While it was announced as picked up a bit ago, Sentai Filmworks is closer to its April 8th release of The Familiar of Zero, which will give fans a chance to revisit a title released quite a few years ago by Geneon that never saw the other seasons released. Ahead of that release, Sentai’s working with The Anime Network to get the show more exposure and now the original thirteen episode run is available on Hulu in its original Japanese form with English language subtitles. It’s definitely a fun and quirky show that’s worth checking out, particularly since there are three more seasons ahead of it.
Plot concept: Louise Francoise Le Blanc de La Valliere may have a long name, but her spell-casting skills just come up short and her classmates call her Louise the Zero. When she is tasked with a test of summoning a familiar, she summons Hiraga Saito, a normal teenager from Tokyo while everyone else summons great beasts. Will Louise figure out what she excels in? Will Saito and Louise make a great team? Find out in The Familiar of ZERO!
