The spring 2020 anime adaptation of the Shironeko Project game with Shironeko Project – Zero Chronicle is handled by Funimation when it comes to domestic streaming and we’ve seen them handle it on their service. They also brought out the simulcast previously on Hulu during that chaotic season. With the dub wrapped up not that long ago, they’ve now brought that to Hulu so fans can check it out here in full.

Plot Concept: The series follows a young adventurer who hails from the Astora Isle, who joins up with a man named Kyle, and the two set out together. After meeting a curious talking white cat and a mysterious young girl, the whole crew uncovers an island in the sky–where Kyle falls into darkness.
The series has the rest of the adventuring party sailing the skies on the island to find the Great Runes, and to heed the words of their fallen friend.
