12:46:42 <bay|AX|Viz> let's give this to the marketing manager of viz manga and sj Eric Eberhardt
12:46:52 <bay|AX|Viz> Viz Manga is our website and app where you can read all sorts of digital manga
12:47:07 <bay|AX|Viz> availble on ipod, ipad, nook, kindle fire.
12:47:22 <bay|AX|Viz> one thing we wanted to do with it was make manga available much more quickly
12:47:37 <bay|AX|Viz> almost all of our digital volumes come out same day as the physical volumes
12:47:42 <bay|AX|Viz> all the main series come out same day
12:48:03 <bay|AX|Viz> and as mentioned, nisekoi which is coming out in print, has been released digital first before
12:48:10 <bay|AX|Viz> we've been doing this with some series, most from the pages of shonen jump
12:48:25 <bay|AX|Viz> we also have a selection of mature manga available digitally
12:48:29 <bay|AX|Viz> this is only available on the website
12:48:38 <bay|AX|Viz> this is not available on the tablet or website because of age restrictions
12:48:48 <bay|AX|Viz> March Story, Dorohedoro, Nana
12:48:56 <bay|AX|Viz> we're also bringing back class series
12:49:07 <bay|AX|Viz> Please Save My Earth, MAR, Case Closed
12:49:26 <bay|AX|Viz> one more thing is that it's a great way to share manga
12:49:37 <bay|AX|Viz> you can go ahead and send digital manga gifts through the website
12:49:40 <bay|AX|Viz> this is only available through the website
12:49:53 <bay|AX|Viz> but if you give to an itunes gift card

12:50:46 <bay|AX|Viz> we're having a special manga monday sale
12:50:58 <bay|AX|Viz> different titles are on sale every monday
12:51:11 <bay|AX|Viz> most series cost about $5 and on sale they are about $1 off
12:51:25 <bay|AX|Viz> that covers it pretty much for the graphic novel side
12:51:29 <bay|AX|Viz> now let's talk weekly shonen jump
12:51:42 <bay|AX|Viz> for those who aren't familiar
12:51:48 <bay|AX|Viz> we made a video
12:52:21 <bay|AX|Viz> we made that video just a few months ago
12:52:43 <bay|AX|Viz> last january when we began first doing it simultaneously
12:52:37 <bay|AX|Viz> it was pretty much the most exciting thing to happen as far back as we could remember
12:52:58 <bay|AX|Viz> a lot of people asked us why we couldn't make it available day and date
12:53:14 <bay|AX|Viz> switching to digital allows us to bring you the same chapters on the same day as in the japanese magazine
12:54:19 <bay|AX|Viz> (going over the details of the platform)
12:54:34 <bay|AX|Viz> we're very excited that we will have a new manga from the creator of dragonball appearing

12:55:18 <bay|AX|Viz> we also have a newsstand app available
12:55:23 <bay|AX|Viz> the reason we did that is because

12:56:18 <bay|AX|Viz> available now on ios app store

13:20:23 <bay|AX|Viz> please keep the questions viz related
13:20:38 <bay|AX|Viz> Q: Any plans to re-release monster?
13:20:44 <bay|AX|Viz> A: I guess you didn't come to the friday panel
13:20:48 <bay|AX|Viz> There are no plans at this time
13:20:51 <bay|AX|Viz> it didn't do as well as we hoped
13:20:52 <bay|AX|Viz> and the best thing
13:21:13 <bay|AX|Viz> if there an anime series you love, make sure you get the first release and get it early, because that tells retailers there is interest
13:21:25 <bay|AX|Viz> it didn't quite do as expected so there is no news at this time
13:21:40 <bay|AX|Viz> Q: any plans to bring back the canceled shonen jump series in digital?
13:21:46 <bay|AX|Viz> A: you mean gintama and reborn?
13:22:01 <bay|AX|Viz> i can't give you a real solid answer, and our eic tells me he's considering it and he means it this time
13:22:11 <bay|AX|Viz> and hopefully stay tuned in the next couple months
13:22:25 <bay|AX|Viz> one thing about viz doing digital is there a lot of manga being brought back
13:22:55 <bay|AX|Viz> Q: Usume Pun Pun(?) relesae (from solomin creator)
13:23:04 <bay|AX|Viz> A: Nothing we can say at this time
13:23:25 <bay|AX|Viz> Do we want to, sure
13:23:46 <bay|AX|Viz> If you harass us on facebok and tiwtter about series you want to see
13:23:56 <bay|AX|Viz> our licensors are watching those pages
13:24:21 <bay|AX|Viz> Q: Episode by episode downloadables?
13:24:28 <bay|AX|Viz> A: Lots of shows are available in the store
13:24:47 <bay|AX|Viz> Unfortunately, it's separate from neon alley, but you can get seasons there
13:25:05 <bay|AX|Viz> Q: Non-anime animation on Neon Alley?
13:25:16 <bay|AX|Viz> A: our home video is distributed through warner bros so they send us some cool trailers
13:25:20 <bay|AX|Viz> our heart and soul is in anime
13:25:35 <bay|AX|Viz> but if you want to see it, hit us up and we'll definitely think about it
13:25:53 <bay|AX|Viz> Q: Are you planning to do a same day relesae as Japan for the Eva manga?
13:26:17 <bay|AX|Viz> A: Like for vol 13? will let you know when it comes time, but nothing we can tell you
13:26:36 <bay|AX|Viz> (it releases rare enough that it's definitely possible)
13:27:02 <bay|AX|Viz> Q: Series that abruptly stopped.. Kurumi Hima?
13:27:17 <bay|AX|Viz> A: Don't know the story behind that..might have been a licensing issue
13:27:22 <bay|AX|Viz> I think that's going ot be one of the harder series to bring back
13:28:11 <bay|AX|Viz> Q: I'm excited that you are reprinted Ramna 1/2 in original format, i remember that a lot of old viz publications, the sfx was hand done in english
13:28:14 <bay|AX|Viz> A: Yeah, for years...
13:28:18 <bay|AX|Viz> Q: doing that again?
13:28:32 <bay|AX|Viz> A: have to look into that... odds are it'll be the digital lettering
13:28:51 <bay|AX|Viz> Q: Redoing all of the sounds?
13:28:53 <bay|AX|Viz> A: Not sure...
13:29:03 <bay|AX|Viz> I think we do draw all of those in the graphic novels as they come out
13:29:08 <bay|AX|Viz> i know we don't do that in sj for speed reason
13:29:17 <bay|AX|Viz> actually, it probably will now that i think about it
13:30:17 <bay|AX|Viz> Q: Neon Alley App (for roku think he said?)
13:30:11 <bay|AX|Viz> A: Tell us online
13:30:13 <bay|AX|Viz> bug us
13:30:46 <bay|AX|Viz> Q: One short for the first chapter included?
13:30:51 <bay|AX|Viz> A: Don't know at the moment
13:31:42 <bay|AX|Viz> Q: So you mentioned warner bros being your partners?
13:31:47 <bay|AX|Viz> A: They are just our home video distributor
13:31:51 <bay|AX|Viz> completely separate from warner japan
13:32:44 <bay|AX|Viz> Q: Lagrange - Flowers of Rinne... first season BD was 1080i release, reason for that? Second vol 1080 i or p?
13:32:41 <bay|AX|Viz> A: We're working on the issues surrounding that
13:32:50 <bay|AX|Viz> We are aware and are working on it
13:33:02 <bay|AX|Viz> end
13:33:03 <bay|AX|Viz> Thank you for coming
