If "n" = Navarre, and "f" = FUNimation, Ltd., then use this information to answer the equasion below:

n + f = ?

Navarre aquired FUNimation: A deal was concluded for $100,400,000 in cash and 1,827,486 shares of unregistered Navarre common stock! "At today's closing value ($8.35, down .03 from yesterday), the Navarre stock is worth $15,259,508, bringing the immediate value of the acquisition to $115,659,508," says ANN. The sellers of FUNimation could also get as mych as $17,000,000 in cash over the period of five-years if FUNimation achieves certain agreed financial targets during that period.

Let's break down that equasion I gave you earlier: n + f = ?. So, we know that "n" is Navarre, and that "f" is FUNimation, and now we need to find out what these two add up together as? You guessed it! FUNimation Productions, Ltd -- their original name -- has been changed because of the merger. We're now faced with none other than FUNimation Entertainment!

Seeing as how Navarre is brand-new to the anime scene, how will this acquisition and merge affect future FUNimation releases? Will the quality I've seen with Fullmetal Alchemist or Spiral DVDs decrease in delicious yumminess? Will FUNimation finally release REAL "ultimate uncut" DVDs of Dragonball, Dragonball Z, and Dragonball GT? And will I finally get to shoot the retards who brought those three titles to America, fucked them up three times, and then shot them out the ass of some volcanic demon's ass (nevermind that it was still as popular as it was)? Meh, I'm biased against the DB(Z/GT) series anyway...

We'll find out soon enough!

sense Funimation handles alot of the censoring on the animes on Toonami do you think they will improve a bit?

It depends. The censorship is handled by booth Adult Swim and the companies that possess the license... I don't think there will be much a change overall, but they might boycott for less, but it wouldn't be much -- it is called Adult Swim -- but parents, censorship watcher, legal advisors, and shit still have a say in what goes on television, what's acceptable, and what's isn't in their eyes.
