The names of companies have changed yet again.

Not much of a name change. They just added a different business-like term. They should get rid of the name altogether. A company that has a name like "FUNimation and has heavy handed titles like Gunslinger Girl and FMA, it almost lowers the credibility of said titles.

I thought the FUN was always capitalized. Did I miss something?

Amazing, a modern-day entertainment company merger that doesn't involve the creation of a new company name by slamming together two disparate words in the hope you can create a new, more memoreable word out of them.

It has always been capitalised. You didn't miss anything.
