Hulu's offering of anime.
It upsets me that I end up missing out on all the free & legal anime that's out there. Funimation is probably the best at offering free streaming video of their titles, and Hulu plays them as well. With that in mind, I took a moment to see what I can get for the best price of all.
Here's what's new on Hulu:

It's been a long time since I watched an anime series that wasn't just good, but a thrill to watch. The vast amounts of moé-laden anime series has just about made me give up on the Japanese TV animation scene. Fortunately a light at the end of the tunnel has appeared, in the form of Durarara!!

If you were like me, you hunted down any version of Kekkaishi you could- if only because it's an anime you had not seen yet. The first episode of Kekkaishi is a free download available on the Playstation Network, and it is also available on Adult Swim's video section. I decided to go with Adult Swim.
Exposition Gun!
Adult Swim's version is dubbed in English. I don't know if that makes a difference. My problem is not mainly with the voice acting. My problem is that I got a bad case of the first episode exposition blues. Kekkaishi could be the worst offender in terms of overuse of exposition.

In 1994 Hiroaki Samura introduced the world to Mugen no Jūnin, better known in America as Blade of the Immortal. It would receive critical acclaim and multiple awards, including the Will Eisner Comic Industry Award in 2000 for Best U.S. Edition of Foreign Material. Fourteen years after its debut Bee Train and Production I.G. adapted it into an anime, coming to our shores via Media Blasters.
