I am so pleased with how VIZ released this book I sent them a little "Thank You" e-mail just to let them know that they did a great job with this release and that I will continue to support any future releases of this quality...I might even snail-mail them a letter since they did so well on this!

That is cool! I will do that as soon as I get my Daizenshuu.

That's not a bad idea, maybe if enough people do this we'll have a better chance at getting the rest of them.

I agree! If everyone can come together and thank VIZ for this job well done. We will defiantly get more Daizenshuu. We need to create demand!

That was the idea! :wink:
--------------------------------------------
I'm not really familiar with any of VIZ's products other than their Dragonball stuff, but I've noticed that they like to re-re-release things, so I was wondering, will they do any re-relases of the Daizenshuu that they translate? I know it wouldn't be for a while but it seems like something they would eventually do, even though it's totally unnecessary with the way they seem to plan on releasing them.

If you become a member of Amazon, right now.

But it's crap, because I just checked my track order thing and it says I'll get my stuff on the 15th :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Haha I feel sorry for you. I know what you're in to. I can't wait for mine either. But I have to wait 3 days till they get it, then 3 days to ship. I can't wait that long. I want it in my hands!!!!!

I know the English Daizenshuu will be good if the members here gave it a thumbs up.

Keep up the good work folks. If Daizenshuu one continues to sell well, we should get the others in no time

For those that have the English Daizenshuu already, feel free to give it a five star rating on Amazon.

You know, you don't have to check the box that says that you own the product on amazon to give it a rating. While we're on that topic, though, I think it'd be helpful to add some tags to its amazon entry to make DB fans not in the know about this release (I know, it's hard to believe that there are DB communities outside of this forum :P) have an easier time stumbling into this. Viz hasn't exactly done an awesome job hyping it up any. I've seen a Borders ad about it in the August US Jump, but that's about it :?.

The book is doing extremely well in the rankings. I actually meant that some of us could review the book so people know what they are buying.
