Another series from the Funimation catalog has landed on the Crunchyroll service thanks to the deal between the two with Good Luck Girl now available with some new aspects to it. Originally, back in 2018, the series was made available in full in its original Japanese language with English subtitles while the dub remains on Funimation’s site. With the merger underway, the English dub has now been added so fans can view both versions on the site.
Availability for it is limited to the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, and South Africa.

Plot concept: Ichiko gets lucky a lot. She’s rich, beautiful, smart, stacked, and better than you at everything. But there’s a reason life always goes her way: she unwittingly steals happiness energy from everyone else! Momiji – a poverty god with a freakishly huge syringe and a bunch of oddball charms – has to take Ichiko’s extra good fortune and return it to her various victims of circumstance.
Like an Adderall-raddled cat-and-mouse chase in a funhouse full of pop culture references, the spirit of shortcomings and her self-absorbed subject stick each other with jabs, gags, bizarre bets, and dirty tricks aplenty. It’s a side-splitting ride, and everyone’s seatbelt is defective. But how many blows to the ego can Ichiko take before she grows a sympathy gland and stops hogging all the happiness?
