In the ongoing lawsuit between FUNimation and ADV over ADV's dissolution and debts, ADV has decided to countersue as a third-party, claiming FUNimation is trying to monopolize the anime industry through illegal means. Filed on May 8th, 2012 in the Harris County Courts is an amended answer, original counterclaim and third-party claim by A.D. Vision against the entities collectively known by the public as "FUNimation."
Well...judging by the evidence, it does seem like most of all the anime that would sell well is being taken by Funimation.
Wow...I can't really think of any other anime business that isn't having trouble. It seems like Funimation and Viz are the only companies that are doing okay.
I got a lot of good box sets & OAV's from ADV and Bandai. Good times...good times.
