I think the reason the new seasons of the dub aren't being released "online "anymore. Is because they are trying to get more people to buy DVDs s. I'm not saying the dub isn't doing well. (I think their sells are excellent) I do think after the first two seasons, and after moonlight parties, they were a drop of views, The next season to be dubbed is supers, and stars. These seasons are not as popular as the first three seasons. Also with piracy, and illegal sites. They would need as many sells as they can. So I think they decided to stop showig the S dub online fotr tha reasn. So it won't be too out of place.

I think that's part of it but also anime seems to be largely moving away from Hulu in general with Hulu purging large parts of their anime content and anime companies relying less on Hulu and more on anime specific streaming sites like Crunchyroll and Funimation. I also wonder if the switch to having all the free anime content from Hulu to Yahoo View probably has something to do with it.

They probably make more money by not releasing the dub on streaming and just selling the DVd / blu Ray. Understandable as I’m sure acquiring the rights to SM was very expensive. They need to profit heavily off this property to release more goodies (like R movie in theaters, and maybe more special items)

My response from Hulu.
The image is all black. So, what did Hulu say?
Sorry not sure why it will not upload. Image is a little cut off but I think you still get the gist.
I'm going to look at their response as hopeful as it didn't seem like a generic computer generated response. ^_^
