News UK's ITV Close to Signing Deal for Hulu Video Site
posted on 2009-08-26 09:54 EDT
Variety magazine reports that the British television broadcaster ITV is close to signing a deal to import the Hulu video-streaming service and its programming into the United Kingdom. According to the magazine, Hulu is offering ITV an equity stake of 25% or more in the British version of Hulu, in exchange for access to ITV's own programming. However, the discussions have reportedly not resolved the issue of advertising, especially since ITV already has a streaming service at ITV.com.
Hulu is a joint venture of News Corporation, NBC Universal, and Disney-ABC which features many popular anime series such as Naruto, Bleach, Inuyasha, One Piece, and Fullmetal Alchemist. However, Hulu is officially available only in the United States. If a deal is signed, it will not necessarily cover all the anime content currently on Hulu.

Jormungand GN 11The ending of Jormungand has something important to say ... but never figures out the actual message.
Sunny GN 1Sunny is an interesting glimpse into the lives of children who feel that the world has forsaken them and how they manage to cope with the help of an old car and a little imagination.
Missions of Love GN 2Ultimately Missions of Love still reads like a sexy book for middle schoolers. Yukina is far from a likeable heroine, neither Shigure nor Akira come off as particularly desirable male leads, and the less savory elements of the story detract from its romance components.
Dengeki Daisy GN 11Dengeki Daisy began as a romance with some computer crimes thrown in and has morphed into an action story with some romance thrown in. What remains true, however, is that Kyousuke Motomi has created an interesting, fun story with memorable characters who do their best, whether it's for good or ill.
Limit GN 4The addition of a murder-
Strobe Edge continues to be a thoughtful manga about a girl discovering what it means to grow up. Featuring actual nice guys (at least so far), both a heroine and a rival who are sympathetic, and attention to detail, this is a series that romance fans and those borderline sick of romance should enjoy.
More than a successful yuri story, Girl Friends is a successful love story. By taking into account the girls' friendship, and therefore their genuine fondness for each other's personalities, Morinaga gives us a story with characters in a relationship that is both more believable and easier to get behind than in many a romance manga.
Demon Love Spell may not be quite as unusual as it began, at least within the catalog of Mayu Shinjo, but it is still a fun story that lacks many of the things that can make her work distasteful.
If Stepping on Roses got too melodramatic for you a while back or you could never quite come to terms with Sumi's personality, the ending might not thrill you. But those readers who have been enjoying Ueda's ode to the 19th century melodrama with a shoujo sensibility will find the majority of the conclusion to be downright satisfactory, if not a little better.
It may look like a silly, lowbrow action series on the outside, but once again, it surpasses expectations on the inside.
