FunimationReviews of funimation.com

I was excited to try my 3 month offer through the PS5. Unfortunately the Promo Code wouldn't work on the website ( First Red Flag ) I contacted Support & was responded to by a Natasha E. Within 24 hours ( The only positive in this review ) Natasha asked for the Error message i received and my post code. I sent this through & waited 4 business days without a response.... I contact support again & Natasha E emails me back saying she had a few days off..... ( Ridiculous that my ticket was left open that long & wasn't passed onto another agent.... ) She claims im using the form wrong & selecting Paypal instead of credit card. I advise her of her mistake & she replies saying i need to pay for Funimation then she's happy to activate my 3 month offer code! Only after iv paid for the first month.... No acknowledgement of the error on the website whatsoever. Simply pay for a subscription & i'll help you. I thought the whole point of a FREE 3 month trial was so you could do just that trial the product. What awful customer service & a dud scam product. AVOID

It is the worst video player that I had to experience. - the button to go to the next episode doesn't work 90% of the time, - there is no keyboard shortcut to fast forward the video, - the site is so slow, loading a video takes seconds.

Quite simply put, this goes beyond them having a terrible streaming service. Funimation is notorious for their underhanded business tactics, from obtaining exclusivity rights so that you have to use their site or pirate a series. To changing the credits of a series to only feature the English dub voice actors, even removing the names of the directors, writers, and animators, and replacing them with people who did nothing at all production wise. For example look up their dubbed movies on Amazon or Vudu, they literally will remove all credits outside of the English dub cast, guess the people who made it don't deserve credit in Funimation's eyes. My Hero Acedamia: Heroes Rising says some random lady at Funimation directed it, not Kenji Nagasaki. You recorded a dub, you did not make the damn anime itself! It has gotten so bad, that people who work in the anime/manga industry have even spoken out against them online, urging fans to watch their content elsewhere. Not to mention their idiotic stance on nudity and sexual content, they removed Interspecies Reviewers, despite the fact that they have Azur Lane uncensored on their site. Which is basically just loli fan-service, including an uncensored bath scene full of nudity. Funimation takes advantage of the anime industry for profit and pretends to be all high and mighty. The anime/manga industry would be much better off without this shady company involved.

Not worth the money. The streaming is so bad it doesn't load like it should ever. I can watch half an episode then it says not connected. The customer serive staff did not care when I called and didn't help me at all. They were very rude, so I called corporate and I never got a response or anything. Very very bad

I've had smoother streaming on free sites, the fact that I paid for this clunky website is sad to me, the PlayStation app barely works, the normal app is poorly made and its just not up to the standard of its competition-people pay for this and its your job to give them good service and these apps feel like no one's updated them in ten years. Sad that they seem to just ignore the constructive criticism because they could be so much better.

I don't like writing bad reviews like this but I am doing this now in hopes that Funimation actually improves their platform. Other anime streaming websites provide much better service and UI and they're free. I couldn't even get through my 2 week trial it was so bad. I'm using Funimation from Canada. It's very inconvenient that I have to switch my language settings at EVERY video. More often than not I get an error message saying that the video isn't available in my territory, as the sound continues to play? Very strange. And finally, if I do end up finishing an episode, I have to go back to the main episode menu to go to the next episode because their forward button doesn't work and there isn't an episode list in the streaming window. It just absolutely baffles me that this paid service is staggeringly worse than any free anime streaming service I've ever used. Funimation, you seriously need to reconsider where you're allocating your money and staff. Because right now, your platform isn't even worth using if it were free.

Navigation on their website and slow and full of glitch. The skip button is also glitchy. It's an aweful experience to use their service.

The way they do things is horrible and complete garbage, paying a subscription just for it to say you don't have it is basically saying you just got scammed. This has happened to me over a dozen times at this point and they say there is no permanent fix, like hell there isn't. No website ever had this problem except this website and that is pathetic on so many levels. Headache to use and horrible costumer service, so don't recommend going there if your looking for a nice experience or planning to binge watch a show.
