The End of FUNimation Sorry if this is long FUNimation has been SOLD to Navarre Corp., according to an article. FUNi has been sold for over $100 million dollars including a stock deal. This means Navarre Corp. will have access to the properties of Dragonball Z, Dragonball GT, Yu Yu Hakusho, Case Closed and Fullmetal Alchemist. Here's what the CEO of Navarre Corp. and FUNi had to say: "The completion of the FUNimation acquisition will be a continuation of the transformation of our company as it reflects the ongoing execution of our strategy to utilize the strong underlying asset of our distribution business to support and assist in the growth of our higher margin publishing business," Eric Paulson, chairman and CEO of Navarre said in a statement. "FUNimation will bring new business skills of international licensing and brand development. With the signing of this agreement, we look forward to welcoming FUNimation to the portfolio of companies in our Publishing segment." "We are extremely excited to join the Navarre family of companies," said Gen Fukunaga, president of FUNimation Productions, Ltd. "Utilizing Navarre's capital structure and distribution efficiencies will aid FUNimation in its ongoing business." The deal is expected to close before May 15th, 2005 |

Can you just sum up what it says for us dumb people? I agree with him. I have no idea what Trigun is talking about. Though Marccio is right this should be in anime news. |

it's just the editing that they did that made it really crappy. however i am worried that voices may be recast.... considering that the saiyan and nameck sagas are supposed to be released uncut by april

Well, this could work in our favour. I like the funi dubs, but there's definite room for improvement. Maybe It'll get re-done.
