They really need to bring this show back revamped and fresh. People complain how abusive it was but i found it an amazing feat of experimenting with how people can survive. I hate that Hulu has completely removed the series from its site. They have also made it so you can no longer add real reviews to any of the shows which i think is completely absurd.

Now you can only post reviews through Facebook, AOL, Yahoo and Hotmail. How stupid is that? Barely anyone reviews the shows anymore and they are all really retarded reviews usually from Facebookers.

I really do not like the turn Hulu has taken by completely alienating its user base first by randomly adding already free shows to Hulu Plus and now this horrible review system. To be honest i barely use Hulu anymore, the only time i use it now is when i have nothing else to watch in other places.

Hulu has been going down hill lately in terms of really interesting shows, which i find odd that as soon as they added Hulu Plus their number of shows dropped dramatically. You would think them making money off the site it would be the other way around.

Or maybe that was the problem many of the people providing the copyrights to those great shows did not like Hulu’s decision to change already free shows to paid subscriptions knowing many will not pay to have such a low selection of shows let alone wont watch them anymore because of their Plus tag.

Anyway i will never forget Nasubi living off nothing but contest winnings, i was actually amazed at how many things he had won.

I agree this is what reality TV needs to be not scripted made up reality crap like in the US. I just really wish there was more of Denpa Shonen to watch.

Any word on whether or not you guys will get these? Came here to proclaim my love for the show just to find out that I had already commented about it a few years ago, haha!

Just signed up for Hulu+ and this particular series being available would make my year.

Rebecca,

Has there been any progress regarding the streaming rights of Denpa Shonen? I haven’t been able to watch the show, but I am really interested in doing so, especially the first two seasons. I would gladly buy a DVD, but it seems that none was ever released. I can’t find a place to watch the show anywhere. I did find downloads (though illegal) of a few episodes, but there were no subtitles. I found a couple of YouTube channels that had posted the episodes, but they were (justly) already shut down. Any information at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Can’t wait for this show to come back!
I’m mad that it was stopped in the middle of a season of it…

We don’t have streaming rights to the show at time, I’m afraid. We’ll keep trying!

Is there ANY update you can give us regarding Denpa Shonen coming back to Hulu? I greatly enjoyed watching this program when I had the chance to, and would love to rewatch episodes I’ve seen and hopefully see episodes that are new to me. I’m hoping negotiations are still open and progress is being made toward the show’s return to Hulu.

Please Please Please return Nasubi, R-mania, and the crazy housewife back to Hulu. I ventured to Little tokyo to rent the videos but they were in VHS and neither subtitled.

This show was honestly the best thing I’ve seen in a long time and I don’t really care for television.

The streaming rights aren’t available anymore but we’ll continue to request more of the show.

Way to go Hulu! Denpa Shonen is a fantastic show. Would love to watch more, and of course show Nasubi season to friends and family, so please keep bringing more shows like this.

I heard about these shows many years ago, but was never able to watch them until Hulu. This is probably some of the best tv I’ve ever seen. Our networks here in the US should really be ashamed for having lame scripted reality shows like ‘survivor’ and ‘dancing with the stars’.

I seriously love this series. Every time I see that there’s a new episode on Hulu, I want to dance like Nasubi whenever he received a package.

Can’t wait to see more Denpa Shonen. One of my favorite shows right now and I wouldn’t have even known about it if it weren’t for Hulu. I agree with Tsuchiya’s comments about the invisibility of the camera in the series wholeheartedly – the fact that the participants are never really mugging for the camera really brings about some moments that you wouldn’t ever see elsewhere.

Can’t wait for more!
