It seems odd that all 24 episodes are available on Hulu while TAN still shows that paid subscribers will continue to get one episode posted per week (with episode 16 coming this Thursday), resulting in the series not being completed until July 14.

At least we still have a dub and 720p available as compensation.

Glad to see Sentai branching out to other streamers other than their own TAN. I don't care for Needless, but if Tears to Tiara for instance were moved to Hulu, then I'd definitely watch it.

You may want to check the anime series available on Hulu more often, cause it's already there. Linky.

Currently only the subbed version is available, though I don't know whether that bothers you or whether you actually prefer subs or not.

And here's a link to the place where Hulu lists all their currently available anime series, in case anyone is curious. Some of those aren't full series I believe, but I was still surprised they had a full 12 pages of series. I had no idea some of those were available.

Ooh, thanks a ton!

Not sure why I never saw that. I'm usually pretty on-the-ball in regards to anime streaming.

Allowing the sub version of their bilingual shows on Hulu makes sense - not that it will generate a lot of ad revenue, but it does give them greater exposure. Then those who like it or prefer dubs can either buy it or sign up for Anime Network. Seems to me to make good business sense to me.
