Viz Media Europe has the Bakuman anime, and for the UK too.

[Just Passing Through]

News from the Fandom Post

Viz Europe means Kaze right?

Has Media Blasters even finished dubbing this? As acquiring rights isn't the same thing as releasing it. Maybe it'll get a sub only stream on AoD.

Well at least if MB's release (which I started collecting) stalls forever I can get my dose of Eiji here. Good news.

This is great news. I started collecting the media blasters sets but since it dosen't look good for them I am glad I will be able to buy it here. Guess this is one of manga's six

The series, the creation of <em>Death Note</em>'s Takeshi Obata and Tsugumi Ohba, has so far broadcast two series in Japan with a third currently being planned. The anime is directed by Kenichi Kasai (<em>Honey and Clover</em>) and Noriaki Akitaya (<em>Code Geass</em>) The manga is already published by Viz under the Shonen Jump label.

The distributor physically (DVDs and Blu-Ray) of the series in the UK will be by Kaze UK, but so far there is no detail on of what the release date will be or how many volumes will be released. The anime is currently distributed in the USA under the Media Blasters label.

I didn't spot that forum post. Mind you, at least a news story has now been written up, for those who also did not notice.

Honestly i think the show lacks something in the beggining of the second season. I've quitted after episode 3 or 4 and i know that it would get better eventually but it wasnt for me anymore.

Anyway its good news for the fans.

I think the second season was quite up-and-down, it had some great moments and a fitting final few eps but it didn't captivate me with a sense of determination that the first series had, I guess partially because they were writing a series they didn't much like for much of it.

Just for people who needed 200% confirmation, MangaUK are distributing it.

Imma so glad ill be able to finish collecting this. I was so pissed of at what MB did.

Not really been interested in the series itself, the DVDs coming over here might interest me enough to buy it.

 

[devilrules666]

Well if manga do decide to release the blu rays of it at least kaze will make sure that they don't cancel it at the last moment.

This reflects my attitude; I've never really been bothered about Bakuman, but I'd pick up a DVD release to check it out.

 

[bakum4tsu]

I've dropped in second season but i might buy the show when it gets really cheap.

It's not really Manga who decides but us at Kaze for those ! Currently it is planned for Blu-Ray but I will confirm our final planning later.
