Crunchyroll Absorbs Funimation's Anime Library Moving Forward
After purchasing the anime streaming service, Crunchyroll, last year, Sony Pictures Entertainment is shifting its other anime-focused service, Funimation, and all of its content under the Crunchyroll banner.
Effective immediately, Crunchyroll is now the home to an even more massive library of anime titles including many English dubs that previously were produced by and presented by Funimation. A full list can be found on the Crunchyroll site, but here are some of the shows now available for Crunchyroll viewers:
- Attack on Titan: Junior High (Sub and Dub)
- Black Clover ep. 1–170 (Dub)
- Cowboy Bebop (Sub and Dub)
- Darling in the Franxx (Dub)
- Dr. Stone seasons 1 and 2 (Dub)
- Fire Force seasons 1 and 2 (Dub)
- Fruits Basket seasons 1-3 (Dub)
- Hunter x Hunter ep. 1–74 (Dub)
- My Hero Academia seasons 1–5 (Dub)
- Scarlet Nexus (Dub)
- Sk8 the Infinity (Sub and Dub)
- That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime seasons 1 and 2 and OADs (Dub)
- Tokyo Ghoul (Dub)
- Yu Yu Hakusho ep. 1-112 and OVAs (Sub and Dub)
- Yuri!!! on Ice (Dub)
Starting with the upcoming spring season for anime, Crunchyroll will be the place to catch subs and dubs of any new anime for both Sony-owned streamers. Funimation users will only be able to watch new episodes of series already existing on the Funimation service, so now is definitely the time to migrate over to Crunchyroll. To encourage the switch and ease the transition, Funimation subscribers will be receiving an email with an offer for 60 days of a premium Crunchyroll subscription for free.
Crunchyroll recently became one of four streaming apps available on the Nintendo Switch, and with this consolidation, renders Funimation's Switch app obsolete, bringing the count ostensibly back down to three.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
