If Funimation one day goes bankrupt, it would make a lot of things more "Convenient" for someone like me....that's all I can say. un-fucking-believable you dare call yourself an anime fan while saying such garbage? do you really think downloading anime is WAY better than physically owning the anime in dvd form? no wonder people like you are looked down upon. |

diezle said: well as a true anime lover i would like to say a few things... 1) what? 2) if you really want to improve sales, get better voice actors. Japanese seiyu's really put funimation to shame Yes, because hearing an adult Goku talking like a little kid, is so much better than hearing him sounding like an adult. Funi has a damn good cast of voice actors. Just watch the FMA dub. |

alexcampos said: Badhiro said: I dont get you, if you download ALL your anime titles regardless if its licensed by funi or any R1 company(not like you care for copyright laws), why would you care if they are in business or not? its not like it would change anything for YOU if they went out of business, you would still dl anime and what not. I'm proud to be one of the few people who can honestly say I get all my anime for FREE and no I don't care about supporting the industry, nor do I care if Funimation or any other American company with their MILLIONS OF DOLLARS goes out of business. If Funimation one day goes bankrupt, it would make a lot of things more "Convenient" for someone like me....that's all I can say. ......you're an idiot. Go troll somewhere else. On topic, so this means that Funimation is independent right? So what exactl does that mean for them? |

alchemist11 said: Redfoxoffire said: Seeing as it's only in English, as you pointed out, does that even count as Americanized? Americanization occurs when a licensing company makes edits to the actual content, but since Afro Samurai was clearly intended to be the way it is, that doesn't really fit the bill. Okay, that wasn't the greatest of examples. But of the animes I've seen (or attempted) that Funimation licensed, that was the most blatant. Other's that I've seen would be Samurai Champloo and Shaman King. Samurai champloo isn't really americanized, other than it's available in english dubbed. alchemist11 said: Also, when I say Americanisation, I don't mean just terms, spelling or grammar, but incorrect translation to suit the American audience. Such as using "bastard" for teme. Teme is means "you" but with an exclamation. And so forth. I haven't seen European English subs use bastard for teme. isn't that just nit picking? |

Which is a horrible way to translate anything, because that makes things hard to read. Anything hard to read leads to breaks in reading concentration. And that's not the way to go about translating anything, since the goal of any competent translator is to translate in a way that results in a completely smooth end result. The very literal way of translating teme leads to more problems than using bastard! |

| So, Gen Fukunaga sold FUNimation in an all cash transaction to himself....huh. Makes sense if you don't think about it. Too bad I already tried thinking about it. |

Others do it, so that makes it okay, right? Quit your self-justification. It would be one thing to be a pirate but not be proud of it and only doing it because you really can't afford anime. Even I only really buy my favorites because money just doesn't come easily to me. But the attitude you're taking is unbelievably asinine. You and everyone else like you are a disgrace to the anime fanbase. |

Geolga9 said: Think harder. Funimation was founded by Fukunaga but it was owned by Navarro. Navarro sold Funimation to Fukunaga and it's executives which basically means they are a free company again who doesn't have to answer to a parent company.So, Gen Fukunaga sold FUNimation in an all cash transaction to himself....huh. Makes sense if you don't think about it. Too bad I already tried thinking about it. If I'm to compare this situation to another similar transaction it resembles Viacom's sale of Harmonix which also turned Harmonix back into an independent studio. |

| So basically FUNimation bought FUNimation? Sokayz then.. xD |

You do know you can watch free anime legally with ad-support right?? No one is forcing you to pay. Wither this guy is a troll or not its still pretty pathetic for he/she to leech without at least buying one little thing to support the industry and their favorite series. Yes I do download anime every once in a blue moon to use for AMV material, but I buy my stuff when I get the money. |

Unfortunately, I'll admit I stream anime a lot and usually never buy the DVD sets but at least I don't have that attitude. And if FUNi went bankrupt anyway, Anime would cease to exist in America. |

| As a Stock Investor, I am thrilled they sold, but not to thrilled since I don't invest in their losing shares lol, but hopefully they will begin rising again, so I may throw money their way. I will be paying better attention now after I do some research on their strategies. Does anyone have any idea of KIDE: 4kidentertainment I've been wanting to throw money into that lately in the hopes of them generating another cashcow of "Pokemon" like proportions. |

They have lost their biggest franchise (Yu-Gi-Oh) and have a potential lawsuit staring them in the face, so they are now on life support. I imagine that the shares would be dirt cheap right now, but there's a good chance of them going bust, so it's probably not the best idea to invest in them. As for this story, meh. It won't make any difference over here in the UK. |

| funimation sold to fuknimation whats the diff |
| I personally don't like buying DVDs/BRs cause they take up to much space. One standard series is usually divided into too many of them. |
