With the sudden acquistion of nearly 50 or more titles, Funimation is definitely positioning themselves to be THE north american distributor for anime. What I'm wondering is, how can any other company, sans Viz, really expect to compete? Geneon and ADV titles are pretty popular, and Funimation, while having a somewhat dubious track record, has enough power to, in my opinion, have a virtual "monopoly" on the anime market. Can we trust Funimation to maintain high quality products without any real competition? Interesting turn of events.
