'''Geneon Entertainment''' was formed in 2003 after [[Pioneer Entertainment|Pioneer]] sold off its entertainment division to another Japanese giant conglomerate known as Dentsu, Inc. The new name is a portmanteau of the English words "'''gen'''erate" and "'''eon'''", which means to signify innovation and longevity. This name would become bitterly ironic as in late 2007, the struggling Geneon USA stopped manufacturing and distributing DVDs, although they still existed as a licensing entity. In 2008, it licensed several of its titles to [[Funimation]]. Geneon Japan continued to distribute DVDs in various genres, including some mainstream Hollywood films. On November 21, 2008, Dentsu announced to sell 80.1% of the company to [[NBCUniversal]]. The company was merged with Universal Studios Japan (the deal was closed on February 1, 2009) and was renamed to Geneon Universal Entertainment, part of Universal Pictures International Entertainment. On December 13, 2013, the company was renamed to NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan. | '''Geneon Entertainment''' was formed in 2003 after [[Pioneer Entertainment|Pioneer]] sold off its entertainment division to another Japanese giant conglomerate known as [[Dentsu (Japan)|Dentsu, Inc.]] The new name is a portmanteau of the English words "'''gen'''erate" and "'''eon'''", which means to signify innovation and longevity.
