Anime Streaming Coming to 'Game Consoles' This Fall
« on: July 04, 2012, 10:41:08 PM »

Wii U hasn't been specified, but at least the idea is neat.

Neon Alley, a 24-hour anime service from Viz Media in the vein of Netflix, will be coming to game consoles this fall.

The service will include entirely dubbed and uncut episodes of shows (and entire films) from various distributors including Viz Media, Aniplex USA, and Tai Seng. It will debut at $6.99 per month and offer limited commercial interruption.

As of right now, a list of consoles the service will debut on is unconfirmed.

Oh, Aniplex USA. That means there's a chance that there will be a reasonable way to watch The Garden of Sinners and Madoka Magica. Previously, those titles were only available in expensive Blu-Ray box sets.

Madoka Magica is on Hulu (non-Plus). I guess we now know why it's not on Plus, though.

I guess there was no word on whether or not the option of subs was there?

As well as Crunchyroll, which is where I was able to watch it. Shame on me for that slipping my mind. Also, The Garden of Sinners is available to rent on the Playstation Network.

There's no explicit mention of a version with Japanese audio and English subtitles being made available. Tai Seng is distributor signed on and it would be difficult to imagine all of their titles having an English dub. Well, fingers crossed for multiple ways to watch the shows being available.
