We have been covering the potential sale of FUNimation by their parent company Navarre for a while now, but no major updates have come since the potential sale was announced at the end of this past May. This week, however, Navarre filed an 8-K noting that during its Annual Meeting of Shareholders that prior day, they have so far received “six indications of interest from potential acquirers”, and that they anticipate receiving final offers within the next sixth to ninety days. There is really nothing more to report right now, though — business continues as usual for FUNimation with Navarre’s full support in the mean time. We will of course keep tabs on things, as FUNimation’s position in the North American anime industry combined with the types of releases that the Dragon Ball franchise is receiving right now makes the situation enthralling to all of us.
