KADOKAWA announced that the Haganai TV anime series will stream free on ABEMA in a marathon on October 7, marking 15 years since the anime adaptation began. Season 1 airs from noon, followed by season 2 NEXT at 6 PM, both nonstop. An Animate Akihabara only shop and new merchandise mark the anniversary.
The anniversary extends beyond streaming. Animate Akihabara 2nd building hosts an only shop from September 5 to 27, selling newly drawn merchandise including trading can badges, acrylic stands, and clear file sets, plus a lottery with acrylic magnets and character cards as prizes. Character designer Yoshihiro Watanabe's anniversary illustration appears on goods sold with bonuses at Animate x Sofmap stores nationwide.
The anime adapts Yomi Hirasaka's MF Bunko J light novel, a youth romantic comedy set in the Neighbors Club, where Kodaka Hasegawa and a group of socially awkward girls chase friendship. Season 1 aired in October 2011 and season 2 NEXT in January 2013.
