The biggest new (for me at least) at Viz's panel at the New York Anime Festival was that the Eyeshield 21 anime would finally be coming to Toonami Jetstream starting December 17. Viz
announced back in June that the series would begin airing online this Fall, but it looks like things got delayed a bit. Back then they also announced that the series would be airing simultaneously on NFLRush.com, but that wasn't mentioned at all. In fact the NFL in general wasn't mentioned in the press release for its debut. Makes you wonder if Viz still has a deal with them.
In other big news, Viz announced that they had licensed the
Buso Renkin anime, based off the Shonen Jump manga by Nobuhiro Watsuki of Rurouni Kenshin fame. The series is described as Kenshin meets FullMetal Alchemist meets Bleach, though unfortunately it's not quite as good as any of them. Viz is doing something interesting with this series, however. Rather than release individual volumes, they'll be doing 2 boxsets of 13 episodes. The first set will be available on April 29 for $49.99, & the second & final set will come out a few months later. Viz releases their Prince of Tennis episodes & their uncut Naruto sets in the same fashion, but in the case of those at least the episodes are available to watch elsewhere. Why they chose this approach with Buso Renkin is hard to say (maybe it'll air on Toonami as well?).
