Who currently owns the rights to Urusei Yatsura?
« on: October 31, 2009, 12:43:20 PM »
Who owns the rights? I know that Viz own the rights to the manga in the United States (and they stopped releasing the manga >:(). Does the manga-ka own the rights to anime and manga in Japan or do companies?

I have no understanding of the legal situation on ownership of manga and anime.

There was a topic like this before actually. xD
As to who owns the rights, I honestly don't think does.
Rumiko owns the rights to the manga of course, as well as the Urusei Yatsura name, idea and characters, since she is the creator anyway.
Signatured postponed until I cba to make a new one. x.x
