Oh! My Goddess


Here everyone was thinking that it would be excellent if Dark Horse licensed Gantz, and yet they go the exact opposite way. Well as long as novel keep getting licensed then eventually someone has to pick up .hack/zero or at least I hope so.

I have heard that fans were not too happy and they felt Touma's style misinterpreted the original series.

Meanwhile, OMG Colors was quietly dropped from DH's publication schedule. Not that anyone was expecting it to come anyway ... Razz

Please don't be so hard on TP. I feel they have a lot of good future potential. If you want to be heard on a manga translator, be hard on Comix for bastardizing TenTen.

I love it that more and more novels are being translated and published. I hope the three "True Tenchi Muyo" novels will done soon as well.

What kind of potential are you seeing in TP? Are you excited for the Meg Cabot 'manga' or something? I've come to expect nothing but poor translations and inconsistant editing from TP. I'm collecting three series from them and when they finish I doubt I'll be buying anything else. Maybe if Stu Levy would stop calling himself DJ Milky they'd earn more of my respect Rolling Eyes And about TenTen, I am hard on CMX. I haven't bought a single title they've released. I have no respect for a company that believes they can edit a mature title into a teen rating.

I see them doing more action and ecchi titles. They are, after all, licensing the Trinity Blood and Full Metal Panic novels.
