Glad to see it simulcasted, but unfortunately VIZ got it. Their streams are less than favorable, and for a high-action series like Zetman, this is not going to be a good combination.

360p streams, fast-paced animation...no thanks.

Hopefully this will mean that VIZ is planning to release the Zetman manga, though!

You can select 480p on Hulu.

It is interesting to note the video was actually uploaded on April 30, 2012.

I so wish I had your time machine.

Though in this timeline, it says March 30, 2012.

If only I did have that time machine. Even if it could only transmit information through time, I would always get the simulcast predictions correct (not to mention being rich and retired).

On a more serious note, I edited by original message to fix my mistake. I did indeed mean March 30.

Viz doesn't have stream website. Hulu is the one who will stream it.
Viz should let CR stream it like Aniplex always did.

That's sarcasm. I live in Canada, and can't watch anything Viz licenses for streaming because they only use Hulu for some weird reason.


THIS. SO MUCH THIS.

Streams are normally the only way I can watch anime period. Can't find a VIZ title that isn't Naruto or Bleach on DVD though so...

I had to do the same thing with Lagrange that I'm going to have with ZETMAN.

Evil or Very Mad

At least it's being streamed legally for some people.

Seriously, VIZ. Get your own video server.

I feel sorry for people who didn't watch Lagrange in 720p, the show basically demands it with the visuals.

I recently bought the manga in Japanese, I pretty much own everything he's done including art books minus Wingman since I can never find it.

Looking forward to this.

Well this is a Katsura title and Viz has put out every single one of his works in both manga and anime so no one should really be surprised they picked this up (especially since Katsura's involvement with T&B was part of why they picked it up). Kinda odd the announcement is so last minute though. They usually do this in advance.

If this means we're getting a US release of the manga finally, then I;m pretty excited.

Well said. Looking forward to this one.

What an ad (and having it translated this time really enhances it). It sort of reminds me of the dark side of TIGER & BUNNY and it looks great from all angles, too. Though I really wish it were on CR and its 1080p goodness, at least there is a 720p option for Hulu subscribers…

That's because this'll be more popular in the West than in Japan! Laughing

I was pretty much thinking the same thing. I really liked the promo, then saw that Hulu was going to be involved. Sigh.
