Toon Zone Talkback - Hulu.com and Joost.com Now Offering Free Streaming Anime

A lack of non-US access is likely due to marketing to non-US regions would be a problem. Company X may market itself in Region A differently then it does in America.

I feel so silly when I think '...in America'.

No... I was just refering to people who want FUNi One Piece on some form of digital entertainment since it wasn't airing on TV anymore. I would prefer the Hulu over YT for various reason. The problem with that is I don't think FUNi has the rights to distribute it digitally through the internet.

For those curious about the Joost content, I took a couple screenshots from Viz's official channel:



The videos played fine for me, BTW.

Bleach is now online!

EDIT:

Subtitled.

Man, I forgot how weird Ichigo's head looked in the first season.

Joost and Hulu have both added Shikabane Hime subbed. Joost has added Basilisk eps 1-2 and Hulu added Blue Gender 1-4

 

[Laugh It Off =)]

I was just about to post that.

Holy crap, how?

 

[wolfbane]

Wait what? This makes no sense. The streaming right to dub Bleach should be available so I wonder why they aren't. AS video never played it and most likely never will.

Ah well... sub Bleach is better anyway I suppose.

 

[Aphrodite_Mermaid]

I don't know . . . I prefer dub Rukia and Ichigo big time. Dub Orihime, on the other hand . . .

 

[another yahoo person]

Those sites should add dubbed episodes of Lucky Star. I've watched like the first 12 episodes dubbed (thanks to my kid sister) and I want more.

 

[Mr Hex Vision]

Phase out the illegal, bring in the legal.

And it gives me less of a reason to support AS in any way, shape or form. And that's a good thing.

+1

Now I knock on wood a bit hoping then Hulu.com will be available for Canadians asap

 

[In Search of The Truth]

More updates: Hulu added xxxHolics eps 1-12. Joost added Angelic Layer eps 1-26, Bastof Syndrome eps 1-24

 

[bl4ck_sp4de]

Awesome. I've been meaning to check out xxxHolic for so long. I didn't know that it was in widescreen though--all the screencaps I've seen were in full.

 

[justannae]

So it looks like FUNi is giving HULU more then just the stuff they are also putting up on Youtube. Nice.

 

[gInGeR~sNaP]

More FUNi shows make their way to Hulu. Kiddy Grade eps. 1-12 and Black Blood Brothers eps. 1-3 have now been added.

 

[Beyond Bleach]

Considering the sheer volume we're dealing how long before stuff is taken down?

 

[Tahoe Girl]

Even my 50-something-year-old dad is watching stuff like xxxHolic thanks to these services, so I have to say it's a pretty effective means of getting people to watch these series.

I registered to Hulu just to watch Ikki Tousen. It sucks that you can't create favorites on there (your queue videos disappear once you watch them in the queue), but I like it. Plus, it works on the PS3!
Now, we need Manga to get in the game. They seem to be handling the Internet distribution (streaming and downloading) of some Bandai shows including Gurren Lagaan and Gundam 00. Bandai proper will also be good, along with Toei, Kadokawa (makes it possible for Haruhi and Lucky Star), and other animes Gong (who has Ikki Tousen) has the rights to.
