Manga lines

I was just thinking about makiing a section for manga lines. There is several of them: Pocket Comics (obscure), Flower Comics (obscure), etc. — J U M P G U R U ^■TALK■ 20:49, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For Viz manga lines? It would be appropriate to cover that topic, at least briefly, but as usual, sources are needed :) -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 21:10, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ratings

Are the ratings notable? I was going to make a section but I wanted to ask you first. Iit has a lot of reliable sources. : ) – J U M P G U R U ^{■ask㋐㋜㋗■} 17:25, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, they aren't. It isn't really important or relevant to Viz as a company, nor very unique to them. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 17:36, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New strategy for airing Naruto

I hear that Viz will be offering streaming viewing of Naruto for free a week after it airs in Japan. That's a pretty innovative strategy, and I am sure there are already enough refs for that to be mentioned and well-referenced.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 19:00, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dragon Ball was NEVER released Uncensored!

Why does it say that dragon ball was released in Censored and Uncensored forms? Viz has NEVER released the entire manga 100% Uncensored! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.64.183.93 (talk) 16:23, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't say it was released in its entirety, it says it was released in both formats. According to a reliable source, the company did re-release DB in an uncensored form. Do you have a reliable source that says otherwise? -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 16:33, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"According to a reliable source, the company did re-release DB in an uncensored form." That line should be removed entirely unless a link to this "source" can be provided.

Also, the line stating that in 2009 Viz is opening a 3 story store/theatre should be edited. If the place is up and running, then it would be nice to offer readers more detail on it. If not, then delete it. 2009 is almost over. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.217.117.108 (talk) 01:09, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

98.217, the source in regards to Dragon Ball being released unedited has already been cited. http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/216.html WhisperToMe (talk) 02:11, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Logo usage

Someone has been adding the Viz Video logo repeatedly. The user in question, HappyLogolover2011 (talk · contribs), has been adding this with a caption that says it came on Elmopalooza and Sesame Street videos from 1998-2001. I think it is unsourced and violates our crystal ball policy. Can someone look into this mess, please? Thanks, Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 21:33, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't recall VIZ having anything to do with Jim Henson or the Muppets. Also, according to Amazon it was Sony that distributed the VHS. I can confirm that it is an old logo of ViZ circa 1995 as they are on my two Ranma 1/2 tapes, the Jim Henson connection is dubious. —Farix (t | c) 22:59, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It may also be possible that "Viz Video" and "Viz Media" are two unrelated entities. It seems pretty unlikely that the videos in question would be part of the subject of this article. (ESkog)^(Talk) 02:24, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
