VIZ Media has announced the debut of a new web site that will stream episodes of the company’s most-popular anime properties as well as new content.
The site, called VIZ Anime, has launched at www.vizanime.com with more than 400 episodes from such series as Bleach, Buso Renkin, Death Note, Hikaruo No Go, Honey & Clover, Inuyasha, Inuyasha: The Final Act, Nana, Naruto, Naruto: Shippuden and The Prince of Tennis.
New episodes will be added each week, with the site also using social networking tools and features to foster an official online home and community for VIZ Media anime fans. The features allow fans to keep track of the last episode they watched in a series and receive notifications of new episodes.
‘We’re committed to developing VIZ Anime as a premiere online destination, and hope to offer a real community for VIZ Media fans to interact with each other and share their love of anime,’ says Ken Sasaki, senior VP and general manager of VIZ Media. ‘We will also utilize the site as a means of two-way communication to better understand what our fans enjoy most and want, and how they engage with anime and manga online.’
