Among the companies expressing interest have been Comcast’s Universal film division and Sony Pictures. Universal has decided not to proceed, according to the report; the status of the Sony interest is unknown. FUNimation has annual sales of over $100 million, and has grown over 10% a year since 2013. It partnered with Crunchyroll last year to share properties and split functions in the U.S. market (see “Anime Market Re-Aligns – Crunchyroll and FUNimation Partner”). FUNimation released the hit anime Your Name in U.S. theaters this year (see “U.S. Theatrical Release for Hit Anime ‘Your Name’ Announced”).
