There's no third season but there is the recent 2-episode Fighting Wings TV special (and case you're wondering, it specifically addresses if there'll be a third season). ADV really needs to go after some Gonzo titles and other recent titles and not more AMG if they want to stay competitive... |

Glad to hear they're trying. It'll be nice reading some new Cromartie manga.

I'd heard from a reliable source that ADVs manga dept was essentially dead, so this is good news.. if anything actually does eventually reach stores at least.

icepick:
Only if Robotech, Watchmen, and Transformers 2 bomb. Conan:
They technically can't control their manga getting picked up by other companies, unless they renew said licenses. I think it's more about them trying to debunk rumour-mongering otaku.
Mermaid Melody was never confirmed as being owned by them, and they didn't say how much of Sgt. Frog they picked up, either. Nor did they say how they were going to handle Sgt. Frog. prime:
No, but so what? FUNimation and Viz licensed a ton of titles they still haven't released yet. Seriously, why are people so nice to a lame company like Geneon, but they keep beating up on a true fan company like ADV? |

I would say if Akira and GitS bomb instead, since that's seem likely what the media is going to lump it with if an Eva film will ever be seriously considered to move into production. Even then, there's a lot to consider. btw, I don't read many series that ADV published in the first place, but have you seen Yotsuba's Vol. 3 that they did? |

if they think their anime wing is more important, then get out of the manga business and quit disrespecting manga readers with their crappy release schedules! I do like their anime dvds but they have straight up idiots running their manga division. I dont even remember the storylines of their manga because there is such a long delay between each volume. thats the reason why I only read Yotsuba regularly. There is no storyline.

I'm really glad they'll be starting back up again soon. Even "in the near future" is a great sign to me.
Now if only they'd finish up Desert Coral I'd be in heaven. *hopeful* |

bleuster: You might be right about Akira, but GITS might have a chance , if "I, Robot" and "A Scanner Darkly" made money.

So debunking rumor-mongering otaku involves lying to fans by saying a few cons back that Yotsuba&! volume six is ALREADY OUT?
Problem is that ADV doesn't really have any new licenses to gloat about. I mean, what, after autumn starts they have... that one shounen show (Kiba?) and Sgt. Frog (and that's only if they haven't lost it and secured a deal)? Granted, they likely have some announcements in the upcoming months, but that doesn't exactly boast confidence for some of their consumer base.
Explain to me how Geneon is "lame" (without ragging on their moe shows. Yes, I don't like them either, but their variety in the catalogue offsets that potential inbalance) and ADV is a "true fan company"? |

Hellkorn:
Rumour-mongering fans tend to be the liars... (See Cowboy Bebop 2. ) Anyway, I imagine that they mixed it up for a previous volume.
Geneon liked to stone-wall, when dealing with fan complaints. And they took forever to get with the program and sell their shows at good prices. |

So, in retrospective, Oarr's comments were basically bullshit, huh?

Does anyone know if the Manga volumes for Steel Angel Kurumi #10 & 11 will ever be released in English? I recently watched the anime and fell in love with the characters in the anime so I decided to try out the manga. The manga is a whole lot better but I noticed that there are only 9 volumes that were translated out of the 11 total. Is ADV ever going to release those? I feel like my collection is incomplete without them :/ Oh and does anyone have a suggestion towards another anime/manga series? I really enjoyed Steel Angel Kurumi and Soul Eater was really good too. If you have any suggestions please let me know ^^ I'm still new to this anime/manga scene lol so forgive my arrogance ^^;

ADV manga is dead, buried and slowly decomposing.
The only way you'll see more volumes of any of their titles is if someone like Yen Press rescues them as happened with Yotuba&! and if or when that happens there will be a news article. |

I really hope that someone picks up the company, I want to be able to get the ending to the manga series of Steel Angel Kurumi :/ I have all volumes 1-9 and it really sucks not being able to have closure with the story.
