Questions from Flying Hippy

Totoro101 · Movie Executive Producer

I was a huge big fan of marvel and DC comics for a long time a few years back,i loved Ghost Rider as my faverate comic book hero and the Justice League/Advengers Crossover story line from a little while ago with the avengers and justice league entering each others dimensions before crossing pathes,with Thor battling superman,which was pretty incredible stuff.Also liked the supergirl comic books.But my main reading source is manga these days,iv read the whole battle royal saga and enjoying currently the School Rumble and Death note shows along with battle athlete,Dragonball,Love Hina,A.I love you and Bleach.School Rumble is my faverate,a charming story of high school life with cute main characters (tenma chan being adoreable!) and funny episodes.

I think there is a distinct Japanase Anime theme to a few of the members on here, but would you be mostly doing American Stuff?

I like Top Cow productions, their Witchblade, Darkness and Tomb Raider comics are all good and lots of cool related toys for them too.

Hi Totoro101,

I was a big fan of Manga and Anime years ago, I Liked fist of the North Star but the movie had been complete cut to bits half way through.

I had the Crying Freeman graphic Novels and a few one offs.

I will be doing Manga Graphic Novel Collections.

I will be stocking School Rumble Volume 11 but am not sure as to the release date.

Will be also stocking complete season uncut DVDs. At the moment Im waiting to find out what region DVD they will be, most DVD machines these days are multi region.

Hi NymVette,

I will be doing American Comics as the UK comics seem to be a year or so behind on some of their story lines. I will also be getting comics from the smaller publishers as few of them do have talented writers and artists.

As mentioned their are a lot of cool toys out their, years ago the Japanese Transformer use to transform and have bb pellets that fired from them. Saw one at a film convention go for £170
wish I bought one as a kid, they were around £5

Sounds great Flying Hippy,looking forward to seeing your store ^-^

NymVette · Movie Producer

Yes I agree it sounds very interesting.

Oh I used a PS3 for watching DVD's so have to watch Region 2, I don't think a PS3 is region free?

Man In Black · Anime Mod

Well, I used to read DC and Marvel comic when I was a nipper but I was never a devoted fan that eagerly awaited the latest issue.

Nowadays, I'm into Manga but since I don't have much in the way of disposable income, my purchases are few and far between. Usually I get stuff either in "2 for 3" deals at Waterstones or from Amazon who often knock about £2.50 of the RRP so occasionally buying in bulk (to make the £15 free delivery

) pays off!

With Anime, there is a ton ofstuff that either doesn't get released over here or we have to wait for it to follow the US release. Again, price is an issue because the market is small over here so the prices are often high in orderfor the distributors to make a return.

So, a vast range of Manga andAnime DVDs at competitive prices would have to be the ticket to entice someone like me to patronise your site.
