If you’re a big fan of the anime series Atashin’chi, then you’re in for a treat.
The show’s official YouTube channel has started streaming the first two episodes with English subtitles on Friday.
Shinei Animation and AlphaBoat aim to stream about 270 episodes of Atashin’chi and the Shin Atashin’chi sequel from Friday to March 2021.
Two new episodes will be released every weekday during the first month of streaming, and two new episodes will premiere on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in the succeeding months.
Here’s episode 1.

The Tachibanas are the quintessential Japanese family, unassuming and infinitely relatable.
There’s Mother, who isn’t the best cook and is quite lazy, and Father, who always leaves the bathroom door ajar. The high school daughter Mikan seems a bit of a buffoon, and the middle schooler son Yuzuhiko appears to be quite the cold fish at first glance. They’re a bit peculiar… but they were a family everyone could relate to.
Atashin’chi is inspired by Eiko Kera’s original manga. Kera released a new serialization for the manga in December, seven years after she originally ended the series. When she finished the manga in March 2012, she had been drawing it in the Sunday edition of the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper since 1994, for 17 years and 10 months.
