Locodol has arrived on Crunchyroll, offering the complete 12-episode run of the 2014 slice-of-life comedy. The series follows Nanako Usami, a high school student roped into becoming a local idol to promote her rural hometown of Nagarekawa.
Produced by Studio feel., known for shows like Tsuki ga Kirei and My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU TOO!, Locodol focuses on the charmingly mundane efforts of Nanako and her senpai Yukari to boost their town's appeal through idol activities. The show leans into the 'Cute Girls Doing Cute Things' (CGDCT) genre, prioritizing character interactions and lighthearted humor over dramatic stakes.
While not part of a major franchise, Locodol spawned a sequel OVA, Locodol: We Tried Giving a Tour of Nagarekawa, indicating a dedicated fanbase for its earnest portrayal of local charm and slice-of-life antics.
