If I have to pick and choose

With regards to Kumiko’s last update and her request to know what we’d rather see from PeaPri sooner rather than later, here’s my wish list:

  1. Brave Soul - ASAP please !
  2. Little My Maid - promised it to the boyfriend !

In terms of things I’d like to see them try to acquire:

( I can dream, can’t I!? )

  1. Utawareru mono (“A thing to be admired” - well, I think that’s what it translates to anyway. I guess if you broke it up into Uta wareru mono, it could be translated “A song to tear”, but I thought the first one sounded better. Kumiko would know better than me. )
  2. Arcana
  3. White Album - I’m hoping the fact that PeaPri carries the trading cards means they’re considering porting the game to English.
  4. I wish

(^_^)

Gomen!

A company such as Leaf would never dream of licensing one of their titles until they see a far far higher demand.

I weep to hear this. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/frown.gif[/img] Leaf is producing some fantastic titles. It's sad to think we have no chance of ever playing them...

quote:

In order to be profitable, we are beginning to set up accounts to carry domestic anime and manga... so we need input on which titles people would like to order from us. If you let us know which domestic bishoujo or shoujo anime and manga titles you'd like to order, we can try to stock them for you.

Well, here's a list of things that I intend to purchase over the next few months. They're not ecchi titles, but if you are really going to stock shoujo as well as bishoujo, then it may be useful to you:

Anime DVD:
Soul Taker (ADV)
Vampire Princess Miyu TV (TOKYOPOP)
Adventures of the Mini-Goddesses (Pioneer)
Love Hina (Bandai?)

Manga:
Vampire Princess Miyu (Ironcat)
Kodomo no Omacha (TOKYOPOP)
Chobits (TOKYOPOP)
Seraphic Feather (Dark Horse)
Cowboy Bebop (??)

About the Anime, I'll say this: I would love to help support PeaPri, but one of the reasons I buy online is the reduced price of dvds. I know you guys are aiming for profitability, but for the love of your customers, try to keep the prices competitive. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

Love Hina is already planning to Anime Village (also Bandai)

Cowboy Bebop is currently published by TokyoPop (But it looked like too different from other Tokyopop)

Alas, had Seraphic Feather vol.1 before you offered it. But I've convinced the boyfriend (he's the one who's collecting it) to get future volumes through you guys to help out.

quote:

If we begin to list Miyu or other titles, are people going to order it? We need the currently offered products to sell, but we can also add more to them... but only if they are going to sell.

I ordered a currently stocked manga with my last Bishoujo pre-order. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/wink.gif[/img]

In terms of future offerings, if you were to decide to carry Omacha or VPM, I'd ask that you say so now, because my problem is that while you have stuff I'm generally interested in, I already own most of it (SF#1, VPM #1~3, etc).

For example, I was banging my head six months ago trying to find that Vampire Princess Miyu artbook. I kind of wish I hadn't found it so I could purchase it from you guys now. The sad part is, though I'd like to show support, buying a 2nd copy is out of the question. [img]http://princess.cybrmall.net/ubb/tongue.gif[/img]

The way to avoid the probem in the future is by announcing titles in advance. If you say, "we're going to carry XYZ", (XYZ = something I'm interested in) then I will make a point of buying XYZ from you. However, if you don't say anything, then more than likely I'll already own it by the time you do offer it.

quote:

We could add something like Miyu or Chobits, but only if it is going to sell.

Chobits will sell. It's CLAMP, it's gorgeously drawn, and it's both sweet and naughty. It's everything a Bishoujo fan could want. If you carry no other shoujo title, carry this one.

There are two manga of "Cowboy Beebop", one is shoujo while the other is shounen, IIRC.

But it will certainly attract some attention. Isn’t that what you want? :slight_smile:
