I never heard of the show Comic Book Men but the episode sounds fun enough.

Also, it's a shame what happened to that book. Who does something like that? :-/

There's a 90% chance that mix is horrible, but there is also the chance that it could be good. A really small chance. But if I had bought that textbook used, I probably would leave the book be as a really weird monument to the times. :-I

Yeah, it could be all right but vandelising a book like that isn't a good way to get it out there.

It's funny, because there are so many ways they could get their mixtape out there. Bandcamp, Soundcloud, heck, throw it on a Tumblr or something. It's 2014, the Internet is mainstream. You can use it to your advantage, unknown creator! But they'd rather draw some kickin rad flames and try it old school. Although an actual cassette tape would never fit in a book like that unless you hollowed out the pages. :-I Go your own way, unknown mixtape maker! Just don't be surprised when your career doesn't blow up overnight (in the successful way, not the "oh god my life is a horrible failure and a complete LIE" :gonkity: way).

Higher education books like those usually come with a cd-rom that contains additional material. Sorry for ruining the joke. :-I

Now I'm reminded of this one time my friend found this one dude's nixtape just lying on a table at this ani km e convention we were at.

We listened to it on the way back home. It was... kmda weird. He used samples from RE4 and crap like that. But the best track was him takin v the scene from the movie I am Legend where Will Smith is talking to the statues, only he does the voices to make it a conversation.

So yeah the moral of this story is randomly abandoned mix tapes can sometime hold great wonders.

How many people even have working tape players these days? If you want the same effect, nowadays you have to put some MP3s on a random USB flash drive and leave it lying somewhere.

From the images I've seen online it seems to be mostly comedy based. Short silly stories like the library coming to life & falling in love with another tree, AJ trying to win a new hat and what not... Still, it would be fun to see it stateside. After all there's only 2 series so far, 2 tokabons wouldn't be that hard to localize.

It's not that simple, they must have to go through Hasbro as well stateside if it were to be published here. It also would be difficult to market, as the comics can easily be sold to children, manga not so much here.

I'd imagine they would try to aim the manga at older audiences. Not adults or anything but probably for like 9 year olds or something.

I'm well aware of how licensing works, and that children's manga aren't as easy sellers as children's comics. Still it's possible viz could pick the title up, will it happen, probably not, but who knows, if enough people reccomend it, they might consider it. :pinkieshrug:
