I love Crunchyroll, but their virtual monopoly with streaming was getting scary. Hopefully next season HIDIVE gets around 10 simulcasts and Funimation gets 15-17. Competition is a good thing.

That may work for you, but not for those of us who live in a country where funimation doesn't work. This season, except for dororo, date a live 3 and kakegurui, crunchyroll has all the series I'm following (including some sentai filmworks titles, thanks to their partnership), so for me it's a good thing they have a lot of titles, and I hope CR involves in more production committees so they can bring more series.


FUNimation will start to expand to different countries. For example Fruits Basket will be brought to lots of different countries by FUNimation. It was the main reason they ended the partnership with CT.

Also Sony buying Funimation is scarier in my opinion. Sony has been going on a censorship rampage lately, especially with anime related products.[/quote]

You do know that only PlayStation that is censoring Anime games that has underage character. Sony Interactive Entertainment(PlayStation) and Sony Pictures Entertainment(Funimation) does have nothing to do with each other.

I just hope all this drama doesn't have a domino effect on AnimeLab here in Australia.

If anything, Aniplex buying the anime side of Madman could have more of an impact on AnimeLab than the CR/Funi split.

Yet I kept hearing for months about how Crunchyroll supposedly censored SAO even though they actually didn't so it seems like no streaming platform can ever win with some anime fans regardless even if the complaints aren't rooted in facts. There are a lot of legitimate concerns about what Sony buying Funimation means for the anime industry but I don't get why censorship has become this boogeyman for anime fans in the post 4Kids era.

The first two seasons of Overlord and A Certain Magical Index have also expired on Crunchyroll.

Those were already removed as part of the first big removal wave after crunchy announced the break up.

I already am paying for 3 of the anime streaming services (Funimation, Crunchyroll, HIDIVE) because not everything is on one streaming service. As for watching anime on Netflix or Amazon Prime, that is being shared with the rest of our family. Also, to be able to subscribe to the big 3 makes me proud as an anime fan in Canada.

Source on that last sentence - https://www.newsweek.com/funimation-crunchyroll-split-reason-why-1258066

Have Fruits Basket territories been announced? I've been hoping to see them list more than their usual.

I know by "they" you meant CR, but those aren't Funimation shows, so there's no related danger to them.

CR have been producing their own dubs recently (the most currently notable being Shield Hero)... pissing off some of their sub-only subscribers. Rolling Eyes (I'm not telling you to use CR, I just wanted to say that because it's funny)

List of some dubs they've produced (rather than licensed from others):
https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2018/11/09/got-dubs-crunchyroll-boosts-english-dub-library-with-crunchyroll-dubs

Laughably naive puff piece for the new Konosuba dub:
https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2019/02/18/konosubas-dub-is-the-one-sub-purists-have-been-waiting-for

They've also added non-English dubs for a few shows, but there's no way to watch them with English subs. I'd love to watch their Russian dubs because I love the sound of the language, but they're region-locked as well as not having English subs.

Damn this sucks.. However this nothing compared to what will happen when Dragon Ball Super is pulled from Crunchy Roll.

No territories have been announced yet, but FUNimation uploaded videos with spanish, french, german and italian subs on their Youtube channel.
