Funimation Entertainment (previously known as Funimation Productions, and usually stylized as FUNimation) is an American entertainment company. Originally founded in 1994 by Gen Fukunaga, the company became a subsidiary of Navarre Corporation on May 11, 2005. Funimation produces, markets, and distributes anime and other entertainment properties in the United States and international markets. The company is headquartered in Flower Mound, Texas.

Case Closed

Funimation is in charge of providing the English dubbing of Detective Conan. The show is known as "Case Closed" in the United States.

Dubbing

According to R. Bruce Elliott, the english voice of Richard Moore, the cast dubbed 130 episodes (123 if you go by the Japanese way,) and the first six movies. However, all of this was done in 2004.

Current status of the dub

Funimation's convertion of the principal characters' names into Anglicized forms was heavily criticized by various parties. It is currently unknown if Funimation will continue dubbing the show, due to low sales of the DVD's, as well as low ratings when the show aired on Adult Swim. However, season five of the show is currently big seller at many retail outlets, even making the top ten list of most sold Funimation DVD's at Amazon.com.
