The 2008 anime adaptation of Suzuhito Yasuda's Yozakura Quartet has arrived on HIDIVE and Hulu, complete with English dub and subtitle options. The series follows the supernatural happenings in Sakurashin, a city built as a bridge between the human and yokai worlds, focusing on the town's protectors.
Animated by Studio Nomad, the show blends action, comedy, and urban fantasy elements, featuring a cast of characters with supernatural abilities who defend the city from yokai threats and internal strife. While the anime adaptation covers the initial manga material, a later OVA series, Yozakura Quartet: Hana no Uta, adapted the story further and is generally considered to be a more faithful and complete adaptation by fans.
This 12-episode run offers a glimpse into the unique world-building and character dynamics established in Yasuda's manga, providing a complete story arc for viewers interested in exploring the franchise's origins. With its availability on both HIDIVE and Hulu, the original anime is now accessible for binge-watching.
