Well, since they are offering to stream it I might actually take the time to watch since I'm running out of space on my laptop to download anything new. |

Obligatory post: http://www.funimation.com/geoblocked.html This news is irrelevant for people outside the USA. Good for the USAns though and at least Funi is trying to improve.  |

No. It shouldn't be a surprise that they are the main one licensing series. They do control the largest market share in the US anime industry, and they are pretty much one of the few companies that is actually doing well in this economy. |
