Most of you are probably aware that FUNimation is being sold by its parent company, Navarre. Currently, Navarre has six buyers interested in FUNi, and is expecting final offers from these companies within "30 to 60 days" though this does not guarantee that a deal will take place.

The CEO and president of FUNimation, Gen Fukunaga, signed a new contract in May that will require him to assist in the sale of the company, and for doing so he will receive $250,000 or 5% of the contract, whichever is greater.

There's no word on who the six are as of now.

It's easy to forget that even with all the anime stuff that Funimation has going on, it's still a legitimate business like any other business. All the inner workings, the behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing is just like any other company. I am genuinely interested in who these 6 companies are, the kind of offer they'll make, and in what direction will they take Funimation.

Gen Fukunaga stands to make a good bit of money--heck, I would be happy with the $250,000, but that's just me. :-P

Let's just hope the new buyers don't do some executive meddling and turn it into another 4kids.
