Hey, Geneon…how you doing? Haven’t heard from you in a while. You know, ever since you shut down Stateside distribution of all your product. Sorry that didn’t work out. I’ve been wondering if someone else would pick up that ball and run with it, and it looks like someone finally did…I hear Funimation’s pretty cool. Anyway, L8r - I gotta skate. Oh - you’ve got a press release for me to post? Well, I’ll post the juicy bits - nobody reads all that extraneous crap anyway.

Under the terms of the agreement, FUNimation Entertainment obtains the exclusive rights in North America to the manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution of established Geneon titles, including Ergo Proxy, Hellsing Ultimate and Black Lagoon.

“Geneon is a strong producer, known for excellent production and quality of its anime series,” said Gen Fukunaga, president and CEO of FUNimation Entertainment. “We are pleased to partner with them and we are committed to the successful release of these series.”

“FUNimation’s momentum as the leading anime distributor continues to build,” said Yushin Soga, president and CEO of Geneon. “We are sure this partnership will only grow the prominence of our portfolio.”
