With the second season kicking off in Japan this week, the first season just became a bit more available for IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls. That season made its debut earlier this year on Daisuki exclusively, which some fans just have a difficult time working with in terms of layout and the player. But now the first season has made it’s way to Hulu to check out, which while it has a minor amount of ads is one that has a much greater reach overall. The first season is available in full and those who are Hulu paid subscribers can watch this show in HD on your TV, mobile and computer.
The first season of the show got worldwide distribution with Aniplex handling it through Daisuki where it sawsubtitles in English, Korean and Chinese for subtitles. Aniplex has done a lot through Daisuki and almost, but not always, brings the show to other distribution channels as well.
