Business is business, and companies like business. Over the ocean, far far away, ADV Films has struck a deal with the guys and (little) girls from Geneon Entertainment, regarding distribution, marketing, sales, and various other things that are of no concern for the vast majority of us, who get their anime from... some other places.

Now why is this of importance? First of all, the said departments are gone from Geneon, meaning massive unemployed people, now roaming the streets in search of another job. Second, Geneon will maintain its “label” on all its products, and will continue (at least that’s what they say) to license and produce anime in the ol’ US of A. Third, if we get a bit meaner, we can say that ADV has now full control over what to release or what not to release in the said country. And since there are *some* narrow minded folks working at ADV, I fear for many good titles that will either be censored, or simply not licensed because of... you know, immoral content.

Personally, I don’t give a shit about what’s going on in the States, since it does not concern me, nor it affects me in any way. But I guess they should have access, like the rest of us, to all anime, be it good or bad, be it lolicious or not. I bet Ichigo Mashimaro porn would NEVER EVER get released there.
