Personally, I'm all for them having a training room and new cheap talent. It means that unlike Geneon or Media Blasters, Funimation will continue to use good English VAs for it's dubs rather than using crappy Odex dubs or no English dubs at all. Besides, isn't one of the big complaints people like to have about English dubs is that they use the same people over and over? (Well, at least people say that all the time with ADV dubs and it was mentioned in passing about the Haruhi dub.) New talent, new voices, same great Funimation script work. (Well, at least I think their script work is great. Only my opinion, though their excellent sales might be evidence in my favor.) @: Dargonxtc: Yeah, that was kind of dumb of me to start bringing up something political. I just never have been able to grasp people's love of the income tax when a sales tax is so much better. It's like people enjoy having their paycheck cut nearly in half before they can even cash it. |

FUNimation has been out of Ft. Worth since they started, and now they are going to be in Flower Mound. ADV is in Houston. Illumitoon is in Ft. Worth. |

Oh my, such rampant confusion here about taxes. Corporate taxes are very different from income taxes, folks. I live in a state with no state income tax, yet companies are fleeing here because the corporate taxes are so repressive. I'm not familiar with Texas' corporate tax structure, but in any event I doubt that's why Funi chose to locate there. I'm thinking it's more likely just the fact that they (and ADV) "grew up" there. It's not that easy to just pick up shop and ship off to another state. Plus, taxes are not the only reason a company would locate in a certain place.
Also, for all of you so enamored with the sales tax (should I be typing this in really small print?) you should maybe give it a little more in depth thought. It's pretty commonly accepted among economists that a sales tax is one of the most regressive tax structures possible. It places a higher tax burden in terms of percentage of income going to taxes on the poor. It also plays havoc with state government's budgeting when you live in a state with only sales tax. Every time the economy fluctuates and people's spending patterns change the state's revenue stream goes up and down as well. As far as Funi getting a new headquarters, maybe now they will have room in their warehouse for some bigger subtitles instead of using the half sized ones they have now.

I just want to chime back in and say that I pay plenty in income taxes. I don't know who started the rumor that Texans don't pay income taxes, but it's very much false false false.
Like the poster above said, corporations are the ones with the tax breaks. Remember George Bush was Texas' Gov before President, so he made sure big businesses had better benefits then the actual citizens. |

Every day is Casual day! (unless we have our Japanese partners come in then we dress up!) We did start up a company softball team so yeah off-season practices can be indoors! I don't think we have the scooters approved yet but we're trying! 
Although we still have some DBZ Skateboards... Hmmm... The nice thing about Texas is we're a Right to Work State. So in terms of Voice Acting you don't have to belong to the Union like most places based in California, New York, etc. It'll be nice to be in a new space, right now we are starting to get a little cramped and there's now only a few more empty cubicles scattered about. |

Welcome back, FuniRepBlue! LOVE the Makona hat and I'm enjoying the heck out of Tsubasa! Just to be off topic a tad.
Here to hoping that you and Red get nice LARGE cubicles so that y'all can visit us more here on ANN! Enjoy the new building...and here's hoping that Funi hires movers to move you guys...I helped move the department store where I work from one end of our mall to the other...it WAS NOT FUN! Professional movers are much, MUCH better! |

Here is Texas, we pay federal income tax. Many states also have a state income tax, if I am not mistaken, Lonecow. Congrats to Funi on their new construction.

Thanks it's actually from the Tsubasa Gaia quest. I just decided to slap the hat on my avatar too. Last month I was using the pirate patch to celebrate One Piece. I think the new Gaia quest starts tomorrow for another Tsubasa item. If it's cool maybe I will switch em out! I know they are going to use professional movers so it should be an easy move when it happens. Back when I was still at Gamestop we had professional movers when we went to our new building then. It's amazing what those guys can do over a weekend! |

Hey, maybe with all of this they can sort their bitrate problems out.
Wait, wishful thinking. |
