“New” Anime Streaming Service “HIDIVE” Launches

Is it worth the investment?

Rumors were floating that the Anime Network was planning a relaunch of their streaming service, and this appears to be it. Called HIDIVE, for $3.99 a month you can stream a bunch of anime be it subs, dubs, and everything in between.

Today, the selection is mostly comprised of content that’s been available for a while now, including the English dub adaptations most of which are really just streams of DVDs that have been out for a bit. Hopefully, an influx in revenue will see first-runs of English dubs like as seen on Funimation or Adult Swim, but like Amazon’s Anime Strike service, it looks pretty, but the guts aren’t there yet.
