Navarre has reported their sales for its fiscal 2008 Q1. Overall the corporation was slightly up in net income, however its Funimation branch has posted a staggering 60% increase in sales. This increase has been highly attributed to the Dragonball Z Box Sets and Afro Samurai, stating the new Dragonball releases have completely revived the property. A small decrease is expected in Q2, with no large releases, but growth is predicted for both Q3 and Q4.

Funimation now controls 32% of the North American anime DVD market share, up from last quarter’s 24%.
