Casualties afoot as Sony merges Funimation with 2021-acquired Crunchyroll.

Funimation, a Sony-owned streaming service for anime, recently announced that subscribers’ digital libraries on the platform will be unavailable after April 2. For years, Funimation had been telling subscribers that they could keep streaming these digital copies of purchased movies and shows, but qualifying it: “forever, but there are some restrictions.”

    I’m not a FUNimation subscriber but I hope that the people who are take Sony to court
