The entire library of anime on Funimation is moving to Crunchyroll. The announcement comes almost eight months after Sony completed its acquisition of Crunchyroll from AT&T.
With the merger of Crunchyroll and Funimation, Crunchyroll will remain the same including the pricing and many shows. Eventually, previous separate services will become a single subscription service.
There are currently over 40,000 sub and dub episodes on Crunchyroll. By the end of March 2022, users on Crunchyroll will be able to watch “80% of Funimation and Wakanim’s most popular existing series.” People who are currently subscribed to both Crunchyroll and Funimation can cancel their Funimation account when ready. The Funimation watch history hasn’t made the transition to Crunchyroll yet but will eventually do so.
“When we brought Funimation and Crunchyroll together last year, our top priority was to put fans first,” said Colin Decker, Crunchyroll CEO. “Unifying all of our brands and services under the Crunchyroll brand globally enables us to offer more value than ever before as we combine subs, dubs, simulcasts, library, music, movies, manga—all into one subscription. The new Crunchyroll is the realization of a dream, and we are grateful to the creators of anime and the millions of fans who have joined us in making the community what it is today.”
