That 'bigger and better thing' was America's Greatest Otaku which was a total flop if you ask me, so now apperently they are moving towards publishing a new newsletter about 'all things otaku and Asian-culture' which sounds really stupid if you ask me. Stu Levy also hinted about printing the next Hetalia volume if there was enough support, but I have no idea what's going on anymore. I don't have all the facts so I'm asking, what do you think about this? I know this is really old news but I feel as though we need to discuss it. |

To be honest I havn't really been keeping up with all this Tokyopop business but what i do know is that they've disappointed a lot of the fanbase with rather poor business choices. One of them being that America's Greatest Otaku crap, while others include drastic localisations (ala Initial D) and magically stopping releases without any forewarning (seriously like series get released and halfway through nothing, they just sit in limbo, way to treat your customers ). This is a rather nice thread to read if you're ever interested: http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=107572 | ||||
