Del Rey really needs to fix their website, or at least update it.
I don't believe that it's been changed since before they launched their first titles. |

Damnit... since Toren Smith sold Proteus to Dark Horse, Del Rey was my last, best hope that an American licensor would be interested in acquiring Hitoshi Ashinano's Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, since they do a lot of business with Kodansha anyway and license more esoteric stuff that Dark Horse, Viz, and Tokyopop wouldn't touch.
What's taking 'em so long? |

I dount SP would licence Yokohama considering they usually targeted mangas that could appeal to regular comicbook fans. And I wouldn't call CLAMP and Gundam esoteric (though I'm not too familiar with some of their newer licences). If any company would touch YKK it probobly would be Viz back when they put out stuff like Secret Comics Japan. Still, maybe in a couple of years some companys will try to expand their linups.

Ugh, Basilisk. That manga wasn't very good. Lots of pointless fighting, and the guy didn't draw his own backgrounds, he just took photographs and used those. Lame.

That's a very common practice in manga. Whether they work really depends on the artist's style. Pictures blend in perfectly with Ryochi Ikegami's artwork, but other examples are less impressive. And backgrounds are often left to assistants to draw.
