FUNimation Entertainment Moving Forward with Blu-ray

In a recent interview with Active Anime, FUNimation Entertainment's CEO Gen Fukunaga was asked if his company had seen success with Blu-ray. He responded, "Yes, we've seen success, and definitely to the point that we've already invested in authoring all of our Blu-ray titles in-house. We bought our own equipment over the last few months, hired people, and we are doing everything in house."

"Our long-term goal is to replace standard def with blu-ray," he continued. "We expect to convert all of our strong titles into Blu-ray. Unfortunately, we might not be able to do that on titles that didn't sell well at all in standard def, but, since most of those titles don't fall into that lower category, I think a lot of them pretty much make Blu-ray in the next couple of years."
