FunimationNow Introduces New 3-Tiered Membership System: What You Need to Know
Members of FunimationNow will have some choices to make come April 10, because that's when Funimation's streaming service rolls out its new tiered membership programs – replacing the current subscription program and add-on options. Starting in April, subscribers can choose from three membership tiers: Premium, Premium Plus, and Premium Plus Ultra (new tiers will be available in the U.S. and Canada only).
All three tiers offer ad-free, HD access to FunimationNow's entire library of subbed and dubbed anime from current and catalog shows, including titles like Dragon Ball Super, Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia, Cowboy Bebop, Fairy Tail, One Piece, and more. On April 9, current Premium subscribers will be rolled over into the Premium Plus tier but kept at their current $5.99 per month rate for as long as membership is kept current – a savings of $2 per month.
Premium Tier ($5.99 per month / $59.99 annual membership)
● Membership comes with two simultaneous user streams for limited sharing.
Premium Plus Tier ($7.99 per month / $79.99 annual membership)
● Membership comes with up to five (5) simultaneous user streams for limited sharing.
● Access to the Download-to-Go feature, which lets you download episodes to your Android or iOS phone or tablet to watch anime later without internet access.
● Access to special member-only events in member's area
● Funimation Shop benefits: periodic special offers, early access to select online sales, and free shipping on orders over $20.
Premium Plus Ultra Tier ($99.99 annual membership)
● Membership comes with up to five (5) simultaneous user streams for limited sharing.
● Access to the Download-to-Go feature, which lets you download episodes to your Android or iOS phone or tablet to watch anime later without internet access.

● Annual gift on membership anniversary

FunimationNow will continue to offer a free (basic) subscription, and current account settings/preferences will not be impacted by the switch over – including Queue, My Library, and WishList. Some members need to update the FunimationNow app for their Android or iOS device after the changeover on April 10th.
