Discotek Media picked up the previously unlicensed 2006 anime series Inukami! anime series and it saw a February 26th, 2019 debut on Blu-ray this year. Now, the distributor has brought the show to Crunchyroll for streaming where the full run and film are available in its original Japanese language with English subtitles. Availability is decent as it’s open to viewers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Iceland.
The series received a Blu-ray box set in Japan in March 2017.
The Japanese cast includes Jun Fukuyama as Keita Kawahira and Yui Horie as Yoko.
Seven Seas Entertainment has released the manga in North America.
Plot concept: Inukami are benevolent, dog-like beasts with great spiritual powers that can also take human form. Together with a clan of “Inukami Users,” they fight to vanquish evil. One such clan member, Keita Kawahira, is seen as a total loser. He doesn’t take his job seriously, flirts with every woman he sees, and can’t find a single Inukami willing to form a contract with him. Then, one day, he meets Inukami “Yoko.”
She is beautiful, fearless, and powerful beyond compare, but also self-centered and uncontrollable. When she gets jealous, she won’t hesitate to use her powers to teleport Keita, completely naked, straight into the middle of town as punishment-much to the police department’s dismay! Will this unlikely team band together to fend off evils plaguing their city, or will Keita be branded the city pervert and get locked up first?!
