Well, as long as AonE's sticking with it, we can stay up-to-date with the anime as it continues in Japan, and I for one (can't speak for everyone) will get bilingual DVD's from Shopro/Viz. I'd have prefered ADV over anyone else really. My only issue with Viz is their slow release schedule and tendancy to put only 3 episodes on a disc when the series os over 100 episodes long. Oh, and their name pronunciations on the dubs, insisting on tensing the middle sylable (i.e. inuYAsha, kaGOme, naRAku). i remember back when they pronounced the techniques in Japanese (Ranma)... But i don't usually bother with dubs anyway. And i think that if it does go to TV in the US, it's at least going to Adult Swim, like InuYahsa. I'd be happier if it went to like the Action Channel or somewhere they get away with having things uncut. I've been waiting for the series to get licenced though. I know i'm pretty much alone on that one. i like to have DVD quality picture and sound and such, and I can't really get that off a fansub. and Chinese Region ALL anime DVDs have really crappy subtitles. So a series getting licenced in the US is the only way to get that. i'm just glad it wasn't the evil demon gutter sluts at 4Kids that got their hands on it.

Internet rules of thumb:

#1 Online Petitions do not work.

#2 Email will not survive the spam filter.

#3 Hand-written snail-mail letters will be read.

#4 Large enough quantities of hand written letters will get noted.


Always remember: to todays corporate decision makers, the internet is a cheap marketing tool closely tied to black magic and voodoo. But if someone smacks down a casing with 5'000 [paper based] letters onto their desk, well, they sometimes do happen to understand.
