R.I.P. Geneon.

To be honest, I never liked your new name (Pioneer just sounds more inspiring), and I absolutely despise what you did to the names in Saiunkoku Monogatari. But all the same I was looking forward to collecting that and Shounen Onmyouji, and Seirei no Moribito whenever that came out.

I don't think it was the fansubs that killed you, but then again, I don't really know anything about such things statistics-wise or otherwise.

I hope your orphaned series find good homes.

[I might update this later with more background when I'm better able to sort through relevant news links. In the meantime, perhaps this and this will suffice.]
