I figured it would be Viz to license it. The type of anime it is, and the long running story seems to attract Viz, like your example of ranma, or Inuyasha. Viz is relativly small compared to the others like pioneer, bandai, ADV, and Manga, but with another title like Naruto, with their still selling Inu Yasha, they will make lots and lots of money.

Though I wouldn't be surprised if FUNnimation (how do you spell it?) did buy the rights either. FUNnimation also would love to get the deal on really popular/good animes because after getting so many sales on the "DB/DBZ" series, they'd want more money. And if you think about it...they got "Fruits Basket"...which was the most unbelievable thing on the planet when the news came out. I mean, it's a shoujo series and they focus mainly on action...so why'd they do it? Only because they knew "Furuba" was one of the best-selling animes in Japan and they wanted the money 'cause they'd knew many fans would get their hands on the domestic release.

So, either Viz or FUNnimation in the end.

The first few episodes are like that. Get into episodes 9 or 10 and it really starts to get good. Hold in there Meryl.

Unfortunately I only have episodes 1-3 and I have to buy my fansubs...my computer just can't take the downloading process. So, I guess I'll try it out again whenever I can get a hold of my distributor. Thanks for the info, Il.
