According to a press release, FUNimation Entertainment has partnered with Joost to bring its catalog of full-length, legal anime video content to the online social video service. Starting in November, FUNimation Entertainment will launch its video channel on Joost with a sampling of shows from its wide-ranging library of anime, including:

• Basilisk
• Black Blood Brothers (also available in the original Japanese with English subtitles)
• Blue Gender
• Galaxy Railways
• Kiddy Grade
• MoonPhase (also available in the original Japanese with English subtitles)
• Mr. Stain
• Mushi-Shi
• Peach Girl
• Rumbling Hearts (also available in the original Japanese with English subtitles)
• School Rumble
• Slayers
• Suzuka
• xxxHOLiC

In addition to viewing these popular series, fans will also have the opportunity to interact with each other and form communities around FUNimation content. Using the social features of Joost, they can share favorite episodes, form groups around their favorite shows or character, or express their thoughts about a particular show or moment through comments and “shouts.”

I included Joost as one of my Top 4 places to watch free anime, legally. It’s great to see them add more anime to their lineup, they really needed it.
