TMS Entertainment will stream all 51 episodes of the TV anime Pururun! Shizuku-chan for free on its official YouTube channel starting July 3, 2026. The distribution commemorates the 20th anniversary of the first season's 2006 broadcast. Episodes will be released in batches, with the first nine premiering over three consecutive nights and subsequent episodes in pairs twice weekly. The character originated in 2001 from stationery maker Kureha.
The raindrop fairy Shizuku-chan first appeared in 2001 as a character from the fancy stationery company Kureha, then moved into picture books in 2003. The TV anime's first season ran in 2006, followed by a second in 2007 and a revamped series in 2012. Now, to mark two decades since the original broadcast, TMS Entertainment is putting all 51 episodes online for free. The rollout begins July 3 with three consecutive nights of premiere streams for episodes 1 through 9, then shifts to two episodes every Monday and Wednesday. Archives will stay up for roughly two weeks per video, except for the first three episodes, which are planned as permanent uploads.
