Unhappy times for ADV: After bungling a ton of titles that were eventually taken away from them and then given to Funimation...After mishandling their manga division and having those titles go onto hiatus/out of print status...After repackaging their already out in thin-box titles (Azumanga Daioh, RahXephon, and Evangelion are the ones I've noticed) into more expensive boxes...After the moe fan freak out over Clannad being released sub only...After all of this, they have lost the license to Yotsuba&! - whose hiatus has been the consternation to many a fangirl and boy.
As for the shaky print status of Aria vol. 4 - I am so pissed. I can't believe they were surprised by the surge in interest in that particular volume. Did they forget that ADV only put out the first 3 volumes or did they just think that fans who already owned that print of those volumes would buy again just for the hell of it? And I'm also pissed at myself because I saw a copy at B&N while on vacation and did not pick it up since I didn't have three yet. In retrospect, it was a poor move. After some confusion (many title solicitations have been canceled for March), it seems like volume 5 is still a go. I'll be getting it regardless of if I get the other two volumes by then.
This week's Bleach: blah blah blah oh, someone's going to release blah
