Tell me about it! My hometown is New Orleans. I wonder if this is from remnants of Hurricane Rick.

Shouldn't cause any delay considering that Simom & Schuster does Viz's distributing for manga and the printing press is located else where. The only titles are at harm are the titles that are in current production (translating, editing, ect...).

It's the same for the anime DVDs, Warner Bros handles the distributing and most like the authoring and replicating as well.

I just got ANNtrolled. I thought they had just shut down. Then I skimmed and read something about a manhole. Then I thought they licensed the manga Manhole. I should just read everything from now on.

SoCal's dry as a bone.
Most likely one of the problems is the ground is so soaked from the prior storms, it can't absorb this one so well resulting in the flooding. They warn us of landslides when we get multiple storms that cause street flooding that the ground being so unusually wet makes it more prone to fall on us.
Had this storm come a week from now, it probably would have been no big deal.
Or if it hit down here...it'd be nice to get some rain down here. I still say here we are, 21st century & we can't manage our flooding & drought areas? Of course that would take planning & cooperation between communities & even states.

If I recall correctly I think ADV had a similar situation a while back too.

Ouch, that's nuts, I hope they have insurance, otherwise, that could be expensive.

I think that was with the hurricane or whatever IIRC. They were all OK, but they had to leave their office or whatever.

What about the anime. Why didn't they save the anime. Now well never be able to see the trird bleach movie LOL
Relax. That's probably still over at Studiopolis in LA: safe from the flood. And I think most of their anime (and most of their already-finished manga) are warehoused elsewhere. Wish them luck, though. Getting the ground floor cleaned up is likely to be a pain (at least, from what I can tell, they don't have a basement).

It can be mandatory depending on the circumstances (example, did Viz take out loans to acquire or renovate the building?).
