Viz Media Acquires Bleach Anime (06:36 PM EST): According to this report from C21 Media back on February 6th, Viz Media has acquired the Bleach anime in order to push more into the teen anime market. This comes at a time when a recent Cartoon Network interview has the commentator talking about how Bleach is very much an Adult Swim oriented show and would fit well in their line-up. Time that with Inu Yasha getting closer to finishing and it looks as if Viz Media is lining things up for their next big TV push in addition to Naruto

*prays for decent dubbing*

Ha! Not likely. Sorry to sound so pessimistic, but Viz usually has really awful dubbing with the exception of, what, Ranma 1/2 and that's only because the series is so stupidly popular that to provide awful dubbing would be just an outrage to fans everywhere. But, just look at Ayashi no Ceres...listening to the dub can induce a coma.

Well, it was only a matter of time that Bleach was licensed, though I honestly wished it wasn't Viz...it doesn't seem like its style, no offense.

The only thing I'm praying for is decent subtitles...once it hits stateside, I can't wait to rent some of the later episodes I haven't seen.

Thanks for the information Vic, as always.

Err... I do not like the idea of having Bleach liscensed by Viz, but I guess it can't be helped. (is cussing out the world in the back of my mind)

It's still probably true info that Viz will get Bleach but now everyone is getting a bit skeptical about c21's article.

Due to the fact that the article quotes staff at Viz Media BV in Europe and that Viz holds international rights for many titles that it has not decided to release in North America, Anime News Network is waiting for confirmation from Viz before reporting that the Bleach is "licensed" for release in North America.

Let's just hope it's just a rumor then.

It's not a rumour.

Cartoon Network just announce that Bleach will be coming to Adult Swim this fall.

To no surprise, Bleach debuts in September....
So far, it seems they're going in the same direction as Naruto. (releasing it too soon)
