Going to guess that CR will get Ace Attorney, Bakuon!!, and Maogyia soon. Expecting Funimation to make their announcements later this week. Really surprised that CR got Bungou Stray Dogs though.  |
Funimation has a lot of titles this season Boku no Hero, Boku no Hero, Boku no...hero...... |
Still quite a few titles missing |
Finally! Funimation is dying out!!!!! |
Lmao @ FUCKETERYmation I hope they'll go bankrupt soon  Nico- said: @Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite Salman bin Abdul Aziz said: @Comic_Sans I hate to insult you on forums but you are just a troll so just go kill yourself already bitch |
I'm not a big fan of Funimation's subs, though I do like their products. Funi will announce more stuff soon, but so far they only got BnHA :/  |
Well Funimation is probably preoccupied with launching FunimationNow(they said it would come in feb it didnt, they said March and it again didn't) |
Awesome to see FUNi blowing all their budget on a single show, keep up the good work. Now hopefully CR steps up and doesn't release FUNi-tier subs because they are overloaded. At least the video quality will be better at any rate. Still quite a few shows to look forward to that aren't here though.  |
Crunchyroll will also stream Uchuu Patrol Luluco. |
Daisuki have also got season 2 of Concrete Revolutio https://twitter.com/daisuki_net/status/715441924073598976 -- Funimation are also working on their new streaming platform, meaning: - They really can't be described as dying out - They probably diverted some funds that could have been spent on simulcasts onto that instead. On the other hand they could also still have more to announce. Weekly light novel releases (from 20/10/2014) Monthly light novel sales ranks (from Jan 2015) Bestselling light novel volumes of the year/all time* (and more in the same club). *that there is data for There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
Lolz funimation is getting rekt this season. This is gud.  |
Funi got the hottest show this season y'all tripping.  |
Amen to that. Funi ain't got shit on CR. |
And with this we can conclude that CR is pretty much using Funi as a punching bag  A cuddle a day keeps the pouting away~ Hit me up if you want someone to flirt with for a bit ^^ "Holding hands is just the first step to getting pregnant"  |

They were probably desperate to keep the hype western show of the year away from viz, they were salty they didn't get OPM last year..... |

chrisbj said: Dunno if we can go THAT far, I mean there are still shows like Gundam and Jojo in there which always sell like hotcakes. Plus the sheer quantity of series adds up. But yeah of course Boku no Hero Acadamia will do wonders on its own, no one is disputing thatHaXXspetten said: And with this we can conclude that CR is pretty much using Funi as a punching bag I'm positive the revenue stream for HeroAca will shit on everything CR has this season combined....

Ahaha, nice one, Funimation fanboy. I'm glad to see that Crunchy are getting most of the hot shows and that Funi are getting the scraps.  :3 |

The question is how many will go to CR because of the sheer lack of FUNi shows and how many care enough about Boku no Hero to sub to FUNi just for it. |
Yo Snow, don't forget that Amazon Prime has Kabaneri this season |
Pretty much gotta echo all you guys have said. @Snow thank you so much for your post. CR, just get Mayoiga and I will be set! "Fuck this shit, fun things are fun!"  |
lol at funimation Apparently Amazon wanted Boku no Hero too so Funi just paid a lot of money on it. |
Awesome, pretty much everything I wanted to watch is on CR this season. Sucks for Funimation. (´･ω･`) (゜Д゜) (•̪┌┐•̪) ♥ |
holy crap Crunchyroll actually picked up 2/3 of all my anime this season hundred Gakusen Toshi Asterisk 2nd Season come on crunchyroll pick up Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta? |
XD Funi only for Boku no Hero Academia. Well they aren't that bad but their subs... are pretty fucking late.  |
nah they just haven't announced anything yet, what CR listed is most likely pretty much all they're gonna get I'm assuming Funi will get Sakamoto, Kuromukuro, Seisen Cerberus, Flying Witch, Big Order, and Kumamiko. They're probably going to share some licenses as well (similar to how they did with Erased), like Bungou Stray Dogs since it's Bones. Funimation seems more likely to get Ace Attorney to me, and will probably be better since they might simuldub it. Dab1za9 said: Apparently Amazon wanted Boku no Hero too so Funi just paid a lot of money on it. You have it backwards, Amazon paid alot for Kabaneri so no one else could have it  |
Shouldn't the UK and Ireland also be counted for My Hero Academia with FUNimation, while the service isn't up yet (was planned for a March launch) they do plan on streaming it there. |
Most likely due to blowing their budget on Dimension W + Boku No hero (Rights for the streaming of boku)  |
Tyrel said: Probably true but in general Funi has a bet rep and they probably arent profiting as much as they want to when they take all these shows. Most likely due to blowing their budget on Dimension W + Boku No hero (Rights for the streaming of boku) There are too many alternatives and CR is the only streaming service actually worth the money due to multiple platform integration as well as timely subs. |
moodie said: Yeah, FUNi does have a bad rep. They're just digging themselves a hole tbh. I'm glad CR is getting everything as FUNi always finds ways to screw things over one way or another and I can trust CR more so even though they sometimes make terrible translations. FUNi used to take in a few shows each season, now they take in a bunch of shows and I doubt that did them anything. More shows =/= more money for 'em when they put only a few quality releases.

