Note this does not include any old dubs.

They might be doing this to offer more new stuff for Funimation subscribers now that they can't make as many new simulcasts/dubs as they used to.

They did something similar when they offered the Nozomi USA catalog for streaming.  It’s a matter of bulking up their proprietary service, especially with so many simulcasts on delayed schedules.

That said, you know my stance on Funimation/Crunchyroll haters. I just do not see how they can reject anything that artists worked hard on except when it's free. I thought capitalism was the way of this country.

Looks like it's just a bunch of salty anti-FUNi tweeters to me.

Why the fuck would I listen to Thomas fucking Jefferson??

..... how could ALL the replies to that tweet be anti-Funimation people?? When did this happen!? What horrible things did they do to deserve all that?

[Chapinator_X]

Funimation will add the following titles:

Arakawa Under the Bridge (seasons 1, 2)
Daily Lives of High School Boys
The Eccentric Family

 

 

"soon"

 

 

They're also missing Katanagatari so it feels like the gang couldn't all be there to make it a little easier for weebs with subscriptions to discover some good animu.

Have you been living under a rock for the last year and a half? Funi showed their true colors, that and people are tired of them inserting their bullshit political agenda into series they work on. The mainstream series like DB and MHA Funi won't put that shit in since they get mainstream attention, but lesser anime series that don't get that level of attention gets riddled with their dumb changes and pushing their agenda.

Don't fuckin criticize me!! I seen plenty of fans praise Funimation on Twitter! My point was this is the first tweet I seen in my life where 100% of the replies all hated them! They been inserting their agenda for YEARS! I would've assumed that now that we're all fighting for our literal lives, they would just drop the arguments about a non-essential entertainment company doing some minor things!! But I guess I'll never learn not to assume anything!

STOP IT.

And with that freak out you brought my opinion of you back to the cry baby I associated you as back on the old boards.

Oh so people are still mad about the furry hentai getting pulled. Just watch it on hanime like a normal person.

Oh yeah, I never did watch Hanasaku Iroha. Maybe I'll finally get on that. They still have the license to more of their shows than I thought they did.
