Navarre Sells Funimation

Navarre, the parent company of Funimation up for years, has officially sold the long-time North American anime distributor for the sum of $24 million. Funimation was reportedly purchased by Gen Fukunaga (Funimation's CEO) and a number of other investors. In all honesty, this doesn't mean much of a change in the way Funimation operates - there may be some minor tweaks here and there, but overall I would expect them to continue dubbing and distributing anime in North America the same way they've been doing it for so many years. It's interesting to see the sale actually carried through, though, since word of a potential sale has been circulating the internet for a few months now (with Funimation themselves even coming forth to their consumers/fanbase about it).
