FunimationNow add Kumamiko and Shonen Maid to UK spring simulcast line-up

When we reported last week on FunimationNow's spring season launch line-up, we noted with a little sadness that we were missing out on a handful of series that the UK were locked out of.

However, subsequent to this we heard on the grapevine that territories were still being locked down for some shows, and so it's proved with confirmation coming in that two of those previously unavailable series are now coming our way. Thus, we can now add the following two shows to the UK's simulcast line-up from FunimationNow when they launch on our shores tomorrow:

Kumamiko - Girl Meets Bear - What does a bear know about life in the big city? For Machi Amayadori’s sake, hopefully a lot! The young shrine maiden has spent her whole life in the rural mountains with Natsu, her talking guardian bear. Now, at fourteen, she wants to take a chance and attend high school in the big city. Can Natsu really prepare her for city life? Orwill his wacky trials be too much for even Machi to bear?

Episodes of the series are due to air every Sunday at 6PM UK time.

Shonen Maid - After the loss of his mother, Chihiro is left alone. With no known family left, he has to find a way to move on. Things aren’t looking good until a chance encounter with the young and handsome Madoka - who turns out to be his wealthy uncle! Madoka offers him his home and all Chihiro has to do is clean up after the messy, irresponsible man. The problem? This job requires a uniform - a maid outfit!

Episodes of this show will air every Saturday morning at 1:30AM UK time.

These additions mean that the spring season line-up for FunimationNow in the UK now looks as follows:

- Assassination Classroom Season 2
- Concrete Revolutio Season 2
- Endride
- HaiFuri
- Kumamiko - Girl Meets Bear
- My Hero Academia
- Rainbow Days
- Shonen Maid
- Three Colors, Three Leaves
