I'm not going to be surprised anymore if once Viz reveals their next Digital manga plans this summer and then launch them, fans will still rabidly complain over how it's not on the same day as in Japan or how it's not available worldwide. Don't mean to sound like a downer about this, I'm personally intrigued about this annoucement. But Viz just seems to get flack for just about anything these days (and people don't bother telling what are all the things Viz gets flack for. I've read them all a thousand times before, I don't need them repeated to my face for the thousand-and-oneth time). |

That last statement scares me. Just release my manga in graphic novel format the same that you've been doing for years on a regular basis without dropping any titles and giving digital manga special treatment and I'll be fine.

A story about VIZ that doesn't include the rest of Monster on DVD means I don't care.

And not a single f*** was given.
This! And the same goes for Tiger & Bunny which i'm sure will take 2 or 3 years to release on video.

I couldn't care less about their digital offerings, as long as they print the GN's and don't do digital-only series I'm not gonna complain.

What's with people with three letter names and being CEOs of US anime companies?

I also have no intrest in their digital releases. Right now I just want Inuyasha TFA on DVD, the Bleach movies on DVD (at this point I like the movies more than the series), and the rest of Naruto Shippuden on DVD including the movies.
If no DVD and/or no dub then no money. |

I still think going digital is the wrong move, as those who legally buy anime/manga do it so that they can own a tangible product.

Well that just means that they haven't finished their six-sigma training. If he get sigmas four through six he'll become Kendal or something. It's like how angels get wings for saving somebody, but terrible. |

This. I need to have physical copies of my volumes. I mean, I am completely in support of what Viz needs to do to reach out to more consumers, but I hope it never gets to the point where they stop doing printed books. |

Agreed. As long as there is a physical version available, whether it pertains to books or anime, I'm happy. |

Digitally what I'd like to see Viz do is release some of the series they've decided to drop like Reborn and Gintama. I'd buy Gintama digitally, that's for sure. I would like physical copies but if that's not possible it's not. I used to be totally against paying for digital manga but I have a tablet now and I really enjoy having manga on it and I don't mind paying for it as long as the quality is good.

Memories of Nobody is such a beautifully crafted film. One of my all-time favorite movies, it is.
I own a collection of over six-hundred tankoban for the reason you described. I want the stories I love so much to stand the test of time the way I know they can; paper has been allowing people to do that for centuries, so how can I be so sure about virtual paper when the Internet's existed for only a few decades? |
