Funimation To Pick Up Geneon Titles
source: ICv2
Good, now lets hope one of the titles is Black Lagoon Season 2
##################################
.: NEWS EDIT :.
There are reports that Funimation is in very early talks with Geneon to acquire titles from Geneon's library of titles. There are, however, no reports of what titles or how many titles will be bought by Funimation.
This would appear as good news for any fans who were following Geneon's releases, as there were no previous reports (as far as I know) as to whether the series would ever be completed.
The article also indicates that ADV and Geneon used funds from Japanese investors to raise their bids on recent anime licences.
Funimation made $31.4 million in 3rd quarter earnings. This is down from last years $35 million. This profit, however, still met profit expectations.

I think its great news. The more attention through distribution that anime gets, the more successful the anime/manga business becomes and the higher the chances of animes/mangas becoming completed. Just my opinion tho,

They are going to make an announcement tommorow about a new license and some suspect it will be Black Lagoon or Hellsing Ultimate.
Really? Wait, just one?!? I hope there's more... well I guess we'll wait and see.

I'd really love a Higurashi box though. Seeing it in DVD (or HD, mm!) glory would be wonderful.

Also Last Exile had a thinpack. The Range Murata set.

And CCS had the Clow book and Sakura Book sets that were released a little more than 2 years ago if you were lucky enough to get one.
