The Hulu advertising-supported video service has announced that it will be streaming a number of Viz Media and Funimation titles, including Kiddy Grade. I cannot attest to the picture quality as I've heard of the site before and would have signed up to watch movies if it wasn't for the fact that you have to be in the US to do so. Currently when you visit the site from ourside the US you get the following message:
Sorry, currently our video library can only be streamed from within the United StatesHulu is committed to making its content available worldwide. To do so, we must work through a number of legal and business issues, including obtaining international streaming rights. Know that we are working to make this happen and will continue to do so. Given the international background of the Hulu team, we have both a professional and personal interest in bringing Hulu to a global audience.
If you'd like, please leave us your email address and the region in which you live, and we will email you when our videos are available in your area.
I would urge anyone else in a globally challenged situation so register their interest.

(This entry would have been posted yesterday, but there was a problem with the site. If you are reading this, then it is fixed)
I was wondering when it's coming out to the US, and does it come in English?
That I don't know - the article just says "in the coming weeks". I assume that it will be the English dubbed version, same as on Youtube, gaia and their website. The first FUNimation show up is Mushishi so take a look at that (I can't) - if that is dubbed you can assume everything from them will be. Actually, while I can't view the streams I can view the the comments which indicate Mushishi is dubbed, whereas Naruto and Death Note (from Viz) were not.
D8 i must see those videos!
