Funimation is getting ready to move out from it’s Roommate (Navarre)

<-If you click on it, you can see where it says Navarre corporation. Expect that part of the Funi logo to go away

Well, after a recent newscast on ANN it appears that Funimation’s parent company Navarre is looking to sell the company. However, business reports bore me, so I’m going to explain in metaphors….

Now then you see, when Funimation was a smaller company, they had some trouble making it out in the world after being told to move out from his parents (being sold by the original founders.) Hence, they moved in with Navarre, a software company. Navarre and Funimation were good roommates, and while they got along, they mostly minded their own business. Funimation had to hit up Navarre for beer money and gas a lot of the time, but when rent came around, Funimation still had to pay up.

However, Funimation is now making a lot of money off the internet, and wants to get a roommate that helps out more with it’s goals. Unfortunately, Navarre is too busy with his own job to help Funi work on his career goals. Hence, Funi and Navarre decided that it would be best if Funi found a roommate that cared more about his internet business than Navarre does, so that Funi can get bigger.

But why doesn’t Funi go out and just rent his own apartment? Well, you see the problem here is that while Funi has been doing much better for itself and could probably move out on his own, he doesn’t have much money saved up in case something goes wrong. Not to mention, it would still need to pay the security deposit he paid Navarre to move into the place. So for the time being, Funi is looking for a new roommate in order to help him a bit while he gets back on his feet. Fortunately though, I think Funi will be able to pay most of the rent while the new roommate mooches off of Funi’s beer money, rather than the other way around. Hopefully the new roommate will not hold Funi back too much, or worse, Funi gets a psychotic roommate. If Funi winds up with a psychotic roommate, they may get in the way of Funi’s business. If the roommate doesn’t pay their rent on time (provide enough resources or growth potential), Funi may not wind up being able to expand his online business. That wouldn’t be as bad as if Funi moved in with an Obsessive-Compulsive roommate, because Funi could easily replace a slacker roommate. Now then, Funi also has a chance of moving with an obsessive compulsive guy who will get in Funi’s way, and nitpick every aspect of Funi’s online business. This is bad, because Funi is a great webmaster, and obsessive compulsive roommates don’t really understand how Funimation’s online business works, and would really screw things up. However, both Funi and his current roommate Navarre are both feeling optimistic about the new roommate that Funimation gets

Let’s all wish Funimation good luck on finding a new roommate company, preferable one that will want to help Funi’s online business grow.
