It left several anime series partially released and several others would probably never see the light of day in the states. As well as a huge backlog of older titles. Apparently Funimation is willing to release several of Geneon's titles. Hopefully this means that I can finally get my hands on Second Barrage and the rest of When they Cry.

chibiyusa Rank : 48	Posted : 1 month, 3 weeks ago at Jul 4 12:09 - I don't believe Master Keaton was one of the titles Funimation picked up unfortunately. Luckily I keep seeing them DVDs in bargain bins usually for no more than ten dollars each... So I'd hold out hope! I'd totally buy a complete box set of Master Keaton :( (The only reason I didn't buy the singles when they were cheap was because I decided I needed Fighting Spirit instead. Now that's a show no one bought)

D= I was going to buy the DVDs during that Geneon sale, but my hopes and dreams were crushed when I learned Rightstuf doesn't ship to Canadian PO boxes. Oh, the humanity!

Though when I do walk around in the dealer's room at conventions I tend to see them in bargain bins there...
