Funimation Shut Down For Good

If any one of you grew up watching anime dubbed by Funimation, kiss that part of your childhood goodbye because they announced that their services will be shutting down since they will be merging with Crunchyroll.

If you didn’t own any physical copies of their anime and just had the digital ones on their streaming services, well, tough luck. This just proves that physical media matters and encourages more people to pirate the shows.

I hate Crunchyroll. Literally everything is stuck behind a preimum pay wall.

A few years ago I was watching Black Clover when it was free and was half way through the 3rd season than they locked it behind a paywall.


Also because of Crunchyroll Hulu had to wait till September of last year to get the newest season of Demon Slayer and I hope that doesn't happen this year.

Good riddance to those losers.

Luckily I own the full Death Note collection and most of DBZ Kai. I never needed their site.

Speaking of Crunchy Roll, anyone want to subject themselves to their cringe attempts to make original content?


And in case you're wondering, that other Aztec inspired show they made is better but still kinda crap. That one comes across like Avatar the Last Airbender with the same general tone that is fitting for a kids' show, expect for a bunch of extreme gore that feels out of place and just causes tonal whiplash.

Some prices of cars are outrageous. Opening them with a crowbar and stealing them on the streets is where it's at in order to drive for free. Car dealers can suck it. Hahaha!
