Red Planet Media Launches FUNimation Channels Mobile VideoonDemand Service with Two Exciting Anime Titles
Red Planet Media announced today the launch of the FUNimation Channel mobile video-on-demand service, which brings leading anime titles to the screens of mobile phones by simply pointing a mobile phone browser to http://jumpinmobile.com/funimation. Fans can also gain quick access by texting the words "go funimation" to the number "22646".
The new service allows AT&T Wireless subscribers with video-capable phones to access entire episodes of Moon Phase and Galaxy Railways on a pay-per-clip basis. This represents the first phase of an ongoing roll out where entire seasons of FUNimation Channel's leading anime titles will be available through a mobile video-on-demand service across a broad selection of video-capable mobile phones and wireless carriers. Red Planet Media manages the content programming and discovery while partner Olympusat delivers the supporting advertising campaigns and QuickPlay Media powers the video delivery.
"The launch of this great portfolio of Japanese anime as a mobile video-on-demand service for AT&T subscribers is the result of a great team effort," stated Dean Fresonke, President of Red Planet Media. "This same team is readying the launch of a vast new catalog of mobile video programming along with an advertising campaign that will be unprecedented in the industry. It will open many peoples' eyes to the power of mobile video."
"FUNimation Channel's anime titles are hot with the same 15 to 30 year olds that are quick to adopt new mobile phone technology like mobile video services," stated Kim Fragione, Vice President of Acquisition and Development at Olympusat. "We see this as the beginning of a mobile video distribution program with a very bright future."
