Funimation to Stream Anime on Joost for free

Only in English!

Grasping onto their continuity failing market Funimation decided to go to Joost, the internet TV service no one uses, in order to stream samples of some popular shows thus encouraging customers to purchases them on one of those shiny disc things.

According to AnimeNewsNetwork he lackluster list of titles include:

Basilisk
Black Blood Brothers
Blue Gender
Galaxy Railways
Kiddy Grade
MoonPhase
Mr. Stain
Mushi-Shi
Peach Girl
Rumbling Hearts
School Rumble
Slayers
Suzuka
XXXHOLiC

To the this proposition even less interesting the majority of the titles will only be available dubbed in English. Three titles, Black Blood Brothers, MoonPhase, and Rumbling Heart, will also have a Japanese with English subtitle option, but these do not include the two good shows in the program.

Overall it appears to be another failed attempt for the American Anime DVD industry to hold onto their failing market. If they released the entire series on Joost I might be interested… that is… if I wanted to use Joost.
