Ordered several items during one of their sales and it took them weeks to actually ship the items. Items were not shipped as described and several items were missing from the purchase. Upon contacting them via email it took over a week to respond and almost another week for them to refund with zero apologies. I would not recommend.

The content is good, the quality of the video and audio are also very good. The website itself is a hot dumpster fire and feels like someone with half a diploma in website design put it together. The video overlay almost never works to go to next episode or skip forward, and doesn't go away on it's own in full-screen mode (I had to download a third party extension just so I could push 'Z' to make it go away when viewing content). I constantly get logged out for no reason, it never defaults to 1080p and always plays at the lowest quality EVEN THOUGH I went into my account settings and set the default to the highest quality, and it always changes the default language to English EVEN THOUGH I set the default language to Japanese. To top it all off, I have a paid subscription to use a website that works half as well as a site I could stream anime illegally on. If I didn't have a conscience and want to watch anime in HD, I would jump to a bootleg streaming service in a heartbeat. Funimation, please take notes from Crunchyroll please, and learn how to make a seamless website that lives up to the content that you provide.

This is a horrible website/app. Utterly atrocious and exploitive in it's measures of using ads. I will be watching an anime after spending 5 minutes to clear out every single ad on ONE SINGLE VIDEO, only for the anime to "crash" with a "playback error"... EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN STILL SEE IT PLAYING JUST FINE IN THE BACKGROUND. It forces you to then quit out and watch all the ads again for the same video. This is a horrible and downright disgusting website. They may have good video quality, but that doesn't even come close to making up for the scummy measures they take to get as much ad revenue as they can. I literally hate the products they show on their ads now. They show the same ad for 5-10 minutes straight, and do that for every other or back to back episodes. I now won't be ordering from Domino's for a long time, never will buy Harry's Razer's products, and will most certainly avoid anything else they show like that. How can advertisers even be okay with their methods? This is almost a guaranteed way to make people hate your product for no reason other than a greedy company using your advertisement to be spammed on their website for other's to be tortured to. It just doesn't make any sense to me.

Content would be great if you could actually a. Get it to load at all b. Not get stuck in an endless buffer or c. Not have the damn app crash immediately. I have fiber optic Internet and never had issues with any other service. Crunchy roll , Netflix, Hulu and Amazon work perfectly. They just updated their UI only having the same ongoing issues. Avoid them if you can.

Trash. Absolute garbage. Even paid for this website is garbage. I can't watch the next episode without going back to the season page and manually selecting the next episode. It's a streaming service in 2021 that can't just autoplay the next episode. On top of that I need to reset the audio and subtitles settings each episode I watch. If the show you want to watch is available literally anywhere else, Watch it there.

The ads are too much it and they play over the episodes it doesn’t even stop it the ad plays but it doesn’t stop the episode and it misses like 5 min of what happened

No. Just no. Honestly, every anime starts out free, but then of course after a few episodes it turns into premium. I don't like this, it's basically saying "Ok here start the anime, and now you have to pay for it!" I get it, Funimation wants to get money, but shoving 'get premium so you could watch the rest of this anime' in someones face is just painful and a bit too much. Then of course it's also the way you reset your password. The email takes more than 15, and normally it doesn't work. I'm sticking with other apps and I honestly regret trying to use Funimation. I don't recommend the app.

Ads every 5 seconds, some animes only have clips and extras instead of the actual videos, sometimes the anime i actually am watching just stops and i have to skip 5-10 minutes, if it lets me watch past that point at all. Not sure if this is just a personal issue, but it has dub, so it works.
