Funimation Global Group Content Moves To Crunchyroll

Existing and new Crunchyroll subscribers will have access to library and simulcast content previously exclusive to Funimation. This move makes good on the promise to fans that the merger of Funimation and Crunchyroll would bring together the previously separate services into a single subscription. Crunchyroll’s pricing remains unchanged, offering fans anime subs, dubs, films and simulcast series in more than 200 countries and territories and in 10 languages.

“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.”

As of today, 40,000-plus sub and dub episodes are available on Crunchyroll for fans to enjoy, with more hitting the service daily over the next few weeks ahead. All new series from the upcoming Spring season — the biggest on record to be announced soon – will stream only on Crunchyroll; Funimation will continue to add new episodes of current series.

In addition to consolidation of SVOD services, Sony-owned Funimation Global Group will now operate as Crunchyroll and has begun rebranding across its global footprint.
