Funimation/Headscratchers

Is there any reason Funimation seems to be uploading XXX Holic to YouTube in reverse order? Why does Funimation claim that School Rumble doesn't have any rumbles. When in fact it does have rumbles? Maybe I've just been looking at the wrong series, but is there any reason why Funimation's been dubbing the openings?
 * So it shows up in their uploads in the right order?
 * That's what playlists are for, though.
 * .... It doesn't?
 * By what definition does it not have rumbles? It has fights, it has small riots (or at least a small riot), it even has low-pitched clatter and gurgle sounds.
 * It has no earthquakes.
 * There are plenty of series where the openings aren't dubbed. For those that are, they presumably would like to have them broadcast on TV at some point (makes more money) and people are more likely to watch something where the opening isn't in another language.
 * That doesn't explain how the OPs for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, among the most popular animes today and one of the only new ones running on television, are not dubbed in English.
 * I would understand this if FMA's opening/ending themes were written specifically for the show, but all ten themes are pop songs by established artists.
 * What is the point of releasing complete series in two parts, then releasing it again all in one package?
 * To scam more money from folks who Gotta Buy Them All.
 * Actually, it is a business stratagey used by many industries. It is the same reason that game systems start out being very expensive at first and get cheaper over time- it isn't that they're getting cheaper to make, they're just expanding their potential customers by bringing down the price level (this continues sales as well over a long period of time).
 * Why do they post both the subs and dubs for some shows (ie Soul Eater, FMA, Ouran, and others) but only the subs or dubs for others? I don't think I'd mind as much if there were shows where they only uploaded the subs, but why go through the process of dubbing something if it's not popular enough to warrant both?
 * Your last question seems to ignore the fact that they make DVDs. I'm fairly certain that all their DVDs include both subtitles and dubs. No dub would kill most of their potential market, and subs are necessary for the hearing-impaired. So the only meaningful question here is: why do they only post a subset of their available options, which I can't answer, but my guess would be that they want to encourage people to buy the DVDs. Note that the Netflix streaming option generally only has the dub.
 * On a related note, why is it that so many series have subs for the whole thing, but only the first handful of episodes dubbed? I usually prefer subs, but some dubs I'm very fond of (I.E.: Slayers) are like this even though I'm pretty sure Funi's done dubbing the whole season already.
 * I recently noticed that (while Archive Binging on Ouran High School Host Club) the dubbed episodes were actually removed from their site and YouTube. I think they're trying to get us to buy the DVDs, but that's proved counterproductive in my case as I'm just watching the dub without their permission, their adds, or their box sets.
 * And what's worse is when they only put up the first few episodes dubbed and nothing else.
 * Is it just me or do ALL the Funi dub voices sound the same/monotone
 * It's just you.
 * No, I agree with this. Their biggest stars have distinctive voices, but most of the side-characters sound ill-cast and unmotivated/disinterested.
 * Any voice actor will explain this to you in public events like cons, when asked. Voice acting in itself is harder than regular acting because the viewer won't see you on-screen, so you must put all the work into your voice, and very few actors can do that well. Not to mention how there is usually no one who responds to your performance other than a director and ADR engineer across from you in a small booth- not much to go on. But FU Nimation brings in a tremendous amount of titles, which would make you think that would provide enough practice and experience for the lesser-known names.
 * And the "same" part: Funimation is located in Flower Mount, Texas, itself which is isolated entirely from other entertainment facets in parts of the States like Hollywood, or New York City. Also, the economy has left income from dubs so small, it barely covers a one-way flight just to get to Texas in order to record only a few lines. So... Isolation + low budget + tons and tons of shows + limited resources = using the same actors over and over and over again.
 * Did FU Nimation replace Toonami, or take over its niche?
 * What are you talking about? Toonami was a broadcasting block, not a licenser.
 * Not sure what he's talking about either- anime on CN is on Adult Swim now, which runs dubs from companies in California with the exception of Fullmetal Alchemist.
 * Hey! The Funimation Channel is now off Verizon and Cablevision!! What the ****!?!??
