A month ago, while announcing a new partnership with Joost.com, and following the creation of its own branded channel on YouTube, FUNimation Entertainment referred to some videos it was already running on Hulu.com, and described its plans to create a full-fledged FUNimation presence on that site.

Now the company has announced that it has "officially launched" on Hulu, with the addition November 7 of episodes from the Shuffle!, Peach Girl, and Slayers anime series.

These episodes join a considerable list of those that were already running on Hulu.com: Black Blood Brothers, Blue Gender, MoonPhase, Mushi-Shi, Shikebane Hime, Kiddy Grade, Mr.

Stain on Junk Alley, and XXXHOLiC.

The official launch of the FUNimation presence on the U.S.-accessible-only Hulu.com means that fans of anime distributed by the company have many avenues for discovering titles they haven't seen before, or reacquainting themselves with previous favorites. As well as showing free episodes on Hulu, Joost, and YouTube, FUNimation's own home site continues adding new episodes each week for fans to view for free, with a download-to-own option. While it is running many of the same series showing on Hulu, it is also showing others such as Darker than Black, Ouran High School Host Club, and Guyver, one of the titles that it acquired through the Sojitz/ARM acquisition.

The collection of titles offered on each site varies slightly, so fans will want to check out all of them, to make sure they don't miss a thing.
