Shojo Beat and Guild News

This is a place for the mods to post news about happenings in the guild or about Shojo Beat that will hopefully be updated regularly. To all other members, the thread will be locked to keep it informative and uncluttered.

The .: Must Reads, Business and Un-Fun things :. forum seemed cluttered with old announcements that weren't doing anyone any good anymore, so from now on, check and see if there is an update to this thread when first coming to the guild. Thanks! :]

Dear Shojo Beat Guild,
This is your captain Rainbows+Unicorns and I would like to apologize for my my eight month absence from Gaiaonline and ultimately this guild. I am afraid that my internet was down for that time and now that I am back I am working hard to make this guild as great, no better than it was before but I will need all of your help.

"The North American manga publisher Viz Media has announced some new title acquisitions for 2009 at its Anime Expo focus panel on Friday at Los Angeles, California. They include the following:
¤Honey Hunt by Miki Aihara
¤Gestalt by Yun Kouga
¤Magic Touch by Izumi Tsubaki
¤Otomen by Aya Kanno
Viz also confirmed the following, previously revealed titles:
¤Fushigi Yûgi (VIZBIG version) by Yuu Watase
¤Heaven's Will by Satoru Takamiya
¤Hot Gimmick (VIZBIG version) by Miki Aihara
¤Oishinbo by Tetsu Kariya and Akira Hanasaki"

Source

¤Honey Hunt will run in SB magazine starting in the September 08 issue.
¤Gestalt is not 100% positively an SB manga, but it seems likely, so I made a thread for it.
¤Oishinbo is supposed to be a "best of" series about cooking, aka Viz is not publishing all 100+ volumes, but only about 8-ish. It is unknown what label this will run under.
¤Magic Touch, Heaven's Will, and Otomen are 100% going to be SB manga. I have already made topics for them in the manga forum.
¤VIZBIG editions are 3-in-1 volumes that retail for $17.99USD. They generally come with extra color artwork.
¤Fushigi Yûgi (VIZBIG edition) volume 1 will hit stores January 6, 2009 and will actually be a part of the SB line, unlike the original version of Fushigi Yûgi.
¤There is no other news on the Hot Gimmick one yet, chances are it won't hit stores until next April or later.

"The North American anime distributor Funimation has announced its full English dub cast for Ouran High School Host Club at the anime's panel in Anime Expo at Los Angeles, California on Friday.

Caitlin Glass as Haruhi Fujioka
Vic Mignogna as Tamaki Suou

J. Michael Tatum as Kyoya Ohtori
Luci Christian as Mitsukuni Haninozuka
Mike McFarland as Ryuuji "Ranka" Fujioka
Patrick Seitz as Umehito Nekozawa
Todd Haberkorn as Hikaru Hitachiin
Travis Willingham as Takashi Morinozuka
Aaron Dismuke as Yasuchika Haninozuka
Brittney Karbowski as Hinako Tsuwabuki

Cherami Leigh as Kirimi Nekozawa
Christopher R. Sabat as Ritsu Kasanoda
Eric Vale as Toru Suzushima

While Funimation did get ahold of the Ouran anime, SB has the manga, so I figured this counts as SB news.
