FunimationReviews of funimation.com

I can not understand why I started with this website to watch anime, because I loved it at the start but everything is breaking each day.

As an online service, I actually quite like Funimation. It’s a good service for watching lesser known and bigger anime and smaller simulcasts. However, I mainly bought the subscription for it’s download ability. This is by far the worst I’ve seen. It lags, it’s subtitles, audio, and video haven’t been matched up more than a few times in my years of using it, and their often painfully slow to download episodes with them also having download size of a couple megabits. If you want a online service, for its price, I believe it’s worth it. For its offline, I wouldn’t confidently suggest it to anyone.

I’m a premium member because I hate ads that much. I’ve been watching Funimation on Amazon Firestick for a few months now and for the most part, I’m okay with it, but there are some things I would love for the service to improve upon. 1. To create a section for English dubbed anime. Or at least create something that makes it easier to find. I find it so annoying and time consuming having to go through every video just to find a show has no English audio. Even more annoying, to find after 3-4 episodes the language switches to Japanese. I am not a fan of reading subtitles, especially if the genre is action. 2. I recently found out that not every show will auto play. You might wanna check that out. 3. The app crashes and logs me out, but this doesn’t happen all the time. It’s just when it happens it’s really annoying. 4. Can we please have a skip button! Cos, OOoommmGggg!!! Listening to the same theme song at the begging and the end really does my head in. It’s totally fine if the song is soft and rhythmic, but that rock and roll gives me a migraine. This is why I prefer to watch Netflix. No need to keep forwarding. And that’s it. Hope you guys can figure out a way to solve these issues.

I find the entire thing to be a buggy mess, when I get the anime to work and the UI to go away, its really good, Username changes need to be fixed, as I want to comment on an anime but I need to set a username, so I go to go do that and it just doesn't let me save, and when it does work it doesn't register when I try to go back to the anime to comment/review, also there's an issue with the UI where sometimes I have to reload many times just for it to go away. I also heard people are having issues with paying, buts ill be going onto my second month of having it soon and I'm having no issues so far. but if you look past all the issues, then it's not that bad

Funimation is a good streaming service when it comes to the shows they offer and their website layout, (although a skip intro button would be nice) in fact they are very good when it comes to simuldubbing shows every week and their forums are usually quite helpful. My issue with funimation only applies to people in Europe simply because the servers here are so poor, I dont know whether it is because the servers they use for European subscribers are based in America or the servers are simply bad but the videos often buffer and won't continue playing without having been restarted or sometimes I cant even get the video to play at all. This can obviously be very frustrating especially considering it is a paid service. Even with the bad servers though, people who live in Europe still really dont have much choice but to buy funimations service simply because there is no where else to watch the anime funimation offers. And I would also reccomend purchasing a vpn if you live in Europe because the funimation used in America has significantly more shows which you will probably want to see such as the Dragon Ball z and super series, Cowboy Bebop and many others. I use Nord Vpn personally. In other words funimation just needs better servers for people in the EU.
