Jiro Azuma may seem like a tough go-getter, but he shows a surprisingly compassionate side towards animals – especially since he can talk to them.
This weakness puts him in danger when a suspicious stray cat bonds with him. Suddenly he has enormous powers and finds himself in a hidden battle against powerful Japanese Mononoke.
»Hackadoll the Animation« (catalog title)
All 13 episodes of »Hackadoll the Animation« were added to the catalog today Crunchyroll added in the original version with German subtitles.
Action:
The HackaDoll app puts together a personalized news feed for each user. After a few questions at the start, she filters suitable topics such as BL, cosplay, anime, manga, light novels or voice actors.
Through daily use, the app learns which posts are being read and continually refines its recommendations.
