HIDIVE has announced the upcoming exclusive simulcast of Bad Girl (stylized as BADGIRL), a new teen comedy anime series set to premiere on July 5, 2025. The anime is adapted from the manga by Nikumaru and will be available to stream in HIDIVE’s licensed territories.
Ahead of its official broadcast debut, the first two episodes will premiere at Anime Expo 2025 in Los Angeles. The screening will take place on July 4, from 3:15 to 4:05 PM at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Room 511ABC.
HIDIVE describes the anime:
Yu Yutani is a first-year high school student with sharp eyes, large piercings and flashy two-tone hair. She’s become notorious as a bad girl… but she’s really not. At heart, Yu is an incredibly good girl, but her mind is always full of thoughts of the beautiful and popular Atori Mizutori, the school’s Madonna and head of the student disciplinary committee. So, on her mission to attract the attention of Atori, Yu decided to quit being an honor student and become a “bad delinquent!”
