They won't sell DVD's, I'm guessing.

[Willkillforfood]

Wow, what a perplexing development.

[WetWired]

This means I may not be able to complete my Higurashi no naku koro ni DVD collection :(

[Sovereign]

Hellsing Ultimate is what I'm worried about :(

Rightstuf has the dvd release dates set as 12-12-2012, which means an indefinite delay but its nto cancelled.

[Willkillforfood]

Thank God for subbers, huh? =P

[Sovereign]

Srsly.

I'd just have to burn fansubs to disk and make dvd covers for the 3 series that geneon is fucking me over with.

(Karin, Black Lagoon, Hellsing Ultimate)

[Willkillforfood]

Well, they have no reason to get pissed at people downloading subs now.

[Rurouni Storm]

The licenses are probably already owned by ADV since Geneon folded while negotiating with them.

[!King_Amazon!]

Post more.

Good news, cont.

My upcoming subtitling projects are going well so far. Can't share a whole lot of details, but I've been explicitly authorized to say that (a) they are the first two seasons of Nanoha, and the first season of Zero no Tsukaima, and (b) yes, despite the recent news about Geneon, they're really being worked on and really haven't been canceled. You may commence rejoicin

Don't know how credible it is but meh, it's all I got.

I'm just lucky I managed to find the last four volumes of Gun Sword before the shit really hits the fan and nobody can find Geneon DVDs anywhere but EBay. I've got no worries now.

[WetWired]

Heh. When I heard, I immediately ordered all Geneon stuff I was waiting on on Amazon for maximum chance of getting it, hence the e-mail.

[Raziel]

I did the same. I got a "discontinued item" message in regard to disc 7 twice. Both Amazon and DeepDiscount fucked me.
