The1gairon Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 https://variety.com/2018/digital/news/funimation-ends-crunchyroll-anime-licensing-deal-sony-1202984211/ Funimation will end its partnership with Crunchyroll effective this month, and will also opt out of their VRV service, because SONY bought Funimation a year ago and didn't want to compete with telecommunications rival AT&T, which owns Crunchyroll. A lot of Funimation subs and dubs will migrate over to FunimationNOW soon, while other shows, dubs and subs, will remain with Crunchyroll. I hope this doesn't mean Funimation shows will be harder for Toonami to get from now on, given how AT&T is basically William Street's boss.

Jman Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Well fuck. The main reason I had VRV was because of the FUNi/Crunchyroll partnership. I didn’t exactly need old Rocko episodes as fun as that was. Unless they go and lower the price of VRV to the point that getting FUNiNow won’t be a damned headache, I’ll stick with the Crunchyroll/FUNi combo.

One thing that above link doesn't mention is that VRV will replace Funimation with HiDIVE, which isn't exactly boosting my confidence. I'd rather HIDIVE go on Roku.

The1gairon Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Cool. I start a thread on this a few minutes before Owlchemist does the same thing, and then everyone posts in his thread instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
