Why, why, why?! My day was ruined when I heard of ADV shutting down, seriously. But I hope that in this major disappointment, you guys will continue to convey your love for the art of writing, design and anime itself. Shame on ADV's management and everything that caused this to happen.
I am sorry to hear about this bad turn of events. I shall miss you. I was a fan of both PiQ and newtype from each one of the magazines beginnings. good luck your next endeavors.
i just read about this being your last issue, that sucks! I was bummed when I heard about newtype usa, now this one too.... I was just getting used to it too.
I am the man, look at me in the number one slot lol. I have to rush out and get the new mag. I was looking for it the other day and it wasn't there and then I came on yahoo yesterday and you have the new cover up. Looks good, can't wait to dive in ^_^
You are all a really talented group. You worked hard and really became a success despite all of the odds stacked against you. I am very proud of you guys. Good luck in your new endeavors.
Also, its sad that a company like ADV wasted the talent and hard work it had at its company and its sad that ADV itself is closing. I think it was a company started by fans that didn't have the business sense they needed.
I'm sorry you guys are going out of business. I have to admit I'm still concerned about my previous subscription. Maybe you guys can ask the Anime Inside, or Otaku USA or even Protoculture Addicts to pick up our subscriptions. Oh well it's just an idea. Hopefully you guys will learn from this experience.
I am very disapointed in Piq. After Newtype USA, Piq was born. Reading the last issue of Piq was painful. Not only am I doing a ban of your magazine. My anime club is too.
Thanks for the add, just got done reading your last issue. I'm glad someone is covering the Sam & Max games for the PC. Those are some of the best games I've played in years.
