I also suggested Skip Beat. I really want a physical copy of that show. Judging by the reprint of the manga, it is one of Viz's best sellers.

You don't suppose releasing a 74-episode series on four-episode DVDs at around $20-25 each had anything to do with that, do you? Seriously, who did VIZ think would buy that? I like Hikaru no Go quite a bit, but I would never have bought the DVDs even if they were complete. Even today, some eight years after it was released, the DVDs still cost $20 at Amazon. |

Media Blasters didn't really promote the thing. I think Viz could at least get some of the manga readers on board. |

I recommended that they license JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Hunter X Hunter 2011, as well as (surprise, surprise) putting out the rest of Monster on DVD. My only hope is that if they do indeed license HxH, that they NOT try to get the old dub cast back, as that dub was well and truly HORRID.
It's good to see Viz finally attempting to move forward with their anime line. This might be a shot in the dark, but I honestly think a lot of this has to do with Charlene Ingram's involvement. She was one of the best managers FUNimation ever had, and if she can make the same magic happen for Viz like she did for them, then I see nothing but good things for them in the future. |

I took the opportunity to second Ben-to and suggest Sasameki Koto. If the support in this thread is any indication, the former just might actually happen.

Commentary on the VIZ survey
How many anime DVD or Blu-ray releases do you purchase in a year? 10+ You know, whenever you answer a survey question with <number>+, you have a problem. 3. What is the first thing to draw you to an anime series? Character art I'm completely shallow, I'll admit it. 6. Which of these is your favorite North American anime distributor? Well this is a loaded question. Funimation Entertainment -- I have a long running on again/off again personal vendetta against Funimation, dating back to when Slayers R first aired. Right now it's off, but Funimation, I swear, you cross me one more time and I'll boycott you until I see something that I want to buy again. Aniplex of America -- While I like Aniplex in general, blowing my whole monthly budget on a single title isn't a favorite. VIZ Media -- Wait, you guise release anime? I thought you were to busy setting static TV airtimes for your streaming anime channel Nozomi / Lucky Penny -- Opposite of Aniplex, nice but too cheap NIS America -- I like them, but they haven't released anything good in awhile. In the last few months, all it has been is one of the worst anime I've seen and a three year old show I've never heard of. Anime Midstream -- Who? No seriously, who are they? Media Blasters -- I'm pretty sure they're dead. Or stumbling around like an extra in a bad zombie movie. Discotek -- Discotek is awesome, when I want to buy a series that is twice as old as I am. But they did license the Lovely Complex anime, something the manga licensor never bothered to do. Cough, cough Sentai Filmworks/ Maiden Japan/ Section 23 -- Ask me again when I'm over the Penguindrum fiasco. 15. Where do you watch streaming anime? Okay, I'm going to be honest. I don't watch 'streaming' per se, because I'm often watching stuff in places with no internet access. So I pirate ripped Crunchyroll streams from the Site That Shall Not be Named, and if I like the show, I buy the DVDs later. Yeah, I'm a bad person. 19. When I watch anime, I watch the English language dub 20. When I watch anime, I watch the Japanese language with English subtitles version Shouldn't these two questions be mutually exclusive? I mean, if you're not watching it dubbed, then you're watching it subbed, right? Or are people watching this is some other language? Is VIZ dubbing this is French to capture the untapped Quebecois market? Are you telling me I could watch Bleach in Swahili? Because I totally would. License recommendations: Earl and Fairy: Come on, you already released the manga Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei: Since Media Blasters is dead now, somebody needs to pick this up Natsu no Arashi: I can't be the only one that liked this. Wait, am I? Majin Tentei Nougami Neuro: Dudes, you're licensing this in Europe, bring it here too |

The really sad thing for me is that I was almost able to hit that quota in the past week. I'm starting to think I have a genuine obsessive-compulsive issue about buying stuff that's going out-of-print. Interesting to see this thing from Viz of all places, though. I put in my own plug for Dennou Coil, and then the expected pleading for Monster in the optional comments at the end, but I wish I'd remembered Cross Game too. |

Of course they would. They'd just release one DVD though and then leave the other 95% of the series trapped in licensing hell. |

Nice little survey. For the last question, I HAD to mention them not finishing Monster on dvd.

Good! They should just drop the license. I believe the physical and digital licenses are separate, right? They can stream it all they want. Let someone else release it. |

Looks like viz is taking this pretty seriously. Apparently they choosing a series from this survey. I just didn't think they would be taking it into consideration so soon.
