Funimation Industry
In fairly typical Funimation style, the was heavily an enthusiastic promotional pitch for various Funimation services and products. After reviewing various Funimation series currently airing on Facebook presences. Their most interesting announcement in that realm was a campaign to bump their “friends” on Facebook, which stood at around 974,000 as of Saturday, up over the one million mark. When that happens, they claimed that there will be a special announcement that will be “very, very big” or even “huge, huge, huge, huge huge!”

The ists then went on to review recent releases, complete with short clips in some places. These included High School DxD, Fairy Tail: The Movie, and the One Piece movie Strong World.

The last announcements before taking questions were the other two special ones. The first concerned an total redesign of the main Funimation web site, which should be happening over the summer, and the second concerned Funimation's announcement that they have secured full home video rights for Attack on Titan, which is expected to come out in the U.S. in 2014.

Funimation Sneak Peek
Despite its billing, the “sneak peek” was really just a collection of short clips from recent and present Funimation properties as well as the newest episode of The Funimation Show, which is being streamed via YouTube.
