FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

THE MUSHIBUGYO ANIME BRINGS MORE SHONEN ACTION TO HIDIVE

Remember how we announced we were streaming the Mushibugyo OVAs? You were probably wondering why we’d stream just the OVAs and not the TV series as well. Boy, do we have the announcement for you: Tune in Wednesday, May 18, 2022 at 1:00 PM ET (17:00 UTC) when we stream the entire Mushibugyo anime series!

Our fellow pest exterminators over at Sentai have this to say about the series:

“To combat the monstrous, gigantic insects delivering death and misery to a frightened population, Edo-period Shogun rulers assemble a cadre of superhuman warriors known as the Insect Magistrate Office. Among them, a young swordsman named Jinbee Tsukishima yearns to atone for past sins by taking his fallen father’s place in their ranks. But first he’ll have to prove his worth as a fighter if he wants to join the fight to save humanity from the brutal onslaught.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MY ISEKAI LIFE EPISODE 1 HIDIVE PREMIERES ON JULY 4!

The entire point of isekai is to be an escapist/power fantasy. Apparently, Yuji got the memo because he doesn’t have to deal with the mountain of paperwork back at the office anymore.

Getting isekai’d to a magical world and developing incredible powers is every otaku’s wildest dream, but for salaryman Yuji Sano, it’s the stuff of absolute nightmare! He’s in the middle of a mountain of work when he gets unwillingly pulled into a fantasy realm, where he accomplishes the enviable feat of developing a second character class by making the most of his Monster Tamer abilities. Now he’s traded the office for adventuring to make a living, but he keeps getting roped into major events because his powers are unmatched, second to none — and he doesn’t even realize it yet!

WHEN CAN YOU WATCH VERMEIL IN GOLD ON HIDIVE? JULY 5

Usually, stories go to great lengths to show why making a deal with the devil is an extremely bad idea. But in Alto’s case, the she-devil he summoned is more interested in things other than his soul. Want to know what kind of compromising situations these two find themselves in? Then join us every Tuesday starting July 5, 2022 at 10:00 AM EDT (14:00 UTC) so you can watch the Vermeil in Gold (Kinso no Vermeil) anime!

Our fellow demons over at Sentai have this to say about the series:

Meet Alto, a hapless student at Royal Ortigia Magic Academy whose academic performance leaves much to be desired. Rather than take a more sensible approach to salvaging his grades in time for graduation, Alto decides to summon a bit of otherworldly assistance. Only after does he learn he’s bound the legendary she-devil Vermeil into service as his familiar! But while Vermeil is a powerful ally sure to turn his grades around, her magic can only be replenished with a kiss, and that makes everything go to hell with Alto’s jealous childhood friend, Lilia. Looks like Alto just unleashed a whole new world of devilish mayhem in Vermeil in Gold!

WATCH PHANTOM OF THE IDOL ON HIDIVE AS EARLY AS JULY 1!

Ever wish a ghost would possess your body and do your job so you could reap all the benefits of being a superstar idol without doing any actual work? If that sounds suspiciously specific, that’s because it is. Join us every Friday starting July 1, 2022 at 1:53 PM EDT (17:53 UTC) when we simulcast Phantom of the Idol (Kami Kuzu☆Idol) from ep 1!

Synopsis

Most idols are fueled by their love of performing before adoring fans. Yuya, however, is fueled by his love of an easy paycheck! Yuya is one half of the idol duo ZINGS, but his supreme laziness (not to mention his disdain for idol fans in general) has him on the brink of getting blacklisted from the business. In a chance backstage encounter, he meets the spectral Asahi, the ghost of a former idol who’s eager to stage her own comeback by any means necessary… including possessing Yuya’s willing body! Is their zany partnership a match made in heaven, or is it pure idol hell?

LUMINOUS WITCHES RELEASE DATE: HERE’S THE EXACT TIME IT PREMIERES ON HIDIVE

Morale matters in war time. In our world, music became a powerful publicity and rallying tool to keep spirits high during World War II, and League of Nations Air Force Magic Aviation Band Luminous Witches (Renmei Kuugun Koukuu Mahou Ongakutai Luminous Witches) applies this premise to the legendary Strike Witches franchise. Tune in every Sunday starting July 3, 2022 at 9:00 AM EDT (13:00 UTC) as HIDIVE streams Luminous Witches!

Synopsis

“The war against invading aliens can’t be won by missiles alone! Team morale matters just as much as launching a counterassault, and that’s where Ginny and her friends come in. Instead of standing on the front lines with the 501st Joint Fighter Wing, the Luminous Witches of the League of Nations Air Force bring smiles to civilians displaced in the human-Neuroi war world with thrilling song and dance — not to mention aerial displays the likes of which the music world has never seen! While they might be non-combatants, these performers know the value of preserving the people’s smiles, and they’ll fight in their unique way to make sure those smiles never fade.”

But Ayumu has vowed not to confess his feelings until he can beat the masterful Urushi in a match, and he has a long way to go before he can stand up to her strategic brilliance. As Ayumu strives to beat his crush and confess, love becomes a battlefield both on and off the shogi board while audiences wonder, “When will Ayumu make his move!?”

DON’T MISS SHINEPOST WHEN THE ANIME RELEASES ON HIDIVE! SAVE THE DATE FOR JULY 12

It’s frustrating when your dream is out of reach thanks to something beyond your control. That’s the situation TiNgS find themselves in at the start of the anime. Fortunately for them, they have a chance to turn their luck around. Join us when we release SHINEPOST every Tuesday, July 12, 2022 at 1:30 PM EDT (17:30 UTC)!

Synopsis
Although the idol group TiNgS is chasing after big dreams, so far their accomplishments have only been small — and now, suddenly, they’re facing a potential break up! Hope seems lost, but when a new manager with a special skillset takes them under his wing, the members of TiNgS find themselves shooting for the stars all over again.
