While we continue to lament that Samurai Flamenco hasn’t had a physical media release, we’re glad that it’s getting a little renewed attention for streaming. Crunchyroll has announced that they’ve added rights to it for the UK and Ireland and that it kicks off in expanded form there today. Which is good, though they were lucky enough to get home video releases there as well so we’re extra envious right now about it. Crunchyroll has the full twenty-two episode series available to check out here.
Check out our review of the first half from the UK release by Anime Limited on Blu-ray here.
The series was broadcast during the fall 2013 season and ran for twenty-two episodes. It was picked up for North American release by Aniplex USA while Anime Limited has the UK rights for the series. No details about releases in the US region have been revealed yet.
