FUNimation To Simulcast [C] – Control – The Money and Soul of Possibility

Flower Mound, Texas (April 14, 2011) – Fuji Television’s popular noitaminaA block continues in the U.S. as FUNimation Entertainment, the leading distributor of Japanese animation in North America, announced today it will partner with Fuji for the exclusive online simulcast of its newest series: "[C] – Control – The Money and Soul of Possibility"

The first episode will be available at www.funimation.com/video<http://www.funimation.com/video> starting April 21, one week after its Japanese broadcast debut. Each week a new episode will be added to the site in addition to third-party streaming partners.

“[C]” is an ongoing original series produced by Tatsunoko Production and directed by Kenji Nakamura (“Mononoke,“ “Ayakashe”, “Flying Trapeze”). Noboru Takagi (“Durarara!!”, “Baccano!”) is scripting it and mebae (“Cencorol” and “Black Rock Shooter”) will be doing the character designs

About [C]

The Japanese government was rescued from the brink of financial collapse by the Sovereign Wealth Fund. For its citizens, however, life has not improved, and unemployment, crime, suicide, and despair are rampant. Kimimaro, raised by his maternal grandmother after the disappearance of his father and the death of his mother, is a scholarship student whose only dream is to avoid all this and live a stable life. One day, however, he meets a man who offers him a large sum of money if he'll agree to pay it back. From then on his fate is radically altered as he's drawn into a mysterious realm known as "The Financial District."

Expected but glad it's finally confirmed!

I am mildly interested in this series. I will give it a look.

Since Aniplex seems to be the primary rights holder for Anoha over Fuji Creative, I reckon they want to take that elsewhere than Funi to simulcast it (like with Wondering Son). Maybe with ANN.
