Viz Media/Awesome


 * Securing the distribution rights to the anime adaptation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure from Warner Bros. Not only did this mean that fans would get a more substantial physical release (after Warner Bros. put out a barebones DVD), but it also potentially led to the anime netting a spot on Toonami on Adult Swim, as Warner Bros. had no interest of airing the show on television.
 * Similarly, the announcement that they would be licensing the manga from the beginning in America. Not only would this be the first time that Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency, but they would also be bringing over the Jojonium versions. Made even better that recently they announced the license for Diamond is Unbreakable and onward.
 * Getting the rights to the Sailor Moon franchise including Sailor Moon Crystal was no small feat, especially considering many other companies were interested in buying it. Few suspected Viz would be the one to secure it and give it a faithful re-dub.
 * Announcing the license for the 2011 anime adaptation of Hunter X Hunter which at the time was only available for streaming on Crunchyroll and Netflix with no licensor. Made even better when Viz announced that the show would air on Toonami.
 * Their New York Comic Con 2015 panel had them announce the manga licenses for Kuroko's Basketball, Haikyuu!! and Yona of the Dawn, three series which have been popular for years but were not released in America.
