First up, Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga is heading to Hulu exclusively on September 1st before it hits home release November 14th and February 13th. This will be the first Hulu English dub first-run to stream in several years. Before Funimation launched its own service Funimation programming used to appear on Hulu however since the rise of Funimation’s own technological advances, Hulu’s anime streaming had been relegated to mostly archives of anime that had already been released on home media.

Assiah, the realm of humans, and Gehenna, the realm of demons. Normally, these two dimensions would never intersect, but having possessed all material substances, the demons are now intruding on the material world. But among the human race, there are those who can confront such demons – the Exorcists. Born the spawn of Satan, Rin Okumura decides to hide his origins, and become an exorcist. He enrolls at the Exorcism Cram School, a training institute for exorcists located on the True Cross Academy grounds. But, his cover is blown during an attack by Amaimon, the King of Earth, and he is revealed to be the son of Satan. Terrified of Satan’s blue flames, his friends start to distance themselves from Rin… It is then that someone steals the Left Eye of the Impure King, sealed away in the deepest part of the academy, and Rin and the others find themselves embroiled in an unexpected crisis…

Next up, Sunrise has announced that they will be reproducing and remastering the English dub adaptations with Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny on the way. No word yet on a release, but it’s expected to be sometime next year.

Mobile Suit Gundam SEED is an anime series developed by Sunrise and directed by Mitsuo Fukuda. The ninth installment in the Gundam franchise, Gundam SEED takes place in a future calendar era, in this case the Cosmic Era, the first to do so.
