Another series that hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves over the years are the two Honey & Clover anime seasons. They’d fallen out of print and license some time ago but now the property has been picked up again by Discotek Media and they’re streaming it on Crunchyroll. Both seasons are available in both their original Japanese language with English subtitles as well as the previously created English language dub.
The main downside to it is that it seems to be using the same masters as the Viz Media releases which means on the Japanese side we get their burned in DVD-style subtitles, which look pretty weak compared to what’s been produced the last few years through services like this.
Plot concept: What do you get when you cross creativity with self-discovery and unrequited love? Art school! Yuta Takemoto has no idea what’s in store for his life when he enrolls at a Tokyo art college, but he find out right away it’ll never be dull! Love triangles form as fast as friendships when both Takemoto and senior classmate Shinobu Morita fall hard for shy artistic prodigy Hagumi Hanamoto. And while architecture student Takumi Mayama secretly pines for an older woman, dazzling ceramicist Ayu Yamada pines for him! Confused yet? Welcome to the bittersweet world of Honey and Clover…
