FUNimation Goes Blu-ray Too
Posted July 16, 2007 by Josh
In an article over at IGN, anime distributor FUNimation Entertainment has revealed that they will support Blu-ray exclusively for high definition movie content. The company, most notably associated with 'Full Metal Alchemist', stated their intent to deliver content on Blu-ray by the end of the year. This decision came after 18 months of researching both formats.
Ward Thomas, Senior VP of Sales and Operations at FUNimation commented, "We started researching this about a year-and-a-half ago, actually. We feel that the fanbase and our customers are very much trailblazers on the technology side, so it's something we wanted to get involved in right away. We really felt that the introduction of the PlayStation 3 last year was kind of a foray for our customers and fans to at least get into the next-gen platforms."
Look news of FUNimation Blu-ray releases soon.
