VIZ Launches a Bustling Anime Hub
Put on your favorite weird anime face, grab a friend, and pop a squat before VIZ Media’s new VIZAnime.com—the latest in wretched hives of inappropriate prep school scum and sweat-drop villainy. Before you scamper away and leave a huge, dramatic dust cloud in your wake, remember that this anime goodness will happily hog your internet without costing you a cent.
Feast your eyes on over 400 episodes of several popular confirmed shows, which have snuggled into their new home: Bleach, Buso Renkin (new), Death Note (complete series), Hikaru No Go (new), Honey and Clover, Inuyasha (complete series) and Inuyasha: The Final Act, Nana, Naruto (complete series), Naruto Shippuden, and The Prince of Tennis (new). With new episodes set to appear fresh each week, and additional content and features scheduled, VIZ is clearly trying to bump furry-eared heads with fellow stream-ready communities such as Hulu.
Additionally, users can “follow” shows and click to be notified about upcoming episodes, rate videos, share their own profile page, and even message other fans.
“We’re committed to developing VIZ Anime as a premiere online destination, and hope to offer a real community for VIZ Media fans to interact with each other and share their love of anime,” announced Ken Sasaki, Senior Vice President and General Manager of VIZ Media. “We will also utilize the site as a means of two-way communication to better understand what our fans enjoy most and want, and how they engage with anime and manga online. With a lot of content to select from, VIZ Anime will become a favorite site to visit again and again!”
Once you contract Shin Chan, it might do just that, Ken.
Will you pour hours of your time into VIZAnime?

It’s actually quite interesting how fast the Western parts of the world have begun watching Anime. It started in the late 90s, but the Voice Acting of Anime then was horrid. Now, there are so many Dub Licensors out there, in many languages, that Anime is already aninternaitonal phenomena. Pretty awesome, in my opinion. On a side note; My favorite Anime is Bleach
