The streaming service is just about broken. Not only are the ads extremely long on the free version, but sometimes it will play the same ad 4-5 times in a row. When the ads are over, the service takes 30-60 seconds to load the next segment. So not only are the ads long, but then you just sit and wait on an empty screen for it to load. The streaming site is buggy and laggy on ps4. I wouldn't recommend it.

I order a Figure the last one after i…
I order a Figure from them and its last one I'll order from them. The figure I order was in stock, got my package and it wasn't the figure I order I got an All Might! I didn't order a All Might. Went to look at the figure I wanted at the shop and It was sold out!! Talked to customer service and didn't resolve anything!! they send me something i didn't order!!! something different!

I'm a bit surprised at the negative reviews
I've been using Funimation for a little while now, and I've had no issues. I'm watching on my TV using the Roku app and things have run smoothly. I've seen a few complaints about not liking their shows, but that is subjective and people can actually browse the titles before signing up. They are not a one stop shop for anime as some other companies may have exclusive license agreements on some shows. Again, my experience has been generally positive. No real problems to speak of. They offer a free trial, so if it doesn't live up to your expectations, cancel before the trial is over.

Content creators deserver better than this unstable mess, Funimation, on so many levels
Great content, with a grotesquely incompetent webapp.
- After watching a vid, the auto-play UI overlay reports in a few seconds the next video will play: NOPE
-- there's a count down, then nothing happens
-- there are media control buttons, which do nothing!
-- there's a SYSTEM to keep track of the last video seen, which ALWAYS LAGS BEHIND!
- Then, today after watching nearly an entire series this GARBAGE SERVICE BURPS UP,
Sorry, but this content isn’t available in your country.
... when I KNOW the content is licensed in the USA, and I've never used a VPN to fake my location ever.
SONY just SUCKS at IT.
So many fun stories presented with talented voice-work, ALL impaired by Sony's inability to handle a web-app in 2021.
I'll now go try and play the video I want to see using a Roku:
Hmm.. Episode 29 "Prelude to the Disaster" plays just fine on Roku in the USA.
The GARBAGE web app that is Funimation has been incompetent for a LONG TIME.
What an embarrassing platform, extracting the talents of people who work far too hard to participate in a an effort they loved when they were young, only to lazily PRESENT this GARBAGE artifice as the platform, when (you didn't need to be creative, just competent) you couldn't even meet basic business objectives in a creative industry... and still are paid MORE than those who made your job possible.

Overcharged and wont refund
had funimation for 9 months before I noticed on my bank statement that funimation was charging me $5.99 extra to my funimation plus every month. I contacted customer support about this and Im getting ignored now and they feel no need to resolve this issue. its criminal

It would be 5 stars
It would be 5 stars. If the when I clicked next episode it change the episode. If when I clocked to listen in English it didn't randomly switch to Japanese halfway through. If when I clicked pause it didn't take 7 tries. Honestly fix it.

just buggy and broken
just buggy and broken, doesn't remember language or quality or version you set. Playing next episode is broken, both autoplay and the button. Honestly torrenting is a better experience than this. Also glitched out and gave me spoliers from multiple episodes, by randomly skipping ahead this is on desktop and by casting.
