Great leaping space monkeys, that's insane. I also think $20 is a bit too pricey, which is why I only ever buy manga from Kinokuniya where you can get the US releases in a price range between $11-$17. Anyway, they mentioned Princess Ai and some OEL like Peach Fuzz, but no news of what the other 24 titles are... |

Let's see where I can start to your [sarcasm]totally amazing post...[/sarcasm] 1) Yes I know who Samuel L. Jackson is and yes, I do watch movies on a regular basis... In fact, I recommend that you go and watch "The 51st State" as I believe it's Mr Jackson's finest movie yet... [Of course I'm biased seeing as it's set in my home city of Liverpool!  ] and please forgive me for not being exactly au fait with what you previously said with the movie quote by Mr Jackson... *said in a sarcastic manner just in case he doesn't get sarcasm*
2) Where did you get the idea from that I'm superior to you? *Noticed this person seems to have a thing against him considering he said something just as idiotic in another thread* As for Death Note, I was just stating my honest-to-God opinion about it because frankly I can't understand why it's so bloody popular considering there's much better manga out there published by Viz like Claymore, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Midori Days and Saikano! As for the RSOM thing, I am going to put 200% effort into it especially as I hope to work with a very talented person that I know to have them do the art while I work on the story side of things... I read a preview of Mail Order Ninja and I found it to be quite an enjoyable read myself, same with Dramacon... BTW, FYI I do read reviews and I also decide to buy what I want to buy just on instinct as well a lot of the time which is why I don't like Death Note because a) It's overhyped and b) I definitely couldn't get into it! Oh, and I also forgot, if the manga version of Death Note is bad, I'd hate to see what the live-action version is going to be like... Oh, one more thing... Please kindly stop putting words into my quotes as you remind me a lot of that idiotic loser, steventheeunuch due to the way the both of you act and I can't believe I forgot that you're the idiot who made a fool out of himself in the way that you wanted people to boycott ADV just because the ARIA manga was supposedly cancelled by their Manga division even though there's been no news as to whether it's been cancelled or put on hold... Look at me, I'm not complaining because the English version of certain manga by them like Louie the Rune Soldier and Gamerz's Heaven have been put on hold because there's loads of other manga I can read like Ai Yori Aoshi, Negima and Genshiken to keep me going whereas your obsession over ARIA scares the hell out of me... There is a difference you know between being a devoted fan of a manga and being an obsessive Otaku with you coming across as being the lattter, in my opinion! |

This doesn't even make any sense man. It's like you wanted to speak ill of me but couldn't figure out how so you just stuck with 'idiotic loser'. Pretty bland, man! |

I don't know what they've been buying but Tokyopop manga here averages $NZ25. That doesn't become $50 in any first-world countries I know of. |

Lemme see here: NZ$ 1 = $0.6305 USD NZ$50 = $31.50 USD Aside from maybe a few DVD's and a couple of artbooks, I don't recall any Tokyopop product that costs $31.50. |

Another thing I wondered from this, if their partnering with Funtastic, does this mean that manga will be released in Australia in more 'regular' bookstores? Currently to my knowledge it's only stocked in comic shops, Electronics Boutique, and large bookstores such as Borders (whose prices are highway robbery) and Kinokuniya.

I didn't start with the insults, blame Lyrai as he was the one who started it!

*Thinks Steven should grow up as he's about as funny as bubonic plague and wonders if it's a crime to express a certain opinion about a certain manga* |

I don't give a flying rat's ass who started it. When I tell you to can it, you can it. That means no excuse, no whining, and no turning it into the blame game to save face. If you really wanted to save face, you'd have alerted a mod to it in private from the very start, not thrown on intarweb battle armor and jumped straight into the fray.
