Apparently the Dark Horse's Facebook page officially announced it is offering manga readers to suggest stuff for translation that they want to sell to you. Crossbone Gundam fans, this maybe the chance you have been waiting for because I seriously doubt this will come again. Guyver fans are taking full advantage of this, maybe some of you Gundam and Macross fans want to do the same? Maybe?

I don't read manga personally and even if I did I'm not risking identity theft.

(I really hope I'm not breaking the rules by giving this to you guys)

How do you comment? This is a fantastic idea, and a great way for Gundam manga to find its way over here.

I'm curious, though: why does participating in this make you fear identity theft?

I've been trying to figure that out for hours now, I think you have to befriend Dark Horse's page or something, it's the only theory I've got.

I don't want people knowing my real name. You guys don't know me here, you're good, but a few people know my first name and my tastes are so much of a minority I can be easily spotted.

There's a comment button for it. You do need a Facebook account to post a comment there or you could contact Dark Horse via email by going to their website. I plan to suggest them Franken Fran and Guyver. Alot of people have been suggesting Guyver to them, which makes me happy.

I wouldn't get your hopes up for Gundam mangas. I doubt Dark Horse would be able to wrangle that one away from Bandai.

Um... Bandai doesn't have a chokehold on Gundam manga, last I checked...

He's right, VIZ has the rights to Gundam the Origin, they just don't do anything with it.

Oh, I couldn't think of anything Gundam related that wasn't released by one of Bandai's arms... Well I stand corrected.

Well, there's pretty much ALL of the Gundam manga released in English, which was through either Viz or Tokyopop. Bandai only got into the Gundam manga scene with 00 and 00F.

Right, right... well I was way off on that one... *shrug* maybe now that Bandai is in to the manga scene they want to keep exclusive rights to Gundam mangas?

Well, for the purpose of this topic I guess it isn't futile to vote for Gundam mangas after all.

It is only futile if you can't comment.

Dammit, The Origin was the one I really want released. Does Viz really still have the license for that?

Yeah, they do. I don't like it anymore than you, I really want it too. (SIGH) I guess I will read it in Heaven.

I'm fairly certain the license on Gundam the Origin has expired by this point. It hasn't been released in years anyways.

Say guys? You may want to show your suggestions at the Facebook page since only one person so far has suggested Crossbone Gundam.

Well someone will have to do Gundam the Origin for me because I am not getting on Facebook, to heck with that.

Hmm, I have a facebook account, but I cant seem to post any comments still. Could be that I barely use it (or almost never), but I'd still like to vote for The Origin.

Facebook fail. :(

Did you click the "Like" button on Dark Horse's page? That's the only way it'll allow you to comment.

You could always get one under some crap name, vote, and then just never use it again.

I can't even find a "Like" option, and I use Facebook pretty frequently.
