i only had a handful they were i think the first 5 issues i got from block buster i may still have them in a bag somewhere but i still got the dvds i like em still got the full metal panic dvd from one my favs
I'm not surprised PiQ failed, I know friends who bought Newtype USA for the dvd and centerfold, and when they got rid of those, not many people would buy them.
I'm not surprised PiQ failed, a lot of people I know say they bought it mainly for the bonus dvd and centerfold. Since PiQ didn't put the dvds in, that's why they failed.
PiQ magazine sucks ADV better keep distributing anime, american cartoons are kiddy and suck as well, I fell like america was on the verge of mainstraming anime (good anime) but it looks like the Newyork Times were right to comment on American animators being stuck in the "kiddy sandbox" while their "japanese counterparts" were "reaching for the stars"
really? i didn't know that. I wonder why? maybe disney is behind it. yeah, disney doesn't like the fact that anime is erasing the memory of anthromorphic talking animals, subliminal racism and sexism, and mediocre songs. yeah. :)
true. well, looks like things are a changing. If ADV is out the picture, who will distribute the ROE movies, and who will dub them? Maybe Al Kahn is involved..........

I actually read an issue of PiQ, and I wouldn't say it sucks but it's not as good as Newtype USA was. PiQ is okay and all, but I miss Newtype USA.

ADV going under is just a rumor for now. 4Kids can still do it because they're a bigger company.
