One of the things we do love when it comes to anime is the growing range of distribution options and that while they may not all launch at the same time, companies are not limiting themselves solely to their own network or main distribution channel. Sentai Filmworks always lists that there will be multiple carriages when it comes to their licenses and digital distribution, and that means at least The Anime Network. But they do roll out their series elsewhere over time to places such as Netflix and Hulu. And this week sees the start of a few more series on Hulu, which is important since it allows for easy embedding and sharing but also a more mainstream audience that might sample a show and get involved. Check out the episodes below to see what these series are like and if they tickle your fancy.

Samurai Harem
His skill with a sword is magnificent but his SOCIAL skills need a LOT of work! After many long years perfecting the art of fighting, 17-year-old Yoichi Karasuma is sent down from the remote mountains to begin new training. But what he’s really going to learn about are more practical things, like electrical appliances, modern clothing and, most especially, how NOT to make girls to want to kill you. That last lesson is one Yoichi may not survive, as his new dojo is infested with the infernal creatures in the form of the Ikaruga sisters.
