Oh, is that what you meant. Here I thought you knew what you were talking about. Maybe you can come up with a better reason after you've actually watched Black Lagoon. Richard's reasoning makes much more sense, though even if it was a different company (say, FUNi which has also expressed interest in Geneon's titles) simply helping to finish off incomplete titles I'd still consider that a rescue. Unfortunately there aren't many options remaining for Geneon's titles (aside from the already mentioned FUNi and MB). Bandai (either one) just don't seem to be the type to pick up others scraps. ADV has picked up a lot of expired series and second seasons in the past, but they're currently having their own troubles so I doubt there's anything they could do this year. That really only leaves Manga and they don't seem to like doing too much at once these days. Then again, they aren't exactly busy right now. Any other company is just too small to be useful here but we've been surprised before.
Er, it doesn't need to be rescued, it finished just in time like Fate/ stay night. Emerje |

Since he has a bit of an old-school fetish, maybe he can save Lupin next. I'd love collections like what they've been doing w/ Voltron and Tekkaman.

fate/stay night is hard to come by completely even though it was completely released so its in desperate need of a nice box set for those who couldn't get it on time or may learn of it in the future, ergo proxy is the same but is a little easier to find. I know that john said in a waffle discussion(I think), that geneon may be getting back in their feet somehow, as great a news as it is they rescued a title, I hope this wasn't the big geneon news he hinted, because its still far from what he made it out to be.

Awesome! Thank you MB! I hope they'll rescue more series in the future.

Yes, it finished, but it went out of print almost immediately after doing so, which doesn't exactly do much for poor saps like me who only got into the series over the past month or two. I don't have any personal stakes invested in any of the half/not-released Geneon titles (though I'm certainly happy for the Seirei fans who'll get the chance to own the whole series), but what I am concerned about are some of their more popular older licenses that are now out-of-print and that I'll probably wind up eventually watching some day and wanting to buy; I suppose I'll most likely have to hope that there are still copies out there when I want to buy them. |

yeah, certain volumes of ergo proxy are nearly impossible to find anywhere and the ones you do find sell for about $50 a pop on Amazon.

This is great news. But chalk up another hopeful for Story of Saiunkoku being rescued. I need some good shojo anime that lets me think and not get diabetes from too much cute.

Yay this is great news since Guardian of the Sacred Spirit was one of few titles from 2007 that I really liked and would buy. I'm still however trying to save up for the Samurai Champloo box set which is $150+ and sold out at most places unless someone would be kind enough to rescue the license and release it in a cheaper box set.

I'm so happy this series was relicensed, such a great one. Hopefully this leaves good news for Hellsing Ultimate as well and they should be able to bring out the second season for black lagoon quickly since Viz finished the dubbing.

So I have a feeling FY is gonna go to Viz, Hellsing will go to FUNimation, and Black Lagoon will go to ADV.

Wow! I'm thrilled to hear that this has been (re)licensed! This is the only 'orphaned' Geneon-licensed series that I really cared about—and I really did care about it a good bit, so I'm very glad indeed to hear that it will at last be released stateside.

Is this a true license rescue, or simply Media Blasters acting as distributor?

I'm assuming that MB is acting more like a distributor to the title instead of them actually acquiring the license, especially since the English language track for the series is all but completed and paid for. |

So is this the series I've seen clips of with the incredibly art and animation and the awsome spear fights? If it is then that's cool that it's coming here.
