Everything else is either Funi or former Gen though. |
Former Geneon would be Hellsing TV & Gatekeepers/21, but also:
Bandai: Meltylancer, Yukikaze
ADV: Gravion/Zwei

Not really! This is actually a good move in my eyes.
License rescues are far more cheaper than new ones, all of the materials are available (dubs, subs, production art, extras, ect....) and several people already own the product, which helps spread the word around.
Ikki Tousen and Gad Gaurd may not be Triple A titles, but they do have solid fanbases. I personally own and enjoyed both of them. They have their flaws, but they were still enjoyable to watch.

Vandread is apparently the third titled announced, and this time it appears that its a distribution deal as Geneon is still listed on the page.

Once I find a job I will probably pick this up

It says "Licensed by Funimation productions" on the bottom which none of the distribution deal titles say.

Might be because they are using the Pioneer/Geneon dub for the release. It should be answered when the PR hits the wire.

Than Gad Guard should have Geneon listed as well.
I think I found the answer though, one of the prodcution companies for Second Stage was Dentsu which is Geneon's parent company.

But interestingly, unlike the others, this one mentions:

3 license rescues of older Geneon titles. This is becoming increasingly not worth my time to tune in for.
I hope that the new titles are worth all the PR they are doing.

Well I'll just be happy when Eva 1.0 is announced. I'm not incredibly excited about any of the rescues but some of them look ok.
I would really love Toradora or even something a little older like Ashitezure Baby got licensed.

The website is up and running now. It will be available on may 26, 2009 with a way better price than the 7 dvd set which was around 150 to 250 dollars.
