Geneon Entertainment is a leading supplier of Japanese animation in the U.S., boasting an impressive library of titles that have been seen on large and small screens throughout North America.
On the theatrical front, Geneon Entertainment is credited with releasing a fully re-mastered version of the cult anime classic Akira in select digital and art house theaters throughout North America, as well as limited theatrical releases of Patlabor WXIII, Sakura Wars: The Movie and the live-action film Onmyoji, one of Japan's top grossing films.

 Geneon USA Withdraws From Distribution - Anime
Geneon Entertainment, Inc., a Japanese anime and distribution enterprise, was previously known as Pioneer Entertainment.
On October 6, 2007, Eiji Orii, Geneon Entertainment (USA)'s President and CEO, wrote a letter to the fans to address concerns and issues e-mailed to the company and posted to various internet messageboards.
While Geneon may not have been the biggest North American anime distributor (I would give that "title" to ADV Films), I believe that Geneon's withdrawal from North American distribution is going to hurt the U.S. anime industry.

 AnimeOnDVD.com - 2007 Year In Review
This is the kind of year in review I hate to write since it's about the loss of something very important to me. Geneon Entertainment essentially shuttered their doors this year after a series of issues that resulted in a forecast that caused various parties to pull out from Japan.
Geneon, when it was known as Pioneer, was the company that got me to where I am today when it comes to anime and home theater.
The year 2007 for Geneon Entertainment was one where you just didn't ese this coming if all you did was buy releases as they come out and enjoy what you put in your player.

Geneon Entertainment has ceased retailer sales of all DVD's as of Friday, Sept 28th 2007, and has canceled shipment of all upcoming releases scheduled to street after Nov 6th.
At this time we have received our final restock orders from Geneon, so availability of all of their DVD's and CD's are now limited to whatever stock we have left on hand, and their items will begin to come down off the store site as our inventory becomes depleted.
If there are any Geneon items you want for your collection, or to give as gifts this holiday season that you have not already ordered, we recommend you do so immediately before they are gone forever.
