Anime fans heard the rumblings back in 2021 that powerhouses Funimation and Crunchyroll would be joining forces to offer an epically impressive unified streaming service. Well, some huge news rolled out this morning with confirmation that Funimation and its millions of anime fans will be joining under a unified Crunchyroll brand (including Funimation subsidiary Wakanim & C-roll's VRV) to create a one-subscription service for our anime fans worldwide. That means as of today, Crunchyroll is the home to My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, Fruits Basket, ODDTAXI, Tokyo Revengers, Naruto Shippuden, and a ton of more- all under one roof. That means moving forward, all new anime will stream only stream there (with Funimation only adding new episodes of continuing series) which means it's time to start moving those accounts.
