Media distribution service Crunchyroll announced on Monday that it is streaming the Shin ATASHIn'CHI television anime series as it airs in Japan.
The anime's first three episodes began streaming on Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. EDT for all Crunchyroll users in the United States, Canada, Central and South America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Europe.
Eiko Kera's original manga follows the everyday life of a high school girl named Mikan (voiced by Fumiko Orikasa) and her family — her homemaker mother (pictured at left, voiced by Kumiko Watanabe ), her salaryman father (Kenichi Ogata), and her younger brother Yuzuhiko (Daisuke Sakaguchi). The manga ran in the Sunday edition of the Yomiuri Shimbun paper for 17 years and 10 months from 1994 until 2012. There are over 10 million copies of the first 17 compiled book volumes.
The anime premiered in Japan on Tuesday.
The manga already inspired a television anime series that aired from 2002 to September of 2009. There was also an ATASHIn'CHI film which premiered in 2003, along with a 40-minute film 3D ATASHIn'CHI film in 2010.
