In recent news, Sentai Filmworks, a well renowned anime production studio has licensed the popular anime series, Himouto! Umaru-chan R, the second season based on the original manga, Himouto! Umaruchan. The new license season will be released on October 8th in Japan for the fall 2017 simulcast season.

In addition, the anime series will stream in the U.S. on the Anime Strike service, and in other areas in various other digital platforms. The anime will debut in Japan on networks such as: AT-X, Tokyo MX, and BS11 on selected time slots.

The premise of the popular anime and manga revolves around Taihei Doma and his baby sister, Umaru, who is exceptional in both sports and academics. Despite her perfectionist nature, she has a certain secret. Umaru is actually a Himōto, which is a play on words for “imōto” (little sister) and “himono,” which means “dried fish,”. This is colloquial slang for a young girl who is proper in public but very lazy at home.

The story follows the misadventures between the two and their own unique world.
