You know, I'm sort of appalled. Everyone on here complains and bitches (...erm, including myself...) about how Viz continues to fail as epically as ever in respect to Monster.

Yet, why doesn't anyone ever bring up that issue at their panels? I mean, that's the best place to do it, really...

It's a Chinese cartoon in the mornings, voiced by Ocean-Vancouver.

Do you really think that Viz would allow there to be a Q&A at their panel? That would mean that they actually care about what anime fans think, and we know that's not true!

I guess the people there likely aren't concerned about it. Perhaps that's telling of it's sales and reception to a wide spread audience.

They don't allow a Q&A at their panel? What the hell? Is this fact?

I really, honestly doubt that.

Typically if there is a Q&A then it would be in this writeup. But I see no mention of a Q&A other than the panel took place right after Flow's Q&A.

Usually there's a line about "taking questions from the audience" or something to that extent. Viz hates fan interaction though. I'm amazed they actually had a panel.

Of course that not true, they had Q&A before(they had one at the last San Diego Comic-Con, though not at Anime Expo but that was because they ran out of time).

So the Aniplex panel hit upon Viz publishing the manga to their Blue Exorcist (meh), but the Viz panel didn't touch on their own licensing/potential distribution of Tiger & Bunny?

If Funimation and Sentai can talk about their far-off future plans for shows, at least in broad detail, why can't Viz?

BTW is it not possible that the mentioned AX Viz panel ran out of time for Q&A by design? Seems very possible to me Wink

That's if the (AX '10) panel was scheduled for 50 minutes instead of 60 minutes: link. Leaving 10 minutes (or so) early saying there is no time for Q&A?

They often try to avoid Q&A periods nowadays in order to not deal with people asking about the statuses of Monster/Full Moon/Prince of Tennis/MAR/manga cancellations/etc. Heck, they rarely even do panels nowadays.

They've generally been very unresponsive to fans since they've become Viz Media and turned corporate.

Good Ole Viz, caring more about the The Bottom Line than the fans (ie the people who keep you in business).

Well, I just bought $200 worth of Viz stuff at Rightstuf's recent sale.

So does that make me the problem, or the solution Laughing

Am I the only one excited about the Cinamoroll release? He's my favorite Sanrio character! Maybe they'll license the movie now too....
