Adam, has Toei or whomever currently has the rights ever said why this is the case? I already knew that everyone was out of luck as far as SM went, but I've never heard any reason why they did it... Your "rights hell" is the first time I've heard any sort of reason.... what exactly is going on, if anybody actually knows, that is ＞＿＜

As far as everyone has heard, Naoko Takeuchi herself doesn't want Sailor Moon licensed outside of Japan.

I guess that's the price we pay for completely butchering a great manga and anime. This is why we can't have nice things.....

I'll second the Kiddy Grade novels especially with the news of a second 'series' of Kiddy Grade anime in the works.

Hopefully you guys are already on this, but whomever gets the new Rozen Maiden series that's just started in Young Jump is gonna make money hand over fist....

You have a choice
1. Wind.
2. Do not Wind.

Oh, btw, since Shueisha is now re-issuing the old RM manga instead of Gentousha, does that mean that somebody else besides Tokyopop could actually get a license and do a DECENT translation this time?

Gemini Knives novels
Kiddy Grade Vs. manga
Kiddy Grade Pr. novels
Uta Kata manga
Kiddy Grade Reverse manga
Kiddy Grade novels 1-2

Of course, I'd like the other novels also but they are mostly short story compilations and less of a stand-alone nature.

I wouldn't object to a license rescue of the Junk Force novels as DrMaster never got beyond volume 3.

I second(or third..) the Kiddy Grade, I know alot of people who didn't like Kiddy Grade but it was very interesting to me and I wish to see more

SPICE AND WOLF!!!!!

Oh, and also GOSICK vol. 2-6. TokyoPop has canceled the series, so SevenSeas can hopefully pick it right up and continue the wonderful series.

Also, SHAKUGAN NO SHANA. Viz has no plans to release anymore volumes of it. So, maybe SevenSeas can pick this title up?
