Funimation’s Entire Anime Library Is Moving To Crunchyroll!
Published on March 2, 2022
Crunchyroll just made its biggest announcement ever! The ultimate anime site Funimation, which caters to millions of anime fans worldwide, is finally uniting with Crunchyroll on March 1, 2022. This move will include Funimation's subsidiary, Wakanim, and Crunchyroll's subsidiary, VRV, to create one subscription service under the Crunchyroll name for anime fans worldwide. Sony is in the process of merging its two anime streaming services, with Crunchyroll subscribers being given access to Funimation's library and simulcast content.
The merger is a viable move for the companies and fans, for it means that all our favorite anime series and movies will now be available on one platform. Starting today, tons of shows and movies from Funimation and Wakanim will begin arriving on Crunchyroll, meaning fans will get more dubs, more subs, and more content than they could imagine!
Speaking about the union, Crunchyroll CEO Colin Decker said in a statement, "When we brought Funimation and Crunchyroll together last year, our top priority was to put fans first. 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."
