With the recent announcement of their July plans, Sentai Filmworks brought about much happiness to fans with word that the third season of Hidamari Sketch would arrive and that it would retain its original title of Hidamari Sketch: Hoshimuttsu. The new release, subtitled only of course, is due out on July 19th, 2011 and will have all fourteen episodes alongside a clean opening and closing segments as its own extras. With the release getting closer, the artwork has been released (click here for discussion on it) and we’ve got it all laid out here for you to see along with the official summary for the 350 minute comedy show.
Plot summary: Some say that life is like an unfolding tapestry, but living at the Hidamari Apartments is more like being part of a patchwork quilt; one that constantly changes as bits and pieces of the lives and dreams of the young artists who make this extraordinary residence their home are added to the ever-expanding pattern.
When we first met Yuno, she’d just been accepted to the prestigious Yamabuki Art School and it was up to her new neighbors at Hidamari to help her find her way in the big scary world. Now a seasoned vet of the Hidamari Apartments herself, Yuno’s newest challenge is to help the latest arrivals, Nazuna and Nori, acclimate to life on their own. Of course, since it is Hidamari, there are still lots of trials and tribulations ahead, and nothing will ever go quite as expected. But with friends like Miyako, Hiro and Sae ready to lend a hand, there will always be a ray of sunshine at the end of every storm.
