Publisher's Weekly has confirmed news about layoffs at AD Vision. According to Publishers Weekly, as many as 40 people have been laid off, with "perhaps" 25 from the manga division. ADV declined to give details, but confirmed that the layoffs happened.
With the anime and manga markets reaching the saturation point, ADV has adjusted its release schedule to slow down the number of products they put to market. In 2005, ADV will release about 50 manga titles, down from 80 in 2004, and they will focus on titles for which they own both the anime and the manga license.

So what happens when comapnies start slowing down and start getting rid of people.... :confused:

I seem to be saying things like this a lot today...
Shut your cake-hole.
In all seriousness... at least your chances of actually getting a job with ADV have just increased by 40 people!
