Hulu’s animated programming has consistently ranked among the top ten in terms of viewing hours on the platform, with shows such as Bob’s Burgers, Futurama, King of the Hill and many more, making animation a vital aspect of Hulu’s business. With the intention of leveraging the growing interest in adult animation, Hulu is rolling out a new sub-brand, specifically created to accommodate all its animated and anime-themed content, as initially reported by Variety. This new destination, named Animayhem, will now be the go-to place for existing hits and fresh content like Solar Opposites and Koala Man.
The new sub-brand will provide access to an impressive catalogue of animation, featuring 2,600 episodes from 46 traditional animation series and a staggering 18,400 episodes from 435 anime series, making a total of more than 20,000 episodes of animated enjoyment. Consequently, Hulu is marketing the platform as the streaming service’s “Animation Destination.”
Animayhem, unexpectedly launched just a fortnight ahead of the latest Futurama reboot, marks only the beginning of Hulu’s ambitious strategy to dominate the animation arena. The streamer has commissioned new episodes of Mike Judge’s King of the Hill and plans a significant presence at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, with a compelling experience titled “Hulu Animayhem: Into the Second Dimension.”
Currently, the hub is readily accessible as part of the standard Hulu subscription, allowing subscribers to binge-watch Archer, Family Guy, and hundreds of available anime series including One Piece and Naruto.
