Synopsis: Yuno has dreamed of attending Yamabuki Arts High School for years, but now that she's been accepted, there's the scary prospect of moving away from her home and family for the first time. Fortunately, Yuno quickly learns that even if her new neighbors at the eclectic Hidamari Apartments aren't technically family, at least the majority share the bond of being fellow art students. Between second year students like Hiro and Sae, who try to behave like helpful older sisters, and Mako, her hyperactive new neighbor, classmate and best friend, Yuno will never find herself alone. And that's a good thing since she'll need a solid support network to deal with strange characters like her oddly masculine landlady, her cosplay-obsessed home room teacher, her tooth-chattering principal, and all of the other odd denizens who inhabit her chosen world of art.
Hidamari Sketch features series episodes 1-12 and two bonus episodes, all presented in 1080p with Japanese lossless audio and English subtitles. (Note: no English dub is available.) Special features include Clean Opening and Closing Animations.
