I've heard good things about HxH, so I'm happy that they've decided to release the series in box sets. And I'm still stunned that they're going to release 2 Naruto movies in less than 4 months between each other. Shocked

Well I am glad to hear about Vagabond. It's one that I have been wanting to check out, and at a new bargin price I have no reason not to.

I know a lot of people will be happy to hear about the HxH releases, and in season box sets no less. I am pretty sure Viz has always dubbed there anime, but any word on whether or not that one will be dubbed? I imagine if they are trying to get it on TV then it is, but they didn't say they were trying to do that either.

I feel sorry for all the people who bought the DVDs for the series that they no longer plan to release.

Anticipated release dates for NANA and Honey and Clover anime would've been nice....... Confused

I hate how companies will announce licenses, and then we don't hear anything from them for over a year. I'm still waiting for a Funi panel to announce Ouran and DtB release dates, and was hoping it would be NYCC, but I guess not.

Guess It's back to the fansubs for fans of POT, Full Moon, and Hikaru no Go...

Only had One Pound Gospel in Animerica issues and single comics. Good thing I waited for the second edition graphic novels.

Given what they're doing to Full Moon, I'm getting more than a bit worried about these two series. It'd be awful if they released a handful of NANA DVDs and then just stopped. I think I'll hold off on renting Full Moon until they decide to get around to finishing it. If I like it, I'd want to buy it, and I have enough incomplete series thanks to Geneon, I don't really want to add in series from Viz as well (although I will be preordering NANA and H&C when they finally get their dates...worried or not.)

Well, given the way they've sped up the broadcast, they really have no choice there.

I'm really unhappy about TeniPuri, but I doubt it's Viz's fault so much as other factors. But, there's no point in placing blame in a post on an internet message board, as it won't achieve anything. I'm going to go stare forlornly at my TeniPuri box sets now Sad

Oh, how I have been waiting for this day. Hunter x Hunter finally getting some R1 DVD releases. I only wonder about pricing per episode, "collector's editions", and whether or not they have the OVAs. Regardless of the pricing though, totally gonna buy every single one of them. I love Hunter x Hunter, own every single volume of the R1 manga released so far, and about a dozen cels.

Heh. Looks like someone got tired of the rampant read & rack going on in the bookstores. Anime smile Well, no big deal. It's not like we can't look reviews up online and come back the next week.

This sucks since I just bought volumes 1-7 of Full Moon during the last Viz sale. I'm also sad that the other two series are on hiatus. Then again not much from Viz will surprise me since even the amazing "Critic's Choice" Maison Ikkoku has been out of print for close to a year. It really seems that Viz's anime line is really focused on shounen action with drama and sports titles vanishing left and right. I'm really starting to doubt if I'll ever see NANA or Honey and Clover.

This report conflicts to what I've read on various other places, where Viz were quoted as saying the titles were "just on a break".

Also, I can only hope that Viz DON'T pick up any novels for 2009. If they do I might actually be physically sick, since how they ruined both the Shana novels and manga. Such a huge waste.

That's usually corporate-speak for "they sold like crap but we're going to pretend we haven't given up on them so our paying customers won't hate us too much."

They're just censoring the things no one else wants to censor.
