US anime distributor Central Park Media filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy, according to ANN and Crain's New York Business. CMP owes around $1.2 million to creditors and hasn't released anything in 12 months.

CMP, and its divisions like US Manga Corps and Anime 18, have released prominent titles in the US in the past. This includes Grave of the Fireflies, Utena, Patlabor, Record of Lodoss War, Slayers, Project A-Ko and La Blue Girl.

Chapter 7 means that the company has closed down and faces liquidation, as opposed to allowing to restructure. The future of its currently-own titles is unknown. Who wants to bet FUNi saves some?
