EDIT: I should have clarified– this is Geneon Entertainment (JP), not Geneon USA. However, I still take it to mean that Geneon (JP) would at least *like* to continue doing direct business in the US.
Remember a while ago when I reported on rumors that Geneon was in talks with a new DVD distributor? And how the source– Robert of Robert’s Corner Anime Store –said if we don’t hear anything by this summer we probably won’t hear anything period?
Well…okay, we don’t have any solid news on any such deal, but we DO have signs of life in the form of an Anime Expo announcement: Geneon is actually bringing a guest. That guest is Yoko Ishida, well-known for anime themes such as Sailor Moon’s “Otome Policy,” Shakugan no Shana’s “Aka no Seijaku,” and a personal favorite of mine, A Little Snow Fairy Sugar’s “Sugar Baby Love.”
HOPEFULLY– and that means we don’t know yet! –but hopefully that means Geneon will have some good news for us at Anime Expo.
