And Yet the Town Moves has arrived on HIDIVE, complete with an English dub and subtitles. The series, animated by the renowned Shaft, offers a unique blend of surreal comedy and workplace slice-of-life.
Based on the manga by Kōji Kumeta, the anime follows Hotori Arashiyama, a high school girl who secretly works at a struggling seaside cafe that's been hastily rebranded as a maid cafe. Despite the lack of actual maids or decent service, Hotori navigates her chaotic after-school job, family life, and budding romance with a surreal, episodic flair.
Shaft's distinctive visual style, known from series like Monogatari and Puella Magi Madoka Magica, is on full display here, lending a quirky and unpredictable energy to the mundane setting. The anime holds a 7.49 on MyAnimeList, indicating a solid reception for its offbeat humor and unconventional storytelling.
