Crunchyroll and FUNimation Entertainment announced that they will both stream the Hinamatsuri anime for the spring season. Funimation's stream will be English-dubbed. Premiere dates and regions have not yet been announced.
Crunchyroll describes the story:
Nitta Yoshifumi, a young, intellectual yakuza, lived surrounded by his beloved pots in his turf in Ashigawa. But one day, a girl, Hina, arrives in a strange object, and uses her telekinetic powers to force Nitta to allow her to live with him, putting an end to his leisurely lifestyle. Hina tends to lose control of herself, wreaking havoc both at school and in Nitta's organization. Though troubled, he finds himself taking care of her. What will become of this strange arrangement?
The anime will premiere in Japan on April 6 at 9:00 p.m. on the AT-X channel, and it will then run on Tokyo MX, KBS Kyoto, TV Aichi, Sun TV, TVQ Broadcasting Kyushu, and BS11. The anime will have 12 episodes.
