I'd efffff them so hard right now...

It's for a good cause, right?

I guess I'd have to see some money first.

*waits for full announcement*

I can understand ADV and FUNimation working together (hell, FUNimation is borrowing A LOT of ADV's VAs for their newer series), but Geneon?!

I smell corporate politics.

Or maybe a merger/buyout.

I am suprised as well Geneon would feel the need to join. That is, unless they plan on steamrolling the demographic barriers to the anime market in North America together. Yet again, it depends on the nature of the venture. (I know, it goes without saying, Sentient Satire, you daft fool)

I'm sure the next press release will illuminate this a bit more.
Dooooooon't let it be too cryptic and make more questions pop up.
You hear me FAG? (please see above if you are just seeing this topic) (priceless)
