They're doing a whole lot of poo poo over in Japan for the series' anniversary, and it's just about everything except announcing a new goddamn anime.

Most of the actors even reprised their roles for a mobile game event a couple years ago so it’s not like they’re unavailable or anything (though Amelia sounds kind of rough these days in my opinion). I’m still hoping for a full revival of the series soon at least

So what has Wakanim done out of curiosity? This is the first I’ve ever heard of them

They're known for having the best video quality in anime streaming though they also hardcode their subtitles.

The other thing they're known for is being very litigious about piracy, which is why you don't see their rips uploaded anywhere point blank. Some fansubbers use their video by dehardsubbing them tho.

Do they have any shows that Crunchyroll doesn’t out of curiosity? If so, I wonder if there’s a chance we could get some English translations of their work out of this merger.

I POSTED WHAT NOW!?
I figured this is what would happen with the Funi/CR merger. CR as a name is way to big to give up and so rolling Funi into it made more sense. The Funimation name will live on as the BD/DVD arm of things.

They'll also probably still be producing a lot of the dubs.

Also it appears that Funimation will continue dubbing/subbing new shows so all that’s really changed now is where you can find them

It’s already been confirmed they’re doing a simuldub of the upcoming Kamen Rider W anime for example

They've always had English translations too. You generally don't see it because again region locked + no piracy.

This is their catalogue. The biggest thing that stands out to me that Crunchy doesn't in the US is Made in Abyss, but I don't know how that would work considering it's currently licensed to other services in America.

E: Oh, they also have the Heaven's Feel movies. I don't think those are on Crunchy.

I seem to recall some of Funimation’s stuff being on Crunchyroll before a few years back, nice to see it reinstated (no Slayers unfortunately though)

God drat, I was JUST about to check to see if Slayers was on Crunchyroll now.

I felt the anime adaptation might be a better version of books 3+4 (and a strong 1+2,) but past that I think the LNs are better. The second season of the show compressed a lot.

I feel like it kinda dragged its premise out a bit too much, though I still haven’t tried the second season. Does it do more to keep things fresh?

So it looks like the Funimation brand is going away entirely. Funimation Global Group LLC will operate as Crunchyroll LLC.

steaming services aren't really competing in a way that benefits consumers when they all have mutually exclusive libraries. anime streams competed in terms of grabbing seasonals, but for legal viewers that just meant rolling the odds on whether you needed one or two subs to watch what you wanted. basically all new anime distribution getting rolled under one company still isn't good, but it's basically just a different kind of bad imo

They've been owned by the same parent company for a while now, it wasn't really competition at this point tbh.
