As I already said, the sale is also on pre-orders. Geneon is releasing
new titles.
I'll say that again:

The only economic trouble they're in right now is because people like
you have been claiming they're dead.

Are there any newer GENEON licenses, that is, series that weren't done
with their initial releases before GENEON's failed distribution deal,
that are *not* now being distributed by Funi (ie, are still in limbo)?
Oh, that reminds me (although I don't know why, exactly). Someone is
releasing the "Wallflower" anime. Need to check on how many vols of that
are out now. May order some of them with Ouran. Hooray for shoujo (and
Sunako!)!

You're sure this is not a Funimation release?? Absolutely sure...
(Or a Japanese release of a Blu-Ray or something like that through
Dentsu?)
Because if you are right, that would probably be the first new product
Geneon has released in -- what -- a year? 18 months??
And, not only that, but they clearly shut down their US division.
That IS dead. And you can't deny that, Rob.

Do you even read the news anymore? Probably not -- and I speak, now,
more than just the anime news...

That's a very damned good question. I thought you killfiled me again

ADV was releasing "The Wallflower", but then had to cancel the release
(after vol. 3 IIRC), because their license was taken over by FUNimation.
AFAIK Funi hasn't yet announced a new release schedule.

D'oh. Okay, better wait until Funi makes some pre-order noise, as they
seem to be heading the boxset-only route. Three singles will do me no
good, that being the case.

Follow the damn link, moron. It says "Publisher - GENEON". Funi is
just the distributor. Learn the difference between what a "publisher"
is and what a "distributor" is.

But Funi being post-AX Funi, if/when production resumes, they'll
probably wait for the Complete boxset--
Which they can do with a short series, and it's already half completed.

I actually thought this list would have been longer!

Buso Renkin was a GENEON production that went to VIZ, although given
the manga tie-in, I suppose that's not surprising.

Well, yeah - I specifically mentioned that one in my original post.
(I figured that would be enough to show that Geneon was releasing new
titles. Silly me.)

Funimation is distributing Geneon's old product to make money for
Dentsu.
Geneon USA died. Dead. Gone. You don't like it -- stop your
motherfucking downloading.

To do that, you'd have to have something which is worth selling -- of
course, word I've seen is that Funi is having the cast work on
Wallflower, so we'll see.

Thank Belldandy I did when the last Bountiful Bargains sale happened.
Getting all of Texhnolyze (including Vol. 1 bundled with the first OST
CD, and the second OST CD) for about $6 each rocked the socks off of
what they're asking for it now. Of course, they have more that I
want, but I have no spare cash now (I had to save up my change to get
TV On The Radio's _Dear Science_ CD), and it's slow going clearing off
my DVD plate as it is.

Who wonders if he'll still like anime by the time he gets around to
the massive pile of digisubs he's accumulated as well.
