Hey! Looks like those Canadians might finally be able to watch Sailor Moon again after all these years! It's not perfect, but it's progress in the right direction.

Woo, great news! Currently Tubi is the only free streaming app I get on my Smart TV (unless you count Crackle; I don't)

Oh, yeah. With those Viz DVDs and Blu-rays being widely available, even at brick and mortar joints like Wal-Mart, we've really been hurtin' for access.

As for this announcement, I'm glad for people who don't have much money to be able to see them but to act like Canada, in the age of Amazon ( Even HMV has carried Discotek titles), is routinely denied access to anything is silly; In the case of Sailor Moon, it's majorly ridiculous.

Unless access is purely digital and purely American, British or Australian, we're sittin' pretty.

Canadians are absolutely willing to pay; they were paying back when Neon Alley was still available in Canada. But Viz dropped the ball when they migrated to Hulu and denied access to something people were willing to pay for.

I'm wondering this myself. Very strange omission.

Okay okay okay, Viz:

Step 1: Stream these anime in dub
Step 2: Push for this app to appear on smart TVs and Sony platforms

Then we'll talk. This is pathetic what I'm reading. It's hysterical that I own all Sony platform and a Sony TV..

VIZ Media no longer has the license to those two. Monster expired years ago, and Cross Game was removed from Hulu like two years ago and has never returned, safe to say they don't have it anymore.

Seriously. How is this app not atleast on PS4 and the recent Sony TVs (that use Android TV) of a few years now.

Not that I'd use it until they add dubs since most of the listed shows I'm already watching or watched and would want to re-watch dubbed.

If Viz is migrating all their content to this place, I'll finally be able to cut all ties with Hulu. I am so done with that site.
