posted on by Jennifer Sherman
North American anime distributor Funimation began streaming the Hal anime film's English dub in its entirety on Friday. Funimation posted the first seven minutes in July.
The anime premiered in Japan in June 2013, and Funimation announced in July 2013 that it acquired rights to the film. The English-dubbed version premiered at Anime Expo this past July, and Funimation shipped the film on Blu-ray Disc and DVD in September.
The "near-future romance" film Hal follows a girl named Kurumi (voiced by Bryn Apprill in English) who lost Haru (Chris Burnett), a boy she liked, in a plane accident. A robot "Robo Hal (Haru)" turns into her substitute for Haru.
