Hotspot Shield users, join!

Hee, it appears that as for the shield users who don't live in the US, Viz is putting a barrier.
The manga is loading very slowly for me, is for you too? It used to load very quickly. The question is for the Hotspot shield users. I have a 1.5 M speed.
Also, Inuyasha episodes don't load on Hulu as of writing this. In the beginning, Hulu gave me a very slow loading vid and I couldn't seek whenever I'd want or it'd slow down, and it could get to point where nearly...

You all remember submitting your questions for Takahashi? The interview is now up on shonensunday.com! Not sure why it's not on The Rumic World, but whatever, here it is!

KnR Chapters 3-8 Will Be Gone Sometime Today!

feeds@yuku.com (jalp) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 13:00:28 GMT

Viz said in an entry last Friday on its "Rumic World" blog

http://www.therumicworld.com/blog.php?id=124

that it will leave up KnR Chapters 1 & 2 to entice new readers in. But, apparently in honor of English Volume 1's going on sale tomorrow, they'll be taking down the other translated chapters in that volume sometime today. So if you want to read them again,...

Why....?

Why does Japan get three Kyokai no Rinne volumes by the end of the month, and America gets one???

KnR Tankobon Covers

feeds@yuku.com (Yusaku Godai) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 15:20:02 GMT

I'm about to add them to the site, but since I saw that some people here were curious about the Japanese covers I thought I'd share some nice big scans here too. Gotta get my order in to Sasuga so I can scan the rest of the new art. The back covers of both feature Rokumon playing around the weather hutch doing different things. Enjoy!

Kyokai no Rinne Complete

feeds@yuku.com (Yoiko Hibiki) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 16:40:32 GMT

I finally had some time this weekend to get the website's infrastructure set up so that it looks like the rest of the sites, I got the manga chapters all divided properly and a few character pages made as well. Of course most of the sections are empty and will be for quite awhile (anime, music, etc), but I wanted them to serve as placeholders so I don't have to rescript every page when I'm ready to add a new section.

Still no new polished index up, but hopefully that...

Short clip of Rinne CM?

feeds@yuku.com (ajewell) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 05:35:19 GMT

Okay, honestly, I have no idea what a CM is (commercial??).

But I found this on youtube, and just wanted to confirm what it is. They aren't already making an anime of Rinne or something, right...? It'd be great of course, but isn't it still a little too soon??

Problem with the blog?

feeds@yuku.com (Dracula on a bike) — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 20:21:43 GMT

I was wondering if anyone here tried to post to Viz's blog at http://www.therumicworld.com/blog.php, but the comment failed to show up. That happened to me just now. (I was trying to post a suggestion to Viz.) Or, is it just that there's is a delay between when a comment...

Go to http://www.therumicworld.com/blog.php and submit your question for Takahashi-sensei! Yes, according to the site, Takahashi sensei will actually be answering a few questions that are posted for her. The cutoff is tomorrow, Friday, at 3pm pacific. Think quick. this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Viz's expectations

feeds@yuku.com (Rob Heinbecker) — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 02:13:15 GMT

Okay, so we have simultaneous release of the Rinne books in October. What do we suppose Viz is looking for in terms of sales for the book? To me, this feels like an experiment on Viz's part to see if providing the chapters online will enhance, detract or stand pat when it comes to book sales. Of course Viz won't know what the sales of Rinne would be, so its hard to judge what is 'normal'.

Truth is, Takahashi titles will make terrible barometers of sales success. The...

Problem with the viewer?

feeds@yuku.com (Dracula on a bike) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 18:28:11 GMT

Viz's viewer for KnR was operating correctly for me, until today. Now, all I get is the message "Error, Datafile(s) not found." (Yes, I am trying to access it from within the United States.) Is anyone else having this problem?

Kyokai no Rinne Chapter 14

feeds@yuku.com (Ultimatmus) — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 20:07:22 GMT

I particularly enjoyed this chapter because it portrays
the dark side of the supernatural
and I especially enjoyed the part
where Rinne beats the hell out of Masato with a cross.
Rumiko Takahashi is doing a magnificent job balancing the serious and humorous elements of this series.
After InuYasha, she's improved her ability to create serious stories and now she's balancing it well with humor.
This series is turning out to be great
and I've...

My First Viz Newsflash in Two Months -- So It's No Surprise that Not ALL the News Is New -- But . . .

feeds@yuku.com (jalp) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 22:06:27 GMT

(Note: I actually took out one link -- the one tied to the text "VIZ Media's Privacy Policy" . . . because it was the exact same routed address as the one tied to "Website". And I left in the one that talks about unsubscribing because it's the same page you'd go to if you want to subscribe in the first place. But bear in mind that this is the first "Newsflash" they've sent me since the one announcing, "Issue #5 of KnR is out . . . oh, yeah,...

Rin-Ne Manga Oct. 20th

feeds@yuku.com (ryogasgirl) — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 17:34:51 GMT

Well, fresh off the Rinne blog, it looks like the Rinne manga will be released in the US and Japan on Oct. 20th simultaneously. Only 9.99, according to them, so start saving your pennies .

Type of Manga - Comedy or Serious?

feeds@yuku.com (Sashiko) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 18:27:40 GMT

Rumiko Takahashi has done many different types of stories ranging from the pure comedy, such as Ramna 1/2, to the more serious, like Inuyasha. Which direction do you think Rumiko will take with this series? Comedy, Serious, Tragedy, or a mix?

Sakura and Rokudo...an Item?

feeds@yuku.com (ryogasgirl) — Sun, 03 May 2009 16:24:00 GMT

Okay, so it's a little early to be making any kind of assertions, but I was wondering how you all predict their relationship will progress. Will they be:
1. Just friends.
2. Ambiguously attatched to one another - Everyone knows they belong together, but Takahashi will leave it open.
3. Involved in a love triangle - or quadrangle - or polygram...
4. Will eventually fall in love.
5. Will grow to dislike each other.
6. Too soon to tell.

Going by...

Kyokai no Rinne: Chapter 2

feeds@yuku.com (ajewell) — Sat, 02 May 2009 11:33:08 GMT

Sorry, not sure it I should start a new thread for this, or just add on to the original one. If you'd rather we just keep all reactions to the new chapters in one thread, feel free to delete this one. ^_^

I just read Chapter 2 over at Rumic World (though, sorry, it seems to be gone now -- maybe they put it up too early and are waiting till a little later to put it back up??)

Anyway, I can say now that my initial reactions have worn off -- it no longer reminds me of...

If the Rinne scans are blocked in your country or if you just want Viz's scans in full quality.

Kyokai no Rinne - first thoughts?

feeds@yuku.com (yjk) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 20:51:29 GMT

After what seemed like the LONGEST DAY EVER, it's finally up and I just took a read...

Gotta say, I think I like it so far. Got a good mix of fantasy, action, comedy? Will it rate with Ranma 1/2? That's a tall order... but it's off to a pretty good start.

First, I like how -off the bat- Sakura's accepted and come to terms with the fact that she sees ghosts - they're not a big deal to her, it doesn't freak her out or anything, at worst it's...
