- Those titles mentioned aren't the only ones that will be lost. Nanoha would've had MAJOR potential in the US. Please, help an anime company out!

- i know some of the shows that geneon's are not as popular as Black lagoon or Hellsing. But they deserve the light of day as the others popular ones that everyone will be fighting for.

- This is a truly unfortunate turn of events, i think it necessary for any of the US anime distribution companies to pick up these titles and finish what Geneon started.For the sake of the fans, and for the sake of the industry.

- I respectfully ask that you consider our petition. I am a fan of many of the series listed under the Geneon brand, and am a proud owner of many of your other titles (Gunslinger Girl; D.N. Angel; [The] Gokusen; Scrapped Princess, to name a few). I would love to complete many of the Geneon series I was following, but if no one steps up to the plate to rescue these licenses they will be either lost or in limbo. And a title forgotten in limbo can easily lead to its death, unfortunately. In short, I hope that at least one of those fine companies mentioned on this petition decides to pick up at least one or two titles. Iпїand many others out thereпїwould greatly appreciate this. Thank you for your time.

- Please pick up Shonen Onmyogi, Karin, Kyo Kara Mao ( After collecting most of Kyou Kara Maoh, I am so miserable that I will never know the end of this great series after buying most of it!?!! ) The Story of Saiunkoku is beautiful animation and a great story. The one DVD release is 5 episodes out of 39 ep.'s. This series was just beginning. Black Lagoon Second Barrage is an amazing action adventure. Karin is a fun enjoyable series that is halfway through the first season. Please you have passionate devotees of anime here - ready willing and able to buy these titles from you! Please consider picking up these titles, you have a ready made group of buyers just waiting to spend their money.

- Please save Kyo Kara Maoh!! This is a great series and I would love to see the end of it!! I've waited all this time-please help save this and other great Geneon titles!! What a terrible thing this is: for fans not to be able to finish out the titles that we've been following for quite a while, as well as all the new titles Geneon had just started releasing.
