I know for a fact that this is not Viz's fault, but C.C.'s. Suncoast gets
everything on time and AFAIK they go straight through Viz. My local comic,
game, hobby, and anime shop however (which I ALWAYS buy from no matter HOW
much I'd save at the 'Coast) gets them a month late, as Joe does. So, by
process of elimination, it must be C.C.

>Has anyone actually seen the tapes on the release dates?  Right now, I add a
>month to the date they give me.  

As do I. Now if only my math was better.....

><I want my Ranma tapes!!!>

"Oh, 'Ukyo Can Cook!' Where ARE you?"

>Gee, if Viz set up one of those 'clubs' so I could get the tapes as soon as
>they were released, I'd probably go thru them!

Proposed 'Columbia House' type comercial:

So you think YOU'VE had a bad day?
Meet Ranma Saotome, teenage martial artist. He has the same problems as you:

Girls (montage of getting hit by Akane, Shampoo, Ukyo, etc.)

School (shot of Hinako saying "delinquent" and hurling ki at him)

and parents (shot of Genma saying "foolish boy" and them fighting)

But he has some problems you might not. (shot of Ranma changing from boy to
girl.)

After all, HE changes into a girl. And you know what they say. ( montage of
fighting)

Girls just want to have fun!

And so will you with the Viz Video Ranma series. You're first introductory
video, TV series vol. 1, will be sent to you for just $9.99. Other videos
will follow, for the regular price of just $24.95 each. Ranma 1/2 from Viz
Video. Yin and Yang was never so much fun (TM).

(Blue screen for obligitory "send credit card, blah, blah blah, noe
C.O.D.'s, blah, blah.)

Guess I won't get a job in advertising anytime soon.....
