On continuing Geneon license rescues:
“Anything that has not been picked up has essentially gone back to the original licensors in Japan.”

“Yes, we are. As of current, no plans yet for sub only version of Shin-Chan, as they’re mainly concentrating on the dub version that we’re seeing on Adult Swim and DVD.”
