Oh shit! Oh FU**ING SHIT!!!

Geneon Entertainment Exits (10:46 AM EDT): Though the finality of things is still up in the air, Geneon Entertainment has sent out information to retailers regarding their 4th quarter plans. According to the information, Geneon will be shipping all releases they have in the queue for street dates through 11/05/2007. All orders placed after this coming Friday is non-returnable. As of 12/31/2007, they will be shutting down, apparently completely as AnimeNation is listing everything past 11/11/2007 as canceled. Plans for beyond 12/31/2007 are still up in the air but what little is being said indicates that they're intending to focus on their own properties in a similar way to Kadokawa Pictures USA is doing things.

Damn, I need to get a hold of the few of the Geneon titles pronto before they're.....gone?!

I'm not sure I am following... Does it mean that anything ordered after tomorrow won't be shipped? How about what's yet to be released?

It's saying that if you order something around tomorrow or so, you can't return it back to them. As for the upcoming releases, they're in limbo. Here are the titles affected:

- Rozen Maiden
- Black Lagoon
- When They Cry
- Karin
- Hellsing Ultimate
- Nanoha
- Guardian of the Sacred Spirit
- Familiar of Zero
- Saiunkoku Monogatari
- Shana OVA
- Kyou Kara Maoh! Season 2
- The Law of Ueki
- Deltora Quest

Those are a combination of the ones recently licensed back in the summer and the ones that are in the middle in releasing. Ugh, this is depressing.

It wouldn't be on the list because it's not affected . . .

Geneon will be shipping all releases they have in the queue for street dates through 11/05/2007.

This is what I don't get, and I've tried to read on this elsewhere. What is and isn't affected? I really feel like an idiot here...
