Anime Times, Amazon Prime Video's dedicated anime channel, is streaming the first episode of the Nozo x Kimi original video anime (OVA), based on Wakoh Honna's spinoff of her Nozoki Ana manga, as well as the first episode of the anime based on Kenji Taguchi's comedy Ane Log - Moyako Nee-san no Tomaranai Monologue (Sister's Log - Moyako's Monologue That Won't Stop) manga on YouTube. The YouTube channel is also streaming the first six episodes of MAPPA, Avex Pictures, and Cygames' Zombie Land Saga anime and the first six episodes of the anime adaptation of CLAMP's Angelic Layer manga.

All four titles are available streaming in India free-of-charge for a limited period of time.

Anime Times describes Nozo x Kimi:

Kimio finds himself hiding in the girls locker room, unable to escape the situation. Nozomi, a shy girl in his class finds him and covers for him. Later that night, he gets a text from Nozomi. She blackmails him into agreeing to show each other's bodies when she texts him, and they start their little peep show through each other's windows...

The Nozoki Ana risqué comedy follows a young man who discovers a tiny hole in a wall of his new room, and looks through it to see a girl on the other side. The spinoff manga Nozo x Kimi follows high school students Nozomi and Kimio, two other inhabitants of the same apartment complex as the characters in Nozoki Ana.

Wakoh Honna launched the spinoff manga in Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine in 2011, and ended it in 2015. The limited editions of the manga's fourth, fifth, and sixth compiled book volumes all shipped with OVA episodes adapted from the manga.

Nozoki Ana itself inspired an original video anime that shipped on DVD with the 13th and final manga volume in February 2013, and then shipped on a standalone Blu-ray Disc release in May 2013.

The three OVAs of Taguchi's comedy manga Ane Log - Moyako Nee-san no Tomaranai Monologue debuted in 2014-2015.

Tetsuo Ichimura (episode director for Bleach, Durarara!!) directed the OVAs at Brains Base with scripts by Natsuko Takahashi (Romeo × Juliet, Bleach). Eriko Itō (Hamatora) handled the character design.
