While it may not have the long lines or wonderfully-priced "dirty water dogs" of the old ways of "con-ing," FunimationCon is doing its best to still give anime fans all of the news and previews they expect Not looking to waste any time, Funimation announced Friday morning that it was partnering with VIZ Media to[...]

Okay, this time we're flipping things up and looking at five live shows that could make the move to anime: The Boys, Preacher, and more.

At a time when we're at home much longer than we expected, thankfully I had my comfort anime: Cardcaptor Sakura, Digimon, Ranma 1/2, and more.

Funimation has a great way to celebrate our return of a pirate's life with a new limited edition statue This statue is of Luffy's brother Portgas D Ace This Neo-Maximum Ver Portrait of Pirates statue comes in at 8.5 inches tall and features him in a very dynamic pose The Megahouse statue is sculpted and[...]

She was probably a major factor in the series' popularity to this day, with Netflix currently producing a live-action version starring John Cho.

Season 2 of the Fruits Basket anime is currently streaming on Funimation and Crunchyroll with new episodes every Monday The original manga series is available in twelve deluxe volumes titled Fruits Basket Collector's Edition published by Yen Press.

This episode proved much more of a balance between slice-of-life anime and shounen then what's led up to it – though even with the returns and revelations, it still feels as if we're building towards something. My Hero Academia / Funimation We start with a bit of big news: Eri has been discharged from the hospital –[...]

This slice-of-life feel was so reminiscent of anime I grew up with that I could not contain myself– I was and probably still am on full fan mode. Funimation [rwp_box id="0"] This episode starts exactly where it left off– Gentle Criminal, La Brava, and Deku are found by Hound Dog and Ectoplasm[...]

I have to say, if there is one thing this season has shown is how much Deku has grown along the years – and much of that this season. Bones/Funimation [rwp_box id="0"] While we get to see snippets of what is currently happening at U.A in the minutes before the School Festival commences, the episode centers around Deku[...]

It was a very sweet scene, watching Deku and Mirio escort her around school. Funimation [rwp_box id="0"] We get to see UA students we have met throughout the years and all the work they are putting into the School Festival I liked that we are also shown how the Police warns Principal Nezu of the dangers that lurk[...]

More proof of the love and respect they hold for one another. My Hero Academia / Funimation Once again, we take a little step back from Deku and get to enjoy the rest of the cast I loved the little details… especially how badly Deku and Aoyama seemed to be when it came to dancing[...]

My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising is now in theaters, and Sony Pictures have revealed a new dubbed trailer for the release of the film.

Ultimately, it's a very new challenge by getting the opportunity to utilize what they've learned without feeling like we're overloaded with characters. Funimation Films Some of the highlights include a massive conflict between one of the villains and Todoroki (& company) or an unforgettable partnership between Bakugo and Deku that will without a doubt go down as[...]

It seems we are about to see their creative side and it gets to show once again just how far Todoroki has come. MY HERO ACADEMIA / Funimation In the midst of the fun, we get to see snippets of a new villain trying to bring terror to the streets He goes by the name of Gentle[...]

The second came when the tournament's speakers were glossing over how much harder to reign in the quirks are after a few generations of mixing. Guessing this will come into play at some point… Funimation/ Studio Bones We then move on to the UA and Class 1-A Aoyama has been acting quite weird and has managed to creep[...]

That said… while I found it amusing, it was still a little too bland and felt longer than it actually was – not a good thing. MY HERO ACADEMIA – Funimation/ Bones One moment that really stuck for me syring this episode was All Might and Endeavor's exchange Endeavor confesses to All Might how – no matter[...]

I still think back to the episode leading into the fights when Deku broke down and Todoroki told him it was his belief that heroes have to cry every once in a while… how else would they deal with so much otherwise? Funimation/Bones There was a very sweet moment in which Deku blurted out he would give[...]

I love how he has taken to Deku in a very parental way. Funimation However, smiles are about to get cut short when we realize Sir Nighteye is near his end It was nice to see All Might there with him as his life began to fade His words to Deku made me teary – telling Deku[...]

Just thinking about this one I get excited. Netflix/Crunchyroll/Funimation/YouTube Before the masses descend upon me with fire and pitchforks, I am aware that speaking of live-action anime is taboo (insert bloody scream from the distance) However, I do believe that they could be fun if done well and I think there are some anime that lend[...]

It was fantastic to get to understand the real drive behind Kirishima's character and I really wish they did that for all other students in class 1-A… especially with Bakugo as I feel I do not truly understand the drive behind his anger quite yet. Funimation This episode of My Hero Academia started with Suneater fainting after[...]

Once again another episode packed with as much emotion as action. Funimation "Suneater of the Big Three" did amazingly well at developing Tamaki's character It was great and incredibly touching to finally see him get a chance to shine My heart could not handle the emotion—Tamaki is one of my favorite and most relatable characters[...]

We see Iida and Todorokin understand that he can probably not talk about it, so instead they start offering him food from their own plates. MY HERO ACADEMIA (Bones/Funimation) Another super effective story-telling device in this episode was the cuts between Point-of-Views We see Pro-Heroes working behind the scenes trying to pinpoint the location of Shie Hassaikai[...]

They have been doing a great job at showing how not being able to save Eri still weighs on them and at setting up a very somber tone around them. My Hero Academia / Funimation We then see all the Work Studies students gathered around in silence with Mirio and Deku; both of them struggling over having[...]
