Koby Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Thanks, good to know it's real now!ANN isn't any more reliable than any other source. lol. ANN never has the news first, they just source their news from other places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koby Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Yes, but if ANN announces it, then it backs up the original source, and that is all that matters to me.It doesn't back anything up, lol. I've seen countless times where ANN has simply stolen news only to be discovered the news they stole was a troll and they either end up removing it or placing an edit saying something along the lines of 'update nvm'. ANN doesn't add any reliability to anything and only going by what they say is kind of idiotic. I've even contacted them a couple times to correct them or give them news tips. After all they are nothing more than an Anime site made by fans, only on a bigger scale, and I believe they are now owned by some company so they pay some of the workers, but otherwise they still aren't a creditable source and almost every single one of their news posts has external source links as to where the news actually came from. Aside from the rare occasions where they occasionally get contacted directly for news, usually only by American Anime companies.Anyways I had this news before ANN because I saw one of the promotional videos. We'll get more details in the Shonen Jump about the new series.I've contacted Viz about Hunter x Hunter and they said they will not license the OVA's nor this new series unless something changes and the current DVD sets start being bought because so far sales have been terrible.
