Yo dawg, I heard you like Miyazaki!

So I put a Totoro in your Toy Story so you can watch while you Catbus to infinity and beyond!

Seriously, watch this movie.

Manga: now leaving an internet near you.

We may not have the option of Manga Fox and OneManga much longer. Manga fox has taken down their series that have been licensed by Viz, and more cuts are on the way. (I don't know about OM, but it seems likely they will be taking similar action.)

On MF, here is the list of manga taken down thus far. (three links in the post, apparently being updated whenever another goes down.)

HERE is the reason. Basically, what it boils down to is that manga sales in the US have dropped 30% from 2007 to 2009, and the manga companies blame scanlation sites. This probably isn't news to many of you, but MF IS taking action.

Although, personally? I'd LIKE it if Viz would translate a liiiittle bit faster... (I"m looking at you, Pokémon adventures.) Since both Pokéspe and FMA are gone, I guess I'm going to have to go back to the bookstore more often now... Even if Viz IS waay behind in the first.

It's mainly a problem for us geeks because manga is an EXPENSIVE habit. (Manga: my antidrug. Because when you buy manga, you can't afford drugs.)
