Fuck! Are they goddamn retarded or something? (Obviously they are.) Maybe if they wouldn’t fuck up the translations to a nauseating degree I might THINK about buying their crap.
But even then what little they have licensed doesn’t please me. (I’m not encouraging their licensing either. It’s troubling frankly.) I’d rather not waste my money on half-assed material. I’ll just keep buying the raws from Kinokuniya and happily downloading my scans. They can burn in hell. Fucking greedy ass Americans.

  I do buy manga when I can, but the combination of slow releases and series being cancelled at random do make me leery to start new series. I’ve had several series dropped on me at this point.

  :The fact that manga is “long-form” entertainment, with many series running to dozens of volumes (Naruto Vol. 48 is due out in June), even taking into account the fact that manga is very attractively priced compared with traditional American graphic novels, it is very expensive to collect the entire series in paper.; Naruto isn’t worth collecting at all You want to collect something -stamps -diamonds with color -coins that are old -video game consoles with GOOD games -yard tools -family photos …

  Right, the recession has nothing to do with low manga sales. All manga readers have lots of money to spend no matter what the economy says.

  Are you kidding me? Manga is the cheapest it’s ever been. It has nothing to do with price.

  *Also the exorbitant price of manga in the USA is to blame, I guess.* well well, a dollar or more compared to US-made comics… if we where so lucky over here -_-” they complained about the same thing over here to (scanlationons and fansubs) but when you think over it price might be the biggest fault over here i Norway and rest of scandinavia… ordenary pocket from european or US 45nok(7,5$) Tokyopop & VIZ manga 95->125nok(16->21,5$) and that is the manga… Anime is like “wow….” …

  I hated the fights since they had no point. No interaction, no emotion, no progression after the fights. They were just stuffed in there. I just liked the characters and their interactions. I hope the fights are good in season …
