History Trivia / MoribitoGuardianOfTheSpirit

* StudioHop: The anime is quite infamous for never being able to maintain a license holder for very long to the point of it being a RunningGag. First, Creator/{{Geneon}} USA had the license but then they went kaput and Creator/MediaBlasters rescued it, but then ''they'' were beginning to go through a rough time themselves (but MB eventually made a surprise comeback in 2020). Eventually, Creator/VizMedia would acquire the license in 2014, but this wouldn't last long either as Creator/SentaiFilmworks [[note]] the resurrected corpse of Creator/ADVFilms [[/note]] snagged the license in 2020, and as of this writing Sentai still has the license.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The English dub shown on Creator/AdultSwim started at a decent 1:30 a.m. timeslot, albeit with no advertising. Then, after episode 3 it was kicked to a ''5:30 a.m.'' timeslot [usually reserved for filler like ''WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}}'' and ''Anime/{{Voltron}}'']. It was then restarted after 10 episodes in its original timeslot, but was dropped ''again'' due to the fallout of Creator/{{Geneon}} going bankrupt; the release of the [=DVDs=] got snagged up in red tape. [adult swim] was not permitted to continue showing ''Moribito'' until the licensing issues were resolved and [=DVDs=] 4-8 were allowed to be released. However, the problems were eventually solved, and [adult swim] re-aired and completed the series between June and December 2009, still with little to no advertising from [as] though, and was moved down from 1:30 a.m. to 2:30 a.m. midway through its run.

After than and a couple false starts it finally aired completely and in a better timeslot, but still with zero advertising.
