The Hidamari Sketch anime television series is based on the four panel manga of the same name written and illustrated by Ume Aoki. Directed by Akiyuki Shinbo and Ryōki Kamitsubo and produced by the animation studio Shaft,[1] 12 episodes aired in Japan between January and March 2007; two additional special episodes aired back-to-back in October 2007. The story follows the daily lives of four girls—Yuno, Miyako, Hiro and Sae—attending Yamabuki Art High School and who live in the Hidamari Apartment building across the street from the school.[2] They are later joined by two others who start living at the apartment building—Nazuna and Nori—after one year has passed in the series' internal chronology.[3]

A second season titled Hidamari Sketch × 365 aired 13 episodes between July and September 2008. An original video animation (OVA) episode for 365 was released in March 2009, and two additional special episodes aired in October 2009.

The episodes of Hidamari Sketch were aired in an anachronic order with each episode taking place in a different month in the year; chronologically, the story begins in April.[2] Episodes three and seven are the two episodes not out of order. The DVDs retained the anachronic ordering of events.[4] This theme continues with Hidamari Sketch × 365, featuring events before, after, and between the first season's episodes. In Hidamari Sketch × Hoshimittsu, events set during Yuno's second year are told in chronological order, while events from the previous year retain the anachronic nature of the previous series. Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb sticks to a mainly chronological order.
