Funimation Anime Streaming Service Is Shutting Down And Crunchyroll Is Raising Its Prices

Oh wow, monopolization, higher fees. Such capitalism. Much free market.

Enshittification for profit

Prob just drop my subscription then. Not nearly enough new content to warrant it. I'll find a way to watch what I want, I'm sure.

All I’m hearing is ☠️🏴‍☠️

and, im guessing, dropping streaming quality again?

Closing the Funimation service is totally understandable and I would make the same business decision. There is no point in owning two different services that do the same thing. That price hike though. That is BRUTAL. The catalog isn't nearly large enough and the quality of the streaming service and subtitles aren't remotely good enough to warrant that price.

Soooo… does anyone have a torrent of a complete and unabridged copy of that library?

Would be interested in lending my assistance in seeding for those who have just lost everything they have paid for.

The separation of shows I wanted to watch is why I stopped paying for Crunchyroll initially. Since then I've realized how much the Crunchyroll player and service as a whole sucks. I'll continue to roleplay like I'm in one piece 🏴‍☠️

I heard Nyaa.si is nice this time of year...

Shame, but Im not paying that

So are they gonna finish moving titles over? There are still things that I can’t find on CR that are on Funi. Serial Experiments Lain is a good example. Not to mention uncut titles vs broadcast.

"Effective immediately, fuck you. Now give us more money!"

It's a bold strategy, Cotton, let's see if it pans out.
