After adding chunks of Bakuman to Neon Alley/Hulu last summer and fall, Viz Media has now placed the final round of episodes of the series on the Hulu service. The full 75-episode run is now available on the service for streaming in its original Japanese language form with English subtitles for the US viewing audience that Hulu works with. Now, let’s start talking home video release!

Based on the manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata, Bakuman originally aired in 2010 to 2011 for the first season and 2011 to 2012 for the second as animated by JC Staff. It was licensed by Media Blasters but was never fully released nor was it dubbed. The original manga series ran from 2008 to 2012 and concluded with twenty-volumes, which were published by Viz Media.

Plot concept: The creators of Death Note return with this inspiring tale about the power of dreams. Students Mashiro and Takagi aspire to become professional manga artists. As they team up to pursue their goal, the pair learns what it takes to make it in the manga industry, sharing laughs, tears, romance, the devastation of failure and the glory of success along the way.
