funimation is more of a licensing and distribution company than an "anime studio"

  This is selling it short though. They hire actors/writers/directors to dub the content in order to do the distribution. They didn't hire 3rd party companies to do it. They did it in house in their studios. They were as much of a studio as a company can get without animating the content themselves.

    They ask themselves the difficult question for every anime: which character will be voiced by Vic Mignogna.

      Yeah, their credit list does look repetitive, and I made that opinion known all the time myself. To be fair, look at a Scorsese credit list, and you'll see a list of repeated names too. Not saying anything FUNi ever did is near that level. If you know that backstory of FUNi, it makes a lot more sense though

      Last I heard, Vic Mignogna had been more or less blacklisted from the industry due to sexual harassment allegations, so I don't think that question would be very difficult.
