Viz Media’s New York Comic Con Announcements

After years of anxious speculation and hand-wringing from fans, Viz Media has finally announced plans to release the 1999 Hunter x Hunter (it’s pronounced “Hunter Hunter”) anime on American DVD in multi-disc DVD “season” sets beginning this winter.

At this past weekend’s New York Comic Con, Viz also announced plans to begin releasing the Blue Dragon anime on American DVD in September. However, the continuing domestic DVD releases of Mar, Full Moon wo Sagashite, Hikaru no Go, and Prince of Tennis are “on hold.”

Viz will publish the English language translation of “Ultimo,” the manga story co-created by Stan Lee and Shaman King creator Hiroyuki Takei.
