posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The Muse Vietnam YouTube channel announced on Wednesday that it will begin adding Kyoto Animation and Yasuhiro Takemoto's HYOUKA anime on Thursday at 6:00 p.m. GMT +7.
The story follows a boy named Hōtarō who is not assertive about getting involved, but was ordered by his older sister to join the classic literature club. In the club, he gets close to the truth about an incident, involving a female member's uncle, which happened 33 years ago. The "energy-saving" boy is joined by Chitanda, an inquisitive girl in this adolescent mystery.
Kyoto Animation's 22-episode television anime premiered in 2012. Late director Yasuhiro Takemoto (Amagi Brilliant Park, Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu) directed the anime, Shoji Gatoh (Full Metal Panic!) handled series composition, Futoshi Nishiya (Free! - Iwatobi Swim Club, A Silent Voice) designed the characters, and Kōhei Tanaka (Onihei, The Laughing Salesman) composed the music.
The anime adapts some of the stories from Honobu Yonezawa's Kotenbu's original mystery novel series, taking its title from the first novel of the series. The series also inspired a manga adaptation in Kadokawa's Monthly Shonen Ace magazine. A live-action film adaptation starring Kento Yamazaki and Alice Hirose opened in Japan in 2017.
