The 1999 Monster Rancher anime adaptation animated by TMS Entertainment
is now available on Hulu for streaming. The series is adapted from
Tecmo-Koei’s monster breeding series of games whereby monsters are
created using various methods, from using CDs and DVDs in the
PlayStation and PC versions of the game to using the various input
methods of the first generation Nintendo DS version.
The animated series also ran in the US as a part of two major
animation blocks, as the series was edited for content and dubbed for
broadcast on the syndicated BKN and Fox Kids blocks over three seasons
in the early 2000s. The series comprises a total of 73 episodes and Hulu
currently has the first 12 English dubbed episodes posted.
