I kind of like “DigiDistro” as a shortened form of “Digital Distribution.” What do you think?
Anyway, GDH/GONZO issued another press release today announcing that they’re going to adapt the 90s dark comedy Hennako-chan, about a weird kid (”hen” => weird, “ko” => child, or can also be used to girl-ify a name, a la “Kyonko,” so the name could literally be “Weirdgirl-chan” or “Weird kid-chan”) into an anime consisting of six 3-minute episodes.
The series is going to be released online on GONZO’s YouTube channel, and it’ll also be offered with both English and Chinese subtitles simultaneously with the Japanese release, via YouTube and a service created by a company called Fujiyama that offers multilingual subtitle software.
