Wow awesome return of the RTO column with new writer. I agree with a lot of the point, being made on Death Note and Dragon Head since I'm familar with those title. I'm looking foward to Dragon Head the most though when it's actually releae. Hopefully the column will spread more interested in manga among fans. Glad to see RTO back again.

Hey, I enjoy that element of the series. It reminds me of Speed Racer.  But the series seems close to jumping the shark once it went to "The College Years". No, I do not want to watch you and your arch-nemesis play tennis. I can buy another manga for that. 
Anyway, did you see the Dragon Head movie yet? |

*is overjoyed*
I've been waiting for this day for a long time, so I feel selfish to nitpick, but I do wish more titles could be reviewed. Other than that... *does the happy YAY RIGHT TURN ONLY IS BACK dance* |

Good to see the return of RTO after a long hiatus. I'm glad you decided to go with the ratings rather than "Buy, borrow, ditch" like the old column. Speaking of the ratings, I found the reviews (the ones I've read that is) dead-on (glad to see someone is cutting through the hype around Death Note and not just giving it all A's.) It's also nice to see a column by someone who's fairly open to lesser known types of manga on ANN. In short, keep up the great work.

Yay, I missed RTO and I'm quite happy to see Carlos taking up the reigns. ^^ Great column and keep it going! I hadn't heard of Dragon Head before.. sounds pretty interesting. Also, it's good to hear about World-Manga that isn't pure crap, just noting from reviews, I was wondering if there was any.

Nice to see Right Turn Only back, and congratulations to Carlo Santos for taking over the reigns. Now if ANN can bring back The Dub Track, that would be just as good.
So does this mean that Carlo won't be reviewing anime anymore? |

I wonder, would ANN consider having a view area for the newest manga scanlations, rather than just commercial releases? It's great that ANN has manga reviews, but as they're only commercial right now it seems, they're about a year behind.

Er, scanlations fall into a sticky legal area where we wouldn't feel comfortable promoting them like that, so no. |

Carlo will continue to review anime. But less frequently.
I wouldn't think of it that way. For a few select readers, we may be behind the times, but for many, reviewing stuff that isn't available nor licensed means that we could be years early. For the most part we will focus on what is now available or soon to be available. However, there will be a special section of RTO!! that will focus on imported manga, somewhat like the OEL / worldmanga section. Its a delicate balancing act, trying to review for the majority of our readers, and trying to write for our more active readers, two groups that have very different reading & viewing habits. There's also a sticky issue reviewing fansubs & scanlations. A bad job by an amateur translator could result in a good manga or anime getting a bad review on ANN. It happenned once before, and since then we've been very careful to avoid potential repeats of that event. And as Zac said, there's the legal/ethical issue. ANN isn't anti-fansub, but under no circumstance can we be seen as pro-scanlation/fansub (which unfortunately means that most people think we're anti...). -t Last edited by Tempest on Tue Jan 24, 2006 10:59 am; edited 1 time in total |

I would like to compliment your column. Very nice job! I liked the way you put both the pros and the cons in each review.
I have a little request  . Would you be so kind as to review the Lupin the 3rd: World's Most Wanted manga in one of your future columns? I really enjoyed that manga, but I have never been able to find a review of it in any of the sites that review manga! So, I'm hoping you would review it .

I'm crushed.
I guess Dazzle isn't to everyone's tastes, but I love its bizarre sense of humor. If you don't like the first volume, however, you probably won't like the series (though starting at the last chapter of vol. 1 it's less episodic)--but I hope a good number of people give it a chance and reach different conclusions on the specifics Mr. Santos covers. I found it to be highly emotionally engaging. |
