Crunchyroll recently announced plans to begin streaming the action-comedy series Reborn! (Katekyo Hitman Reborn!) to its Anime Membership subscribers. Episodes will be listed to Crunchyroll's site within an hour of the episodes' airings in Japan starting March 21st. Crunchyroll's premiere will be the North American debut of the anime adaptation of Akira Amano's manga.

Crunchyroll will also stream the Peeping Life comedy anime series on March 21. Peeping Life is described as a "slow-life anime," and combines motion-captured improvised acting with computer animation to depict the listlessness of existence in a series of comedy shorts.

Viz Media currently owns the rights to the Reborn! manga, and currently distributes the first nine volumes.
