I feel bad for the people that bought Monster. It looks like you guys have been Vizapped.

If Viz isn't gonna bother releasing more of Monster when there's reasonable demand for the series, then they should just hand the licensing rights to a distributor who can better care for it.

Monster is following the Full Moon path. It ain't coming out.

At least dubs exist for the unreleased portion of Monster.

I hope I am wrong.

This feels like the biggest rip off on buying anime so far. Now i really think Viz just wanna go and intentionally f**k people up. I probably wont buy stuffs anymore from Viz, not just because of this but for some personal reasons. First, it's because of not licensing Hunter X Hunter Greed Island. Second, they still have the guts to release singles with out artboxes. Third, the uncollaboration of Bleach Boxsets. It's too far annoying seeing them the way they are now.

I really feel bad for the Monster fans. It's going on an entire year (has it been a year actually at this point?) since the first set was released and the rest still hasn't come out and Viz still hasn't given word as to when the next set will come out or why the long delay.

'm a bit confused on the minutes for Vampire Knight Vol. 3 - 100 minutes would usually be around four episodes, not five (since I'm assuming this volume has Episodes 9-13). I'm going to assume this is just an error somewhere because it would be messed up if Viz doesn't add the last episode.

So they're only releasing two things this month, one of which is live action and the other is a single that doesn't even come in an artbox? You're really worrying me Viz, please tell me that your manga department has better sales plans than this.

As a person who wants to see Vampire Knight without paying for singles, I have an even longer wait. That's sad when only one title comes out in November from Viz Media.

You can get the series in full for $40 on Rightstuf.

Not sure why you're going to continue to wait. I doubt Viz will even release a boxset-type release for Vampire Knight.

yeah, VIZ is on my personal sh!tlist for how they treat their series. I know I'll never complete my Project ARMS set being that the second season is HELLA expensive while the 1st season is dirt cheap Sad
