Well, in terms of streaming services where I expected this to end up, Hulu sounds about right.
But still, I wonder why Viz hasn't announced any involvement yet. I expect them to become involved in one way or another, whether they're related to the streaming deal or not.

Hulu. That answers that question. Guess I won't be watching this anytime soon.

Ugh... I guess it's not prime? But unless Viz does something I feel like it'll get no promotion

I’d say I’m surprised but I felt like this was the main option if not Netflix because Inuyasha and the original Ranma 1/2 are both available in the entirety on Hulu.

HiDive was also an option since they had RIN-NE. But then the International/Spanish anime fans would have gotten upset (rightfully so if there is no alternative service). Hoping for a Dub since it's on Hulu.

HIDIVE also had the Urusei Yatsura reboot. Most likely there was a major bidding war for a series as high profile as Mao and Viz didn't win it till the last minute which is probably why they haven't formally announced it yet. I expect we'll see more details about it this weekend.

I don't know, since it is licensed by several European broadcasters, maybe it is geoblocked, as usual

Well it's nice to know that this will get a disc release most likely since Viz holds the disc rights so a win there.
