Viz Media licenses Hunter x Hunter (2011)

[GingaDaiuchuu]

It's ridiculous how long we have to wait for each set, but at least there's only one more after this one. I wish we got any kind of special releases at all (other than that one SteelBook), but at least once I have the complete series on Blu-ray with the dub, I'll be content. If they ever want to re-release it in a more extravagant form, I'll be more than happy to double-dip.

Once they finish 2011 I wouldn't mind seeing a rerelease of TV '99 and the OVAs finally getting released over here. With a new dub for all of them. 3 BD boxes would be swell((31-31 for the TV) & 30 for the OVAs)

I'm one of the few who likes Blue Water and can admit they did a terrible job with the original show's dub so I understand wanting a new dub with the much better Bang Zoom 2011 cast but with that said...

The original DVDs sold terribly for Viz when they had the license (hence the OVAs never getting picked up in the first place) plus there's no Blu-ray in Japan, do you really want to see them upscale them all themselves? Death Note, Bleach & InuYasha made sense because they were major sellers for Viz in the past but out of those released, only Death Note's upscale turned out good so far.

There's also another issue since the DVDs were missing the second opening and second & third endings because of music rights crap and just like it did back then with HxH, Nana & especially Monster with it's rearranged score, that will affect sales just like any potential upscale issues will. We're kinda seeing it now with the response to InuYasha's BDs since it has yet to be confirmed if they will include the Johnny's-related songs like on the DVDs.

To think we might actually see this whole thing released. I will never understand Viz's glacial release schedule.

[Buckeye]

It's about time it comes out. Just one more volume left to go.

[WTK]

Thank goodness. Only one more to go after this, right?

All signs point to 1 more set (episodes 124 - 148).

What I wouldn't give for Viz to do an LE for the final set containing an artbox with room to house all the previous releases (one can only dream).

[Animefan1995]

Yeah, Set 6 is long overdue now that the show is getting close to the end of its Toonami run. Two more releases left to go.

Given how they've been releasing the set since Set 3, I expect it won't be until August/September for the next Set and March/April 2020 for the final one, so 7-8 months for a new HxH set.

Waiting for Set 6 myself so I can buy that, Set 5 and The Last Mission in one order.

[Mach Rider]

I do like that the licensors are wising up to putting openings and endings on YouTube (Hello?? Where was this like 9 years ago??), but I too am eagerly awaiting Viz to hurry up and get Set 6 out. Wasn't anticipating the first Diamond is Unbreakable set AND Megalobox to get solicited first. HxH release is taking way, way too long.

People got what they wished for when they wanted Toonami back, for better or worse.

Edit: And now Boruto too?!? Seriously Set 6 better be solicited within the next couple of weeks. This is ridiculous.

[Rhys2753]

I'll be happy when they get done posting them all, tired of seeing only Slowhand's postings(appreciate your services don't get me wrong) just waiting on set 6 news.
