I guess Hulu will be streaming. Maybe Anime Network.

This series is, hopefully, going to be a lot of fun animated. It takes the Gary Stu character type and goes to the extreme; all in the favour of humour.

I'm just a little worried that some of the humour will be lost, due to how reactionary Sakamoto's classmates are to what goes on. If it manages to pull this off, then this will probably be the best pure comedy of the next season.

In other words, I'm glad to know that it got licensed for release here. The manga's been enjoyable, and I'm looking forward to this one. Hopefully this means that Crunchyroll will stream it and not Hulu (as I'm Canadian).

If this is a Hulu exclusive I'm going to jump off a cliff.

Only a guy as stylish as Sakamoto would get licensed so early

If that ends up being the case I think I'll join you.

Prior to Fall 2015, Sentai licensing a show was more or less a soft confirmation it was going to Crunchyroll as well. Then Chivalry ended up a Hulu exclusive. And then this season Hulu got 3 exclusives from Sentai. If it eventually gets to a point where all Sentai simulcasts going forward are Hulu-exclusive, I'm gonna flip a tit. And I'm someone who has Hulu!

So hopefully this goes to CR.

One was a Hulu exclusive in the US, with the other 2 going to The Anime Network (with the Hulu exclusive also being available there outside the US, including for subscribers in Canada).

Sentai's Hulu simulcasts are usually available on Anime Network for Canadian citizens (also often the UK and Latin America.)

I don't know that "usually" would be the correct term, given that Sentai has only had Hulu exclusives for 2 seasons thus far, and last season was the first time Sentai's show exclusive to Hulu in the US was available to other countries on TAN.

One can hope they will follow through this season, but autumn's Chivalry of a Failed Knight doesn't appear to be available from Sentai on any service other than Hulu.
