Subscribers are anxiously awaiting news about the Funimation and Crunchyroll merger. Who acquired whom, and is Funimation shutting down? Let’s dive into the details.

Is Funimation shutting down after the Crunchyroll merger?

Yes, my dear friends, Funimation is indeed set to bid us farewell on April 2, 2024. But fear not, for its entire catalog will be integrated into Crunchyroll as part of this momentous merger.

Back in 2022, the official announcement came that anime streaming giant Funimation would join forces with Crunchyroll after being acquired by the latter. And now, as the date draws near, it has been confirmed that Funimation will cease to exist as a separate platform, with all of its content flowing gracefully into Crunchyroll’s vast streaming universe.

Is Crunchyroll shutting down?

No, not at all! In fact, Crunchyroll is thriving after acquiring Funimation. It’s like a beautiful marriage where both parties bring something valuable to the table. Crunchyroll will absorb all the data and content from Funimation, resulting in an even more impressive anime streaming experience.

Late in 2023, Crunchyroll made the tough decision to shut down its digital Manga app on mobile and web platforms. However, for anime streaming enthusiasts, Crunchyroll will now have an expansive library, thanks to the addition of Funimation’s data.

Now, here’s what you need to know if you’re a Funimation user. You have two options: either combine your existing Funimation account with your Crunchyroll account or bid farewell to your old Funimation account. Additionally, future subscriptions will be charged by Crunchyroll, following their pricing structure.

Regarding your purchased digital copies from Funimation, Crunchyroll currently does not support them. But fear not, my fellow otakus! Crunchyroll promises to continuously enhance their content offerings to provide you with an exceptional anime streaming experience. So please understand and explore the extensive anime library available on Crunchyroll.

As for the future, who knows? It’ll be exciting to see if Crunchyroll adds this service in the coming days.
