  • Bleach DVD #6 Bleach DVD #6 is the beginning to one of the best story arcs in anime I have ever seen. Unlike most shounen anime, fights in the Bleach Soul Society arc are fast-paced, loaded with substance and never dull.

    Hikaru no Go DVD #10 This is a perfect example of an anime I've continuously put off to the side for later, and yet when i finally get aroudn to it I fall in love with the series and beat myself up for not viewing it earlier!

    Naruto the Movie DVD The latest mission for our favorite ninja team? Protect and escort a spoiled actress to her next film set. Oh, and keep her from running away of course!

    Ping Pong DVD Ping Pong is a great film that blew away all my expectations and completely changed my negative view towards live actions movies. The story of friendship development through competition is superb. This is a must-see.

Japanese Webmasters Fined ¥20 million for Pirating Manga

3:38pm EDT |


The Tokyo District Court ruled in favor of 11 manga artists in a copyright infringement lawsuit involving two Japanese website owners that reportedly scanned 45 manga titles. The court awarded ¥20.32 million (about US$178,000) to the 11 manga artists. Compensation was calculated between legal fees and 35% of the average price of a manga volume (¥300, or US$2.60), multiplied by the number of pageviews.
