FUNimation...for sale??

Yes everyone, Navarre Corporation, the parent company of FUNImation, has placed the anime power house up for sale. Why? Because FUNimation Entertainment and Navarre Corporation has "distinct" "strategy and capital requirements." As a result, to further the success of FUNimation, "the Company anticipates that those plans are best executed with ownership that has assets or expertise in those areas."

To all those fans who are worried about releases, according to FUNimation's blog, if the sale does occur, it "will not change our release schedule."

So who wants to buy FUNimation Entertainment?
