Death Note and Hunter x Hunter boxsets, sweet.
 I wasn't even expecting a DN boxset this soon. Also planning to get the 2nd Naruto movie and 1st Bleach movie, but I'll pass on the 3rd Naruto movie and pretend that was a bad dream.
I'm curious about these "3-in-1" manga volumes they're releasing. What will they do with series like Rurouni Kenshin that has 28 volumes? I'd hate to have 9 Rurouni Kenshin big volumes and then one tiny 28th volume sitting on my shelf, that'd look weird. |

Bleh.... I want to know if the Naruto movies are getting limited editions like the first movie, along with the Bleach movie(soon to be 's).
Also, I have a feeling that we won't be hearing anything about Shippuuden until AX2009. I think Viz are definately going to go all the way through the filler first, which is expected, and what they should do. I mean they can't really go and release Shippuuden simultaneously (like I thought they might)... |

Death Note box sets, heh? I've already started on the singles, so I'll stay with that. Though, it's a very good decision on Viz's part. Kudos for giving a release date for HXH, too. Now if only it would come with an alternate subtitle track for signs and songs... >.>
I think the most logical thing to do is go up to vol. 7 of the Viz Big editions with 3 books per volume and then finish it out with 2 books per volume. Though, Viz doesn't always use logic... |

Given its age and the lack of success of its OVA adaptation, Gestalt seems like an odd choice for a manga acquisition. But I'm still not disappointed by this news, as I've always wanted to know more about that story.

The 2nd Naruto movie will be 2-disc, so I doubt it'll get a second release, but who knows? As for Shippuden, I'd say it should start airing on Cartoon Network by February at the latest. I mean, the fillers will be finished by November or so, so I can't imagine them waiting to long to get Shippuden out (especially since the fillers' ratings will probably be pretty low by that point.) (note: yes, Cartoon Network, since Adult Swim has flat out said they're not interested in Naruto.) |

Strange, it's not in the article, but I'd like add this:
-Viz mentioned that HXH will be released in 4 box sets. The first box sets will have 3 discs and will include 15 episodes. -They also mentioned that they are planning a release of the Monster anime for either DVD or TV, anything they can get. It should be released in 2009. -And the release Honey and Clover anime is possibly 2009. I got that from here:

Yeah, I'd love it if they released Monster on 15-or-so episode boxsets like H x H. That'd be awesome.

Sadly no news on Shippuuden. v.v I know we won't be getting Shippuuden for awhile until after the fillers, but a little hint to when and any mini-previews would've been nice.
 Ah well, at least the movies will be good to satisfy for now. I kinda hope they do have special editions like the first one did, but if they don't, meh, no big loss.

What a surprise Gestalt the manga, well I might just pick up the manga as soon as I pick up the anime , now time for me to pick up Fushigi Yugi (as well as the anime) !!!
And I can't wait to get Hunter x Hunter, as long as Salami Studios doesn't dub it!!!!! (They did a lackluster job with Buso Renkin) |

Indeed.

I'm so happy to hear news about Hunter x Hunter. Thats a "buy the moment is becomes a preorder" show.

No news on continuing the DVD releases of Full Moon and Hikaru no Go? This does not quell my fears about incomplete releases of their future titles.
