How often are your websites updated?	We're trying our best to update it as often as possible. Check what's new for the updated information.
(Q) Can I link your website to mine?	Yes! Just let us know before you'll be doing that.
(Q) Can you link my website to yours?	No, we don't have a link site, and we will not have one anytime soon.
(Q) Can I use the images on your website on mine?	Sorry, but no.
(Q) How can I reach your creators?	You can write to prodig@ibm.net and we will forward them the letters. Depending on how long your letter is, we may have to ask you to have it translated into Japanese.
(Q) I want to apply to your studios. What do I do?	Again, you can write to prodig@ibm.net and we will ask you to send us your resume (in Japanese) and portfolio.
(Q) I want to pitch my ideas to your studios. What do I do?	Well, this is a very difficult question, because we have so many ideas already within our studios that are put on hold to be produced. Unless your idea has a financial back-up or sponsors, it may not be worth your time and money to have it translated into Japanese for our creators to evaluate.
(Q) I have a great story (or characters) that you might want to use for your next project. What do I do?	Again, the same answer for this question. You can certainly send it to us for our evaluations, but unless it's being financially supported, it may be difficult for us to produce.
(Q) How can I purchase the products from your studios?	We are currently not selling anything on our website; however, we will announce it as soon as we have the internet shopping site up!
(Q) We'd like to invite some of your creators to our conventions. Who do I contact?	You can contact Maki Terashima at prodig@ibm.net regarding conventions and festivals. Please specify whom you want to invite, instead of saying 'whoever that can come.' For most of the past conventions, we attended, please view this site.
(Q) When is "(title)" coming out in my country?	We've been getting lots and lots of questions regarding "JIN-ROH" and "Blood: The Last Vampire." As many of you may know already, "JIN-ROH" has already been released in France last year, and it is currently (today is 8/21/00) playing in Japan. We are not sure when the U.S. release is yet, but hopefully soon, and we will have it announced on our website as soon as we find out! As for "Blood: The Last Vampire," the release date in Japan is November this year. And again, we will announce it as soon as we find out the U.S. release. Thanks for your patience!
(Q) We want to distribute your titles in our country. Who do I contact?	Please write to Maki Terashima at prodig@ibm.net
(Q) I own a small retail shop, and want to sell your products. Who do I contact?	You would need to contact the distribution companies regarding this matter.
(Q) I live in the states, and would like to work for your office in California. What kind of positions are available at IG USA.	What we do at IG USA is mainly licensing our titles to the distributors overseas (excluding Japan) and translations. So, we would need someone with strong communications skills in both English and Japanese. If we may add to that, we would need someone with some sort of a licensing background in the animation industry. What we are not in need of are the artistic skills and talents, as we do not have a studio here. But let me tell you, it is a lot of strenuous work and you would need to be willing to contribute a lot of your time into work. It is a fun job, but more stress and labor than anything.
