The 2018 supernatural drama We Rent Tsukumogami is now available to stream in its entirety on both Crunchyroll and HIDIVE, complete with English dub and subtitle options. The series centers on adopted siblings managing a rental shop in Edo-era Tokyo, a city prone to fire and floods. Their inventory includes not just everyday items but also tsukumogami – household objects that have gained sentience after a century of existence.

Produced by Telecom Animation Film, the show blends historical setting with mythological elements, exploring themes of folklore and community.
