That kind of game plan was quite clever on T-pop's front, but now that I know, I'll vote for non-Tpop books, too :) And this Judy character probably works for Tpop. Tpop using this as a thank-you? Puh-leaze. They're trying to gather more money for promotion of Princess Ai, but the fans still get pushed in the mud while their fave series are canceled. I also reserve the right to write Tpop however I want to! So there! That was very perceptive of you to notice.

I am completely outraged. What were they THINKING? Rogue's hair is WAY cooler than Storm's! Yeesh! This is absolutely pathetic. I am completely outraged. What were they THINKING?

Rogue’s hair is WAY cooler than Storm’s! Yeesh!

I'm a big fan of the manga/anime industry and with the hard times the industry is facing, I'll support any cause to help the industry stay alive. Especially titles that are worth voting for- Fruits Basket and Kingdom Hearts. Huge manga titles that deserve recognition since they fuel the industry. Do you not have bigger industry news to cover? Do you lack critical content? Or are you just writing this to get yourself published and promoted on Google alerts to help increase and drive traffic to your site as well? I would not really consider this as a bribe from TOKYOPOP but as a "Thank You" to their fans Why must you hate on TOKYOPOP?
