Well, RIP the Geneon name I guess. Like the Pioneer LDC name before it (1981-2003). Their ownership hasn't changed though - they've pretty much been owned by the NBC-Universal group since 2009.

When I was watching the DVDs of Index and Railgun, they showed the Universal logo so I don't see much changing, just that it's NBCUniversal Japan now(and yeah, not entirely thrilled that any future release from them could have the Comcast name on it).

I thought Index and Railgun's production was moved entirely to Warner Home Video a long time ago. Either way there you see the TimeWarner name lol.

In any case it's going to look a bit awkward from now on.

I mean, I'll have to get used to the idea of an American entertainment conglomerate now running a Japanese subsidiary (although we might not be seeing some exports, and besides such subsidiaries would be working autonomously on things such as Japan-exclusive items that would never be brought in America due to marketing reasons).
