Hi,

looking for english manga, will consider ANYTHING, just PM me with what you have and prices. I prefer to buy a lot together.

Also if anyone can do backups, otherwise thats it for me.

Thanks

anyone got any, selling any, trading any? I have a spare copy of metal gear acid if anyone wants to swap with another game.

I have been searching for Trigun FX edition high and low on the internet. If anyone has one that they want to trade please reply to this. I will trade all of the Lost Universe R1 releases for it or I'll pay $30. Please Reply

Has anyone seen the new appleseed movie yet, it was released may 10th. Just go to appleseedthemovie.com It looks totally awesome but also I am concerned with the flood of cg in anime, too much. I enjoy animation and think cg is taking too high a priority, just look at ghost in the shell two, the cg took center stage and there almost no story.http://www.appleseedthemovie.com

Well,I was just wondering how other people's pride and joy looks like.In case you are wondering what I am talking about.Anime,manga,jap music and figure collections.^_^

So,show me yours if you like.

Hey, i'm very stupid when it comes to hardware setup and I can't find any simple explanations online when I search - so I hope someone here can help. My question is simple, what do I need to play games online with my xbox?

My computer runs on wireless cable with everything upstairs, don't know if that matters. :confused: Seems like it might from what i've read but again I don't know jack about computer hardware. Any help would be appreciated. If you need any more info let me know. Thanks!

The reason I'm asking this is that in June's (#1606) "Comic's Buyer's Guide", there's an article on the economic conditions faced by many manga publishers in the US.

One of these is Central Park Media, who, due to low sales and high returns of unsold books, has laid off several staff and has sharply pared down its CPM Manga and CPM Manhwa line-ups, with some manga series cancelled while the story's in progress (including one of my favorites, "Couple", which was cancelled after volume 3 with lots of loose ends).

The question is: what happens to the US publisher's license of a manga series, if the US publisher cancels a series? Do they still retain the rights until they expire, or are their rights automatically cancelled?

Today (5/11), Funi announced that they are being acquired by a company many of you may not be familiar with.

From a PR Newswire press release:

Quote:Navarre Corporation Acquires FUNimation, and Provides Financial Update and Guidance

MINNEAPOLIS, May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Navarre Corporation (Nasdaq: NAVR - News), a leading publisher and distributor of a broad range of home entertainment and multimedia software products, today announced that it has acquired all general and limited partnership interests in FUNimation Productions, Ltd. and The FUNimation Store, Ltd.

Since January 1, 2005, FUNimation has signed product license agreements including Noddy, Winx, Akira Kurosawa's Samurai 7, My Dad the Rock Star, and a co-production agreement with sports icon Tony Hawk.

For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004, FUNimation's audited results included net sales of $63.7 million, $81.6 million and $72.4 million, respectively, and pre-tax income of $24.9 million, $30.5 million and $29.8 million, respectively.

Eric Paulson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The acquisition of FUNimation is an exciting transaction for everyone involved -- our customers, our two companies and Navarre's shareholders. The FUNimation transaction validates Navarre's corporate strategy, which focuses on continued growth and content ownership through licensing while continuing to leverage our distribution assets." Mr. Paulson continues, "FUNimation brings a wide assortment of high profile brands, combining home video distribution with exciting broadcast and third-party licensing opportunities. Their relationships with content owners, coupled with their brand development skills provide great opportunities across our entire enterprise. Gen Fukunaga and Daniel Cocanougher, the President and Executive Vice President of FUNimation respectively, add additional depth to Navarre's overall management team and we look forward to their ongoing contribution."
