Anime streaming service RetroCrush has expanded its catalog with the addition of two unique anime titles from REMOW: Hyakushō Kizoku – The Farmer's Days Season 1 and 500000000 Years Button. The new arrivals are now available to stream, giving subscribers access to a heartwarming autobiographical comedy and an experimental philosophical series.
Hyakushō Kizoku – The Farmer's Days Arrives on RetroCrush
Based on the autobiographical manga by Hiromu Arakawa, best known as the creator of Fullmetal Alchemist, Hyakushō Kizoku – The Farmer's Days draws inspiration from Arakawa's years working on her family's farm in Hokkaido before becoming a manga artist.
The short-form anime offers a humorous and insightful look at life in Japanese agriculture, highlighting the hard work, unexpected challenges, and memorable experiences of farming through Arakawa's signature storytelling style. The series has been praised for blending educational themes with comedy and slice-of-life charm.
500000000 Years Button Brings a Mind-Bending Experience
Joining the lineup is 500000000 Years Button, the television anime adaptation of Sota Sugahara's cult-favorite manga. Originally created as a thought experiment, the story revolves around a mysterious button that rewards anyone who presses it with one million yen—but only after they spend 500 million years in complete isolation before having their memories erased.
The anime mixes surreal comedy, philosophical questions, experimental CG animation, and improvised storytelling, creating one of the most unconventional viewing experiences available on the platform. Director Sota Sugahara described the series as an exploration of time, memory, existence, and the nature of being alive.
RetroCrush Continues Expanding Its Diverse Anime Catalog
The addition of these two titles reflects RetroCrush's ongoing partnership with REMOW to bring a wider variety of anime to international audiences. While Hyakushō Kizoku offers a grounded and heartfelt look at rural life, 500000000 Years Button delivers an imaginative and philosophical journey unlike most traditional anime.
Both series are now streaming on RetroCrush alongside the platform's growing collection of classic and contemporary anime titles.
