Yamibo - Darkness, the Hat, and the Travelers of the Books is currently streaming in the US on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, and its 6/10 TMDB rating reflects what viewers who've already found it know. A tightly focused run that doesn't overstay its welcome.
From the era when television started taking itself seriously as an art form, Yamibo - Darkness, the Hat, and the Travelers of the Books follows a path that stands out in a crowded field. Hatsuki is a highschool student living with her sister, Hatsumi, who she has a huge crush on. On Hatsumi's 16th birthday, she is suddenly surrounded by a green light and disappears in front of Hatsuki! She manages to follow Hatsumi with the help of a being resembling a fat baby chick (literally), ending up in a place called "The Great Library", which is full of different worlds stored in books. Tadahisa Saizen and Rie Kanda lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2003.
