Green Green (TV series)


Green Green is a Japanese, 12-episode anime adaptation of the H-game of the same name. A non-canon sequel exists to the story as a thirteenth episode, which was released at a later date. This 'Episode 13' is unlicensed and not included in the US release.
Media Blasters licensed Green Green for distribution in North America, and the first volume was released on May 16, 2006. They have since released the 12 TV episodes on three DVDs, first separately throughout 2006, and then in two different budget collections in 2007 and 2009. The series premiered in the U.S. television in January 2016 on the channel Toku.

Story

Green Green takes place in the countryside of Japan, at the isolated all-boys boarding school of Kanenone Gakuen. Since there are no females for miles, the school is advertised as the "last remaining paradise for men on Earth". The Kanenone school board has begun talks to merge with an all-girls boarding school, in hopes of becoming a co-ed boarding school. This has the hormone-driven, girl-deprived male body of Kanenone thrilled.
Both schools decide to have a test run of sorts, having the girls from the all-girls school stay at Kanenone for a month, in order to see how the boys and girls can get along with one another. Yuusuke Takazaki, the main character, has his hands full with his "perverted" roommates, nicknamed the Baka Trio. The Baka Trio - which consists of Bacchi-Gū, an overweight shameless pervert, Ichiban-Boshi, a self-proclaimed ladies man, and Tenjin, a gentle giant who has a "little sister" fetish - are incredibly excited that there will be girls around at their school.
When the buses containing the girls arrive, one girl named Midori Chitose excitedly disembarks first, leaping at and happily hugging a confused Yuusuke. Who is Midori and how does she know Yuusuke? The series focuses on answering this question and the antics of the Baka Trio.

OVAs

In December 2002, an original video animation adaptation of Green Green was released. It had no relation to the television series. It starts off with the same plot, but instead of girls visiting Kanenone, it had a group of boys from Kanenone visiting the all-girl boarding school.
Three Character OVA DVDs were also released in Japan under the title Green Green Character DVDs; "Sanae & Wakaba" was released on November 19, 2003, "Futaba & Chigusa" on December 17, 2003, and "Midori & Reika" on January 21, 2004. Each Character DVD included a short 8-10 minute yuri story all of which include a sex or nude scene involving the two female title characters, a music video for each of the title characters, and other extras with a total running time of 33–38 minutes each. In the North American Media Blaster's release most of the contents of the Character DVDs can be found as extras on each DVD with the short stories labeled as untranslated E-cup breasts episodes.
An OVA entitled Green Green: Erolutions was released in May 2004 as the thirteenth and concluding episode of the television series. The episode was not included in the United States release.
