"The North American anime distributor Section23 Films has announced today that Sentai Filmworks has licensed the Hidamari Sketch, Glass Mask, and Neo Angelique Abyss anime series. Section23 will ship the first English-subtitled DVD sets for these three anime on January 12, January 19, and January 26, respectively.

Director Akiyuki Shinbo and the studio SHAFT animated Ume Aoki's Hidamari Sketch manga into a 13-episode television series and two DVD special episodes in 2007 after working on Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and MoonPhase. Hidamari Sketch's story centers around a high school for the arts and the everyday life of four of its students. A second television series, Hidamari Sketch × 365, has since aired in 2008, and a third television series, Hidamari Sketch × ☆☆☆, has been green-lit. Section23's Hidamari Sketch Season 1 Collection is listed as 350 minutes long. Yen Press is planning to publish the fourth volume of the original manga in North America in January under the name Sunshine Sketch. "
