11:34:13 <bay|NYCC|Viz> Q: Naruto DVD... shippuden through 5 had the original box set... with the promo figures.... and now the box sets are pretty crappy
11:34:14 <bay|NYCC|Viz> A: Will let animation know
11:34:33 <bay|NYCC|Viz> Q: SJ Alpha ... shoujo beat alpha?
11:34:41 <bay|NYCC|Viz> A: That came up a lot
11:34:51 <bay|NYCC|Viz> I think internally, that's something we would like to do, we're looking into it
11:35:09 <bay|NYCC|Viz> Go to facebook and ask that question... or send an email to us
11:35:30 <bay|NYCC|Viz> and suggest what you want in it
11:36:03 <bay|NYCC|Viz> Q: Some series such as Eva original manga where the early volumes are impossible to find or expensive....
11:36:35 <bay|NYCC|Viz> A: for eva, don't think we plan to do more reprints
11:36:39 <bay|NYCC|Viz> we are releasing it digitally
11:36:57 <bay|NYCC|Viz> For monster, unfortunately there are distribution issues there
11:37:52 <bay|NYCC|Viz> Q: Why do some volumes show up but some not?
11:37:53 <bay|NYCC|Viz> A: depends on retailer, how much they can take, it's really complex
11:37:54 <bay|NYCC|Viz> Best thing i can suggest is do special orders with retailers and they might be able to get it from the distribution center ...there is always amazon
11:38:08 <bay|NYCC|Viz> Q: Related to that.... with 25 years of that... considered print on demand?
11:38:27 <bay|NYCC|Viz> A: we've talked about that.. for maybe 3 years.. it has it's own set of issues, it's still on the table, if we have anything to announce, i'll let you know
11:38:43 <bay|NYCC|Viz> Q: SJ Alpha in UK/Aussie
11:38:54 <bay|NYCC|Viz> A: as you know for viz, our rights are NA focused, so that's all we have at this time
11:39:01 <bay|NYCC|Viz> I think that was it.... thank you for the questions
11:39:30 <bay|NYCC|Viz> A: Depends on series
11:39:31 <bay|NYCC|Viz> Q: When you release viz big, do you still release individual volumes?
11:39:45 <bay|NYCC|Viz> Usually those are big sellers so usually they will stay in print
11:39:46 <bay|NYCC|Viz> Thank you everybody
