Last month we reported that there were plans for a Naruto spinoff anime series based on the misadventures of Rock Lee and company. The official website for the Naruto SD: Rock Lee no Seishun Full-Power Ninden anime which is based on a manga of the same name began streaming a 30 second promotional video today. The new series will replace Bleach once it finishes airing and is being animated by Studio Pierrot. It is scheduled to premiere April 3, 2012 in Japan. You can check out the PV for the series below the jump.

If you remember back in 2010 there was a spinoff of Naruto featuring the super deformed chibi version of Rock Lee and other characters from Naruto. NarutoSD: Rock Lee no Seishun Full-Power Ninden also known as Rock Lee's Springtime of Youth Full Power Ninja Training will finally make it's anime debut.

Alright my non-American friends, take your bandwidth caps off, we're in for a wild ride. Anime streaming site, Crunchyroll has added full 1080p streaming for some of their anime titles. As of press time, we are not aware of any other anime streaming site that allows this kind of bandwidth abusing but eye pleasing streaming.

They plan to offer the 1080p option to paid subscribers, starting with approximately 20 titles which include Naruto Shippuden, Bleach & Nisemonogatari. HD-philes should probably take note that it's rare for 1080p to even be broadcast on TV so it's possible that Crunchy's 1080p option is really an upscale from either 720p or 1080i.
