Heyya!

Do you check up facts before adding series to the licensed database?

As far as I know, there is a slight difference between manga and anime, and Viz bought the Bleach manga, NOT the anime.

Maybe I'm wrong considering your rules about these matters, which are quite equivocal but...

Yes, they do check, and yes viz does have the anime. Denying the truth doesn't make it any less true.

You're right. But I fail to see how things like home video and television rights could ever refer to the manga.
Please explain how that would work. As others have mentioned it already, Viz recently licensed the anime.

There is a whole discussion on it there.

To be fair he did say he might be mistaken though.

I understand everything now. Just kidding. Please understand that everyone can't find all the information that you may know. Whether it was licenced or not VIZ has the right to reproduce the manga and anime now. (even though it is)
