Streaming media portal Hulu has added a new feature-length anime film to its library with Kite: Liberator.

Kite: Liberator is the sequel to the controversial Kite anime film produced by Yasuomi Umetsu in 1998 and was co-produced by US anime distributor Media Blasters. The film was released on DVD last year to tepid reviews.

Despite other news reports that have listed the addition of Robotech: Shadow Chronicles on Hulu, the film is not listed on any page and searches for the film return no results.
