Viz and ADV Talk Manga While AIC and Geneon Speak Out About Anime
ADV Manga has announced the release dates for Steel Angel Kurumi Volume 1, Those Who Hunt Elves Volume 1, and Demon City Hunter Volume 2. All three volumes will hit stores on December 16, with a suggested retail price of $9.99US
AIC has pushed back the Japanese release date of the second episode in the Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki OVA series until December 21 in Japan. Postponed from a November 21 street date, AIC states that the delay is to ensure that the episode is of the highest possible quality.
Viz has a replacement program for Volume 2 of their One Piece manga. Apparently, page 146 was cut off at one point, and page 193 was a wrong page substituted for the final page of the book. In order to receive a free replacement copy of Volume 2, readers are asked to tear the final page out of their volume (The one that says "To be continued in Volume 3!") and send it to:
Cascade Print Media 3520 South Pine Street Tacoma, WA 98409 Attn: One Piece
The replacement will take four to six weeks for delivery, and all requests must be in by May 31, 2004.
Geneon Entertainment made a few surprise announcements at this year's Las Vegas Comic Con. Geneon has acquired Gad Guard, Hajime no Ippo, Ikkitousen, and Demon Lord Dante. In terms of CDs, Geneon announced that they should have three titles out in February 2004: Chobits Character Song Collection, the Fruits Basket Original Soundtrack, and the Last Exile Original Soundtrack
