Most of these had great English dubs, and most of them had really nice packaging and extras (those booklets they include with the box sets that are simply packed with helpful and interesting information). I won't say the prices were always justified ($200 for one season of Fushigi Yuugi? friend in college always called them "Pioneer, the pioneers of high prices in animé"), but they're the only company I've seen who were that consistently good about packaging extras.
Geneon Entertainment Exits (10:46 AM EDT): Though the finality of things is still up in the air, Geneon Entertainment has sent out information to retailers regarding their 4th quarter plans. According to the information, Geneon will be shipping all releases they have in the queue for street dates through 11/05/2007. All orders placed after this coming Friday is non-returnable. As of 12/31/2007, they will be shutting down, apparently completely as AnimeNation is listing everything past 11/11/2007 as canceled. Plans for beyond 12/31/2007 are still up in the air but what little is being said indicates that they're intending to focus on their own properties in a similar way to Kadokawa Pictures USA is doing things.
