After announcing that they would be doing away with their free subscription offering, Hulu will have a tall order in convincing those types of accounts to sign up for its $9.99/month account. For those who maintained an account strictly for the new anime shows Hulu secured each season, here's what they'll be offering for the Fall 2016 anime season. Is it enough to make you convert to a paid-subscription account?

The biggest score for Hulu was securing the streaming rights for Girlish Number, a series that as piqued many anime fans of the "Magic Girl" sub-genre. I wonder how much they had to cough up to Diomedea to secure the rights? It's a safe bet that Crunchyroll and FUNimation were probably in contention as well.
