    “After almost three years, ADV Manga finally updated their website.”

    To me, they can’t escape their past. I’m glad to see they seem to focus on non-manga products but i prefer they either roll out a small number of manga series or non at all.

    My comment about the website itself is this: are you sure you can maintain a professional company website? Because if you can’t the public will think you’re a fly-by-night-third-rate piece-of-crap company. Oh. Too Late.
