Gotta say, I was greatly dissapointed by the fact that none of these titles are available in the Caribbean, and likely the rest of Latin and South America. Sad Seriously, the main anticipation I've been having ever since I first heard this was the hope of being able to read Viz's selection of digital manga since I already can't do anything with the Viz App since I live outside the States. If Viz owns the rights or the licensors back in Japan, they'd be doing one heck of a huge favor for Latin fans whose options are pretty limited (even though we likely have it better then most in other parts of the world) and would also love to save some shelf space. But in the end, patience is virtue. Hopefully Viz or whoever owns the rights will do something about it soon.

I guess they aren't that angry at Amazon.

Their manga division might not be. But their home video division definitely is.

As their distributor, Warner Bros., is currently disputing with Amazon over prices. So things like the remastered Ranma 1/2 Blu-rays have now been removed from ordering through Amazon. If this goes on for awhile, this will probably affect them when Sailor Moon is re-released.

Ranma set 1 is available for order when I do a search on Amazon.

It's only things that haven't came out yet that are affected at the moment(so Set 1 is fine, but Set 2 isn't listed as available). Although when Set 1 runs out of stock and they have to order more, it probably will affect them due to this dispute.
