I didn't even realize that they had a sale ongoing. I'll definitely pick up Shin-Chan for $18 after Backstage Pass is applied. Thanks for the list, DVDmaniac.

I was up at the mall yesterday and decided to check this sale out while I was in my FYE.
Mine has it listed as Up To 50% off select titles from 7/3 - 7/23.
I checked some of the titles out like Full Metal Complete Collection (old one) it came up $59.99 on sale.
I love how they put 50% off in big letters but "Up to" and "Select titles" is rather small.lol
I know its a common practice but it seems to cause confusion to a lot of people.

Any word on the packaging including Logo (both FUNimation and Geneon's logo plastered on the covers?). Are we looking at FUNimation type boxsets (i.e. Viridian) or Geneon's "conventional singles packaged into artboxes" boxsets?
Although i already snagged Geneon's Black Lagoon's release, should we expect a completely different packaging for Black Lagoon, When They Cry, etc, etc.?
Basically, any word if FUNimation will distribute these all from scratch with respect to packaging? Or have they come to deal where Geneon will essentially push the "play" button on their production assembly line that was on "pause" for several month.

Packaging should remain the same for the singles. Some of the unreleased (incomplete) singles should almost be ready. The complete collection may be another story (like Shana since they were no artbox). The pricing for the complete collection has dropped as well, so it's possible for them to go with a more FUNi type of packaging.
Until more information comes out, all we can do is speculate.

Since it has been a year since Funimation "rescued" Love Hina and we have not heard a thing since, I would guess it will be well over a year before we see anything on those series that were finished out by ADV before they lost them. Such as:

- Xenosaga Kos-Mos of Savings DVD Bundle (Hyb): $44.99
Note: Actually the recent release schedule of the old Geneon titles, included some collection of completed series. But with the size of the ARM deal, I would still expect the complete collections of former ADV titles to still be way off in the future.
