Haha I'm not sure which is weirder, the fact that Geneon announced this before the actual company did, or that Geneon still has an AX panel. When I read the title of the article I thought this meant that Geneon was getting back in the game, but actually reading the article left my hopes crushed. I guess the only real question is who the other company is. I'm to guess Section 28 Films or Sentai, no real reason other than I think this seems like a good chance for them. As for my opinion of the show it's self... I'm undecided about it. I'm not sure how this will turn out. I guess I'll give it a shot since Tetsuro Araki is directing it and Yousuke Kuroda wrote the screenplay.
P.S. Anime Network is not a licensing company, so it's obviously not going to be them. This banner is up most likely to promo the fact that their partners will be getting the series. And their partners are non other than Sentai. |

Sentai just sent out press releases about it, and they will be dubbing the show.

Well, I said Funimation because I wanted a guaranteed dub, but I'll take a Sentai dub, too. It's 85% the same people anyways.
So uh...HELL YES FOR HSOTD. Here's hoping the manga gets picked up too. |

I just read over on the Mania forums that the show is licensed by Sentai Filmworks and will be released with a dub. Here:

Good work, Sentai. This could well be another purchase for me, and just after you licensed Xam'd too!

It's nice to see that Sentai is dubbing a lot more of their licenses. ^^ Hopefully this, along with Xam'd and the other titles they're dubbing, will turn out to be big hits for them (I personally am not interested in HSOTD at the moment, but once it becomes available on Anime Network on Demand, I'll give it a shot).

True, but they still have to license the TV and digital rights for any shows they air or stream. They also acquire those rights for shows that Sentai has licensed, like their shows from Enoki and Right Stuf/Nozomi. I'm all pumped for K-On!, but this news beats it hand down. It's good to see Sentai getting back to some of ADV's better habits. Confirming a dub right away is an awesome move. The simulcast and probable HD stream are just icing on the cake, very delicious icing. |

Yo dawg, I heard you like announcements, so I made an announcement about your announcement so bloggers can blog while they're blogging.
Sorry, couldn't help it. I am excited to hear this, however. High School of the Dead is good stuff. At least, the one chapter I read led me to believe so. |

Good to know this will get both a simulcast and an english dub. Hopefully well get a Blu-ray release too but I'm just glad its licensed and simulcasted.

I'm hoping for a bluray too. They're doing them for Ghost Hound and Xam'd, so I hope they can pull it off here too. Though I guess that's ultimately dependent on whether Geneon will let them do it or not. |

IT'S NOT GENEON USA
IT'S GENEON UNIVERSAL company#8953 NO, THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING. Holy god, I hate saying people are stupid, but really, you are! That Geneon, the one that licensed and released stuff here, is very much gone. That aside, good for HSotD. Too bad it's only going to be 12 or 13 episodes, which means it'll have no conclusion, or it will make one up for the anime. |

I know that already. I call them Geneon/Denstu Universal or NBCUniversal Japan. What I was saying is that they could be planning to annouce a new label. |
