At this weekend's Otakon, Viz Media announced that they will be bringing back what was once on the most popular series in anime. Martial arts sex comedy Ranma 1/2 is set to return, with the anime coming to Neon Alley, Blu-ray and DVD, along with new reprints of the manga. Ranma 1/2 programming is also being planned for the upcoming New York Comic Con.

Well timed considering that an HBO drama is development from Pacific Rim's Guillermo Del Toro, Viz has announced plans re-release of Naoki Urasawa's Monster in a new two volumes in 1 omnibus form called Monster: The Perfect Edition.

Finally, they announced that  Gurren Lagann is coming to their Neon Alley streaming service this fall.
