Discotek Media announced their pickup of the Miss Machiko series at the end of May 2016 and it was just a week later that we saw the first twelve episodes streaming on Crunchyroll as part of the deal with them for this streaming-only series. After getting a second round of episodes later last year, the next batch of episodes have arrived with episodes twenty-three through forty-five two being added to the service, though once again no word on how regular new batches will be or when they’ll cycle to free status. The episodes are available to viewers in the US, Canada, South Africa and the UK, which is better than the usual Discotek additions to the service.
Originally airing for 95 episodes between 1981 and 1983, it was animated by Studio Pierrot and features scripts from Kenji Terada among others and character designs from Akemi Takada.
Plot concept: The mischievous students of Arama Academy meet their match in a beautiful and clever new teacher, Miss Machiko! But they’re determined to find a prank that will really embarrass her. No matter what they devise she still manages to laugh it off and help them with their school work and problems.
