Genion

[strike7785]

:cute:Ok most of us know that Genion an anime distribution center went out of business or stopped trading with the US. Anyway a lot of anime was stopped because of this. Like Black Lagoon and Karin. Volumes 1-3 of Black Lagoon came out and were stopped. There was still Vol. 4-6 left. The same goes for Karin. Well anyway I was looking around for new realeases at the sight http://animecornerstore.com/ and noticed that genion will be releaseing the rest of the series Black Lagoon the second barage and Karin. I dont know about yall but IM SO HAPPY!!!!!::D:. I was so torn apart:eyes: :crying:when I found out that Genion was no longer distributing these two series out:mad:. Anyway Black Lagoon is comming out in August and Karin is comming out in Sept. I just wanted you all to know this. Maybe something that you were watching from genion that cut off may be comming out.:dance::dancing::cheerleader:

I belive they went bank rupt , but most of the rights in US that they had was transfered to other companies :D so most of the series only got a time delay.

Yeah actually within the last two weeks, Funimation swooped in and picked up ALL of Geneon's licenses, as well as a lot more, giving them something of about 90 new licenses! :scaried:

Funimation may end up forming a monopoly of American Anime licensing... Their only major contender I think is Viz, (Bandai Visual is disbanding too from what I hear) who has a hold of the two most popular series, Bleach and Naruto.
