Firaga 5,947 Posted September 8, 2016 Source To summarize what this means for those who'd rather read this in layman's terms: Crunchyroll is going to to stream subbed titles that Funi owns, and Funi is going to dub titles that CR owns. And of course, more DVD releases. It's an exciting time to be an anime fan. If you can afford all this fancy shit, that is. 1 The Transcendent Key reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hero of Light XIV 2,381 Posted September 8, 2016 Wouldn't that be like, almost half of current anime? Oh lordy, I'm not sure if my body is ready for that... o3o""" 1 Firaga reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firaga 5,947 Posted September 8, 2016 (edited) Wouldn't that be like, almost half of current anime? Oh lordy, I'm not sure if my body is ready for that... o3o""" Pretty much. I mean, the only other big anime distributor I know sans the ones who just do DVD deals is Viz Media's Neon Alley, so yeah, that's a lot of content. And even then, some of their own titles can be found through Funi and CR too. Edited September 8, 2016 by Firaga Sensei Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaneki Ken 1,516 Posted September 8, 2016 Let see if I get this right. If I want to watch anime straight out from Japan in Sub, I go to Crunchyroll. If I want to watch anime in English dub, I go to Funimation. Whatever anime Crunchyroll grabs will be dubbed by Funimation. DVDs and content are done by Funimation, and Crunchyroll provides Streaming services. ALL THAT. . . for one yearly price of 59.99? I can give up a brand new video game. 1 Firaga reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hero of Light XIV 2,381 Posted September 9, 2016 Now if only they had the licenses to redub some 4Kids dubbed series... 1 Firaga reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Transcendent Key 12,109 Posted September 9, 2016 Oh wow, so this is big for the anime industry! A buttload of anime shall get Dubbed! Score! (Yeah, I prefer Dub better than Sub, but that's just my personal taste, ya know?) So this means that any anime that comes out in the future is bound to get a Dub sooner or later because of this partnership! Wow, if anime was already popular, it'll probably get even more popular now! 1 Firaga reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kyouma-Blade 90 Posted September 10, 2016 Thank god, Funimation's subs were awful, typesetting wise. On the other hand though, this may become more of a monopoly for the american anime industry. Companies like Daisuki and Sentai Filmworks will definitely have less of a presence because of this. Don't particularly care either way, since I end up downloading my anime anyways.
