Viz has become bigger and better than ever. In a recent press release, Viz, LLC and Sho Pro Entertainment have annouced a merger to form VIZ Media, LLC.

You might remember that VIZ and Sho Pro have collaborated on projects together before, including the popular Inuyasha series. The two decided it was time to take their anime and manga partnership to the next level and VIZ Media was the result!

“We are excited to continue expanding our business by developing entertainment content across all available mediums for people of all ages on a worldwide basis,” said Hidemi Fukuhara, President and CEO of VIZ Media. “Having the support and leveraging the combined assets of three of Japan’s largest and most respected content creators provides VIZ Media with a significant competitive advantage and will create unlimited new opportunities for our company.”

We can't wait to see what they do next!
