Robert's Anime Corner Blog has an excellent blow-by-blow account of how the news unfolded (http://animecornerstore.blogspot.com/2008/07/some-adv-new-releases-now-suspended.html) and more details on Funimation's conquest (http://animecornerstore.blogspot.com/2008/07/adv-implodes-funimation-picks-up-advs.html).

Might have to pick that up. I don't mind Funimation's "industry giant" approach. I've always thought that the R1 anime business wasn't strong enough or stable enough to support so many different companies. With Funimation, we know they can support themselves well with the likes of DBZ so we don't have to worry about them going anywhere soon. Here's hoping they make Keroro Gunsou a priority. Never been a fan of Viz. They put too much stuff in limbo without any real explanations. They've already burned me on Corrector Yui and Full Moon wo Sagashite seems to be in the same boat now. Even Prince of Tennis has vanished off the radar after the 4th box set. Hayate was a surprise to me. Might have to pick that up. I don’t mind Funimation’s “industry giant” approach.

Just how much more direct did the manga make it? There was never anything ambiguous about the Shinji/Kaworu dynamic. Just how much more direct did the manga make it?
