Ohayotaku Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) I seem to remember someone asking about this when the merger process started. So decided to post the official links for anyone interested (please note that the lists only include titles/versions that were previously exclusive to Funimation’s streaming platform) Added to CR June 2022 Cumulative List Edited May 31, 2022 by Ohayotaku 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efaardvark Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) Funimation is now owned by Sony, which also owns Crunchy. In all likelihood at some point one or the other will be shut down by the parent company as a cost-saving measure. I think I already read somewhere that Sony was phasing out the Funimation brand. That or they’ll do something like migrate all the subscribers of both existing services to a new service and shut the old ones down.

Ohayotaku Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 They’ve been migrating Funi’s titles to CR site, but gradually. And unfortunately it seems some of their bugs/glitches are along for the ride. If watch any videos on Funi’s site it’s prefaced by an ad for Crunchyroll, so pretty sure the Funimation site will shut down entirely at some point. Of course CR/Funi lost most of Sentai/HiDive’s titles now that they’re competitors. CR gets more titles per season & has more titles overall, but HiDive has been snatching up some high profile ones (Made in Abyss, Danmachi, Call of the Night, the new Urusei Yatsura). And now in addition to Netflix, Disney+ is getting in on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
efaardvark Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Wish Sony would've fixed the numerous issues with Crunchy's site first. I haven't been a Funimation subscriber for a while. How bad was Funi's that Sony decided Crunchy's was the better option? At least most of Crunchy's were "just" UI issues with their web site. The content itself is ok once you got into it. Quite a few of the transferred titles still don't even have the audio, subtitles, and/or video synced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just tried "Slow Loop" on Crunchy. The subs are about 5 seconds behind the audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR is my primary site for anime, but intend to keep HiDive too for the foreseeable future (at least until next year). Don’t intend to renew Hulu since my discounted rate expires in December (though it’s apparently the only legal option in the US for watching the new Bleach series). At the end of the month will probably let Netflix lapse till next year (still need to finish Edgerunners & maybe binge another series before time runs out). Might give Disney+ a look for the first time before the year is over, though Summertime Rendering release date in the US still hasn’t been announved.

Ohayotaku Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 CR doesn’t seem to be updating the cumulative list anymore. But Record of the Lodoss War (OVA & TV series) and Heat Guy J just got added to the site (and my queue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
