Hi Everyone!

I'm Mitsuko, the Co-Producer for Naruto Shippuden.  Here's a quick rundown of Naruto Shippuden Box Set 5, which hits stores today.  It includes episodes 274~285. It starts with Naruto and Sakura back in the Leaf after their confrontation with Sasuke in Orochimaru's hideout. We also begin a new story arc with Sora, a young monk in training at the Fire Temple who has a something a little too in common with Naruto, making this box set a great starting point for people who are intimidated by over 400 episodes of Naruto, without starting at episode 1.

One of my favorite episodes in this set is episode 285, Lockdown of Darkness.  We see the Leaf Village thrown into chaos, and the Leaf ninja quickly regrouping and strategizing to defend themselves against the mysterious Shinobi and their terrifying attacks.  Above all you MUST check out the great scene with Shikamaru and Choji in the BBQ Restaurant. Trust me, its awesome.

Hope you guys also check out the Production Art and Omake in the extra features.  I had tons of fun working on them.

Enjoy!

The last few weeks have been huge for Viz Anime & Kekkaishi! Excitement continues building in the subtitled version of the series here on Viz Anime, and last weekend Adult Swim broadcast the premiere episode of the English dub!

Kekkaishi spotlights compelling cool characters, in an intense yet fun-filled supernatural action adventure saga. It possesses all of the hallmarks of great anime. We are very excited to add Kekkaishi to the Adult Swim anime lineup for U.S. fans to enjoy!

Each week new dubbed episodes will be available for purchase from iTunes, Zune / Xbox, PlayStation Network a day or so after they air on Adult Swim, with Amazon Video-on-Demand sales coming soon. Each episode will also be available for a limited time on AdultSwim.com.

We launched another update of the vizanime.com site over this past weekend, with improvements in user comment displays, and a new poll function. Stay tuned because we're going to have fun with this new poll system over the next few months. And if you haven't caught up with the One Piece anime, our most recent addition to the site, now's the perfect time as episodes 1-114 are now up, and we continue with the current Impel Down storyline with episode 448 this week. This month also brings some exciting series into the fold, so stay tuned for those as well...
