Funimation has announced that it has acquired the license to stream Fuji TV’s noitamina (Animation spelled backwards) late night animation block, with House of Five Leaves currently available and the next program in the block in The Tatami Block beginning its simulcast on April 22nd.

This represents a massive coup for Funimation, as shows from the block have been previously licensed by the distributor, with the most recent acquisition in Eden of the East. The simulcast will also be available on YouTube and Hulu, though it is not known at this time whether the YouTube streams will be available in HD.