Sakamoto was taken by Sentai and the other titles left that aren't yet picked up don't really seem like something they'd go after, nor do they seem like something that would be incredibly successful. The only thing they'd probably get shared with CR is Aniplex shows, but that's only a maybe. CR is kicking their ass this time around and CR is far from over with announcing stuff. The season starts tomorrow and still all they have is BNHA. “Victor can’t be satisfied by anyone but me.”  |

The season starts tomorrow and still all they have is BNHA. Forgot about Sakamoto, I heard about it being licensed, but didn't see it listed under crunchyroll even though it definitely will. Big Order definitely seems like their territory though, as it's by the creator of Mirai Nikki (which funi previously licensed) I'm assuming it will be popular this season. And Seisen Cerberus is the token edgy mobile game adaptation which are always popular in the west. Maybe not Kumamiko, but Kurumukuro doesn't seem that far off for them, P.A. Works projects don't exclusively end up on CR similar to how they got Haruchika last season. I think people are overestimating how badly they're doing financially, they're by far the most successful anime licensing company in the west, I don't think investing in one relatively unsuccessful anime will bankrupt them. |
Wow, where did all this funimation hate come from. I think Funi is banking big on BNHA being the breakout hit this year, and spent the entire spring budget on that license. 2012: SAO 2013:AoT 2014: Tokyo Ghoul 2015: One Punch Man Rumor has it they were trying really hard to get One Punch Man last year, but Viz swooped it up instead. |

Sailor Moon confirmed to CR https://mobile.twitter.com/Crunchyroll/status/715711704777117697 |
The hate for Funimation is unbelievable. |
Still waiting for Boku no Hero Academia... sup |

It's still called "Simulcast"? or Simultaneous Broadcast? C'mon. It's 2016 already. And still misusing the word? Anyway, I hope all the good shows gets license so we would have a good Spring Season. Haters always gonna hate. |
No one has mayoiga yet? It's supposed to air today |
Only really hyped about Ushio to Tora S2. Time to watch old shit this season I guess. Also surprised nobody's picked up Gyakuten Saiban since the games are pretty popular.  |
F*ck funi I hope a decent fansub group do Boku no Hero Academia eng subs. I will not watch anything from funi |
I'm so happy right now. http://www.funimation.com/p/spring Well, they did get Kumamiko, which I wanted to check out, but fansubs exist. :3 |
I'll wait to more news. I am waiting for simulcast 12 Sai and Sakamoto desu ga. By this time, I am happy that Crunchyroll bring again Sailor Moon. |
Crunchyroll has got Gyakuten Saiban. Worldwide excluding Asia. http://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtopic-942725/spring-2016-show-announcements |

Ugh, that actually annoys me a bit. I'm too used to the English names, I was hoping Funimation would get it since they do better dubs. So that's not happening. |
I think that FUNIMATION will get Big Order. They just haven't announced it yet, because it is one of the last shows to premere this season. |
