Payne is apparently active on the Japan Times comment section so that gives me a really good idea of who he is.

"I don't know the details but this guy is totally correct" is always a good sign that someone knows what they're talking about.

Yeah they just decided that the Crunchyroll branding was more important, which is still a weird decision to me

Endorph posted:crunchyroll is definitely more recognizable to people these days than funimation Yep. It was also the bigger platform of the two, so it just makes logistical sense to move the funimation stuff over there instead of the other way around.

Endorph posted:funi didnt really die because of some kind of 'decline' just sony merged two separate brands together Three, kinda. Australia had its own streaning service (AnimeLab) and distributor (Madman Entertainment, who owned AnimeLab), and those got rolled into Funimation and Crunchyroll sequentially. I still have my Animelab hoodie  .
