular visual novel, directed by Keitaro Motonaga (Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka, School Days,) with story supervision by Katsuhiko Takayama (And yet The Town Moves, e.f. A Tale of Memories,)
the 12-episode series centers around a city where samurai ancestry runs
deep, a tightly knit group of girls who suddenly find themselves with
two new members, and a ton of new problems.
Starting
on Friday, November 18, Anime Network will kick off the online release
with the first two episodes going live at 12 PM Eastern. A new episode
will be available every week there after. Each episode will also be
available on the free, ad-supported Hulu service, as well as the Hulu
Plus subscription service, within 24 hours. Distribution on additional
services and platforms will follow in 2012.
ABOUT THE SERIES
It’s
one thing to honor your ancestors and keep old traditions alive, but
there IS such a thing as taking it to a ridiculous extreme. In Kawakami
City, having a samurai ancestor and enormous ‘fighting spirit’ isn’t
just an interesting fact, it’s a huge part of how you end up being
ranked on the social totem pole. That, in turn, rolls over into the
school curriculum. Fortunately, that’s something the local kids like
Yamato Naoe have learned to deal with by forming into small ‘bands,’
(that’s the samurai type, NOT music.) However, while the delicate sexual
balance of Yamato’s group seemed fine when there were three girls and
four boys, the sudden addition of two MORE girls starts to send
everything spinning out of control! Seven’s a band of samurai and nine
is a riot as boys, girls and naked blades all come together in Majikoi ~ Oh! Samurai Girls!
