Which makes me feel better about it's low rank on the list, which is likely due to it being way past its pre-order/buy-on-release window.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104289923016279094.post-38153361160266256982011-04-16T10:11:13.348-04:002011-04-16T10:11:13.348-04:00I think it's a number of thing that lead to th...I think it's a number of thing that lead to this the lousy econmy and Boarders being the major factor but a lot of other things that probablly hastened this process IMO such as Fan Entitlement, the loss of a lot of Tokyopop's staff over the past couple months, and mis mangement probally being the least of it. But that's just my two centsAaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436011893893390711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104289923016279094.post-30927372076972155162011-04-16T06:46:44.832-04:002011-04-16T06:46:44.832-04:00The Borders fall out is probably going to create m...The Borders fall out is probably going to create more problems for the industry sadly. I think Viz, Yen, and Vertical are pretty safe but I do worry about Kodansha USA. <br /><br />I'll miss Tokyopop as well. For all of their faults they did quite a lot of good for the industry. I just wish they had a better long term business plan in the end.Richard Beaubiennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104289923016279094.post-76356216093425401722011-04-16T05:54:53.741-04:002011-04-16T05:54:53.741-04:00Well, any license rescues by Kodansha USA will be ...Well, any license rescues by Kodansha USA will be of Kodansha Japan properties by definition. So Love Hina, Mew Mew, Sailor Moon, etc. were all Kodansha titles, and Until the Full Moon was recently re-released by Kodansha in Japan. DMW is a Kadokawa title, I believe, so Kodansha is probably not looking at it.Sean Gaffneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061622951360610092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104289923016279094.post-82536177071600407982011-04-16T05:43:49.398-04:002011-04-16T05:43:49.398-04:00Any thoughts on Dead Man Wonderland being rescued,...Any thoughts on Dead Man Wonderland being rescued, since the anime is being streamed on CR? I am always hopeful about license rescue.. contemplating since Until the full Moon and Sailor Moon is being republished by Kodansha. Sailor Moon is a definite, but still trying to grasp Until the Full Moon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
