US anime distributor Viz Media has removed free anime streaming videos from its website. Links to episodes of anime series at viz.com now show basic series info, instead of specific episode info with Hulu-embedded videos, as well as a link taking users to https://viz.com/watch/streaming.
@WTK on Twitter noticed the removal of the embedded Hulu player.
VIZ Media no longer has anime streaming anymore on their site (it was available for free via embedded Hulu player). Various URLs now redirects to https://t.co/G7RvMCh276. https://t.co/qwp18qobGg mentions their various streaming partners. pic.twitter.com/jyysVK0OQq

If a fan wants to watch episode 159 of Boruto, he or she will now see this page [https://www.viz.com/watch/streaming/media/boruto-episode-159/11570/sub] instead of [https://web.archive.org/web/20200905021846/https://www.viz.com/watch/streaming/media/boruto-episode-159/11570/sub].
It was just last month when Funimation and Viz Media announced a partnership to bring the original Naruto anime, Hunter x Hunter, and many other series to Funimation.
The streaming page shows links to nine platforms for fans to watch anime. Among them: Tubi TV, Pluto TV, Hulu, Netflix, HBO Max, Vudu, Netflix, The Roku Channel, Crunchyroll and Funimation.
