My teen romantic comedy SNAFU TOO (Oregairu 2) is now available to stream as a subtitled and dubbed version on HIDIVE, starting October 20, 2023. Previously only the first part was available The first and third seasons of SNAFU are only recently available to stream, as the platform delisted the second season about two years ago.
This news is timely as the anime Oregairu prepares for Oregairu Fes.10th, the festival commemorating the 10th anniversary of the anime’s first episode in 2013. The festival is set for February 17, 2024 and is marked by a new image. The main cast and author, Wataru Watari, are both expected to attend. Anime Corner also had the opportunity to interview Watari and his editor, Hironori Hoshino, earlier this year.
All three seasons of the Oregairu anime are currently available to purchase from North American anime licensor, Sentai Filmworks. Yen Press holds the license for the light novels. They describe the first episode:
Hachiman Hikigaya is a cynic. He believes that “youth” is a fraud – a fool’s game, an illusion woven from failure and hypocrisy. But when he submitted an essay for a school assignment espousing this view, he was forced to work in the Service Club, an organization dedicated to helping students with problems in life. ! How would Hachiman the Cynic cope with a job that requires panting?
Both HIDIVE and Sentai are owned by AMC Networks. As always with HIDIVE, regional availability may vary.
