Funimation representative Adam Sheehan was recently interviewed by the Wall Street Journal regarding how his passion for anime led him to the position of Events Manager for the leading anime distributor based on marketshare.

The interview reads like an introductory piece and details the job description, but it’s good to see Funimation get exposure in one of the largest newspapers in the country.

In related corporate news, Funimation is also running an ad campaign on the Gawker Media blog network and giving away the recently released Afro Samurai: The Complete Murder Sessions bundle in a giveaway.
