Section23 Acquires Himawari!

Section23 has acquired the digital & DVD distribution rights to the 2006 female ninja school adventure/comedy television series Himawari! The announcement does not clarify whether the license covers only the 13 episode first series or if the license includes the 13 episode second series from 2007 titled “Himawari!!” (with two exclamation points). The Maiden Japan label will distribute the subtitled series.

This is actually a nice license of an overlooked, fun little show. Sure, it’s lightweight, but it’s amusing provided the viewer doesn’t expect another Yotoden or Kage -Shadow-.
