Would love to see them expand their Viz Signature line again.

Judging from the amount of questions on the topic, looks like they want to push some pay downloads. Kicks me that they name 4chan, the other survey did too, guess they see the potential for business there as merch purchasing threads are a constant.

Thank you for reporting this!
My anime request was for Parasyte The Maxim, mostly because I want it to go to a company that will dub it and try to get it on Adult Swim. My manga requests included Silver Spoon and Akatsuki no Yona (Yona of the Dawn). I tried to keep in mind that Viz is owned by Shueisha and Shogakukan, and they frequently publish shojo from Hakusensha. I'm not sure if other publishers are in their realm of possibilities (I don't think they have ever published anything from Kodansha, for instance), but I should have asked for Gekkan Shojo Nozaki-kun anyway, now that I think about it. In the comments, I wrote an impassioned plea for Silver Spoon, noting that I bought it in French even though I don't read French! Maybe if we gang up on them in the survey, they'll finally give it a chance! |

Considering that a lot of the anime in Toonami is from Funimation, I would like Funimation to license Parasyte. Besides that, they usually have the better english dubs, in my opinion.

I just want them to do physical releases for their Viz Selects, I want Future Diary! Other than that Arpeggio, JoJo, and Hanayamata would be awesome anime licenses. Hope Viz licenses To Love Ru and The World God Only Knows as well, seeing as how we already have the animes.

I found it odd that the list of places in the question about where you buy anime included HMV for Canadians, but the corresponding list for the question about where you buy manga didn't include Chapters/Indigo/Coles for Canadians (major oversight).
I made it abundantly clear that I'm only interested in buying anime and manga on physical media (although I do watch streams if they're free), I did indicate my preference for combo packs (I mainy watch anime on my Blu-Ray player, but I like also having a DVD for portable viewing options like laptops or standalone DVD players), and the only license I suggested for both anime and manga was Minami-ke (outside chance they could license the anime, I doubt they'd even have the option to get the manga since it's from Kodansha but it doesn't hurt to ask). |

I requested Hunter X Hunter (2011) that show badly needs a dub for exposure and toonami hinted they would consider it if it had an english dub!

Yes, but as far as we know, Funimation hasn't licensed it yet, and Toonami airs anime from Funimation, Viz and Aniplex America. I don't think anything they've aired was released by ADV or Sentai. So as long as Sentai doesn't get it, and it gets a dub and a chance to air on Toonami, I'm happy. Hunter x Hunter would be a fantastic license, too. I didn't think of it. I hope they'll consider it even though it's long (not as long as Bleach or Naruto, but not as popular, either). Last edited by Agent355 on Tue Nov 11, 2014 3:13 am; edited 1 time in total |

Yup. submitted my survey answer last week itself when it opened up. I generally check their Facebook page for latest news and was quiet happy to see a survey.
yup also shamelessly marked I don't buy anime  But gave my sincere feedback on the manga titles I collected in comments and also manga I'd love to see licensed. Also suggested license rescues especially for some excellent shoujo manga titles from Tokyopop that never got completed.
Suggested the following to be licensed- Akatsuki no Yona Historie Last Game Saiyuuki Gaiden Akagami no Shirayuki-hime Love so Life 7 Seeds And the following license rescues (incomplete Tokyopop titles + some other companies)- Dazzle Shinobi Life Happy Cafe Saiyuki Reload Cantarella Also requested something absurd from them- to make available manga in India. Actually wanted to request them to make the titles available at reasonable costs via online purchases. Hope this message somehow gets through to them. |

All I want is Giant Killing! I know its a long shot, but its not easy being a soccer fan and an anime fan, so this series really does it for me.

With To Love Ru, I'm surprised they haven't officially released it yet because the manga finished over 5 years ago. With the To Love Ru Darkness, I can see them being more hesitant to officially release it here considering it how borders on being porn. |

I just did the survey and I hated it. I mean really, there's only one "check all that apply" but yet you gotta PICK ONE for everything else. I mean c'mon my options on where I buy my anime are not limited to ONE.
