In the early 1990s the titles from the Rumic World series were licensed by Viz (Mermaid Scar OAV & One-Pound Gospel) and Central Park Media (Mermaid Forest OAV, Maris the Supergal, Laughing Target, and Firetripper). Now in the age of DVD, these older series have been overlooked and forgotten by many. Central Park Media has let their licenses expire, and Viz has no plans to put their two titles on DVD. We intend to change that. This site hopes to encourage Viz, the owner of most Rumiko Takahashi properties and/or Animeigo, a notoriously fan-friendly company who specialize in older anime to make these titles available. We are also including Media Blasters due to the fact that they have recently tackled older series such as Voltron. Each form includes a pre-written letter to each company. It is always better if you write your own, but if you would rather not, please feel free to use the letter already provided. Please be sure to submit to both companies. The more mail they both receive the better the chance someone will license these titles. Also, if you are going to an anime convention fan panel, please be sure to ask Viz if they have plans to release these series. Asking in person is a big help. This form sends an e-mail to Viz. (licensing_contact@viz.com) Name: Your email address: Comments: I am a fan of Rumiko Takahashi's and am writing to encourage Viz to release their back catalog of Takahashi material on DVD, specifically Mermaid Scar and One-Pound Gospel. I would also like to encourage Viz to license the 1980s Rumic World OAV series, which included Mermaid Forest, Maris the Supergal, Firetripper, and Laughing Target. These titles were once held by Central Park Media, but they have since allowed their license to lapse. With the success of Inuyasha and the impending release of "Rumiko Takahashi Anthology" and "Mermaid Forest" TV series by Geneon, I am hoping you will consider aquiring these titles and release them on DVD. Thank you very much. This form sends an e-mail to Animeigo.

Now that Central Park Media has let the license expire, I and many other fans like me would love to see these OAVs brought back to America on DVD, especially with the popularity of Inuyasha and the immpeding release of her "Rumiko Takahashi Anthology" and "Mermaid Forest" TV series by Geneon. I hope you will take this under consideration, and thank you for your time. This form sends an e-mail to Media Blasters. (info@media-blasters.com) Name: Your email address: Comments: I am writing to express my support for your company to acquire the license for Rumiko Takahashi's "Rumic World" OVA series which has long been unavailable in the US. The series includes "The Supergal", "Laughing Target", "Firetripper", and the one shot "Mermaid Forest". With the popularity of Rumiko Takahashi in the USA, I hope you will consider acquiring these classic properties. Thank you. Please help spread the word!
