Funimation
Up until November 2006, FUNimation Entertainment distributed its titles in the United Kingdom through MVM. However, in a surprise announcement, FUNimation switched its UK distributor to Revelation films, starting in early 2007. This move has been credited to Funimation’s takeover by the Navarre Corporation, which already distributed titles via Revelation in the UK. MVM retained its licenses for some series animated by studio GONZO and licensed by FUNimation in North America, such as Samurai 7 and Burst Angel, since they were licensed directly from GONZO. Nevertheless, MVM’s market share was damaged, and the publisher lost some of its most popular titles, including Fruits Basket (although re-licensed by MVM in late 2011) and Fullmetal Alchemist. They later lost access to Chobits when the US rights passed from Geneon USA to Funimation however they succeeded in re-licensing it in late 2010 followed by Fruits Basket and Kiddy Grade in late 2011. MVM's most recent releases of Funimation-licensed titles (who have had an exclusive distribution agreement with Manga Entertainment since October 2008) are Aquarion, .hack//Quantum, Shakugan no Shana Second, and Ga-Rei Zero.
