FunimationReviews of funimation.com

If I could rate this any lower, I would. I was also a anime lab user, I used animelab because when I was first looking into the possible streaming services, funimation was the absolute lowest of the low and had no redeeming qualities whatsoever. When animelab was just absorbed into funimation without any of its superior features, I lost complete faith in the streaming service.

Poorly optimised, not intuitive and buggy as hell. Lacks rudimental features like bing able to skip intro's, will queue random shows up next and is extremely slow. They got rid of the Animelab app (which worked far more efficiently) for this??

I had better experience on pirating sites than on this platform. Where do I start.. I got a subscription where I pay 8,99 USD and get 3 Months Premium and let's just say that I would be better off spending that money to 9ani** as a donation than spending it to watch the anime legally. I mean WTH? They treat their customers like dogs, giving them some grocery store food and expecting them to love it. I never seen such an high amount of BS and censorship in my life. First off, their site looks worse than the online ordering homepage of my favorite fast food restaurant in my city. I found it had to navigate, the loading times (even with adblocker enabled) were terrible despite having stable 1Gbps download and 380mbps upload speeds. And it's not caused by my router. I was connected via Ethernet cable the whole time. Also a lot of the content was not available in my country. I had to use a private VPN server in order to access that content. The worst of all is that some anime seem to use different scripts for the dubbing. I'm not the best when it comes to Japanese language ( I can order stuff, introduce myself, rent something and somewhat speak with other people in Japan) but I can definitely say they're changing a lot of stuff in comparison to the original JP releases. If I wouldn't speak Japanese, I wouldn't notice that but since I do speak that language, I found it very irritating to listen to Funimations own English dubs which seem to be completely out of place. I guess they would also replace some of the lines if I would watch their releases in German, Italian, Bulgarian or Español languages. In the end it's been almost 3 months of having a subscription on their platform and today I'll cancel my subscription there. Never ever I'll visit them again. Even if they offer a subscription for 0.99$ per Month. In fact. I'm so upset that I will be switching back to not so official sites like 9ani** and watch everything there and also if I feel the need to, I'll be buying the physical anime from Amazon JP, rip them to my laptop and apply the fan subtitles on the free and open source program called VLC Player. When we're speaking about physical stuff. shop. funimation com is also very overpriced. I understand the costs for licensing etc. but on Amazon JP I can buy almost every DVD/BD/Collector Edition box way cheaper on Amazon than in their shop and I'll only pay 10$ extra for shipping to my country. In the end I can only say, if you value your money, get a VPN subscription at providers like IPVanish and watch the anime from the "unofficial" streaming platforms. If you don't mind the extra work when it comes to physical media, check for your local for 3rd party import sites or order them straight from Amazon Japan. For me, I had the best experience with nin-nin-game importer. Fast shipping and they even send the package to the hotel where I was staying at.

Would give 0 stars my account got stolen and I've sent my id my card used for the account and its previous email. still being charged and customer service has done nothing and has barely reponded.

Would rate 0 stars if I could. Bought out anime lab, then butchered it. New site that were forced to use is garbage.

The Animelab to Funimation switch is horrible. Most of the shows I watch are now subscriber only(they were previously free on Animelab with 1 ad at the start and a couple spread throughout). Now they force you to pay to any interesting shows

So they've been talking out funds for an account I don't have . When contacted they haven't even replied. Almost a year. Can't find out even how to cancel as I have no access to this account. Told them with no response.

My daughter has ordered something from the Funimation store. She placed it almost two weeks ago and it's in limbo somewhere. Funimation says that it has shipped on December 7th and USPS tracking is saying that the package will be updated once the package is delivered to USPS. It is now the 14th...I would suggest anyone ordering from the Funimation store to order now and maybe you will get it some time next year.
