Funimation

So I got this app last year and I decided to look at the reviews and rate the app and people were saying that there are adds but I don’t get any. I think this app should have a better rating but there are some things. 1. Some animes aren’t finished on Funimation and some are premium but it said that with premium you could watch new episodes after being broadcasted in Japan. So I didn’t get premium just for that. 2. I love the app (ik I keep saying that) but I feel that you could put more animes on this app so it would be better. Also I’m a kid writing this review but pls put why the age ratings are what they are because I was watching “The future diary” and it showed breast naked and the age rating was 14. I watched anime on Netflix before and when the shows said nudity I would search up why and watch it if it was ok. I’ve watched aot and kakegurui before but those are just some examples of the animes I’ve watched that said they had nudity. Usually the nudity would be just like butts or partly covered breast. I know it’s not that big of a deal but it upsets some people like kids like me and parents or just anybody. Those are some things that i think you could do for this app and the people that use this app. But all summed up I think this is a good app. Thank you for reading this rating/review :)

My first review, over a year ago, was one of the most strict and brutal reviews I’ve ever written. The app was truly bad and the overall service sub par. After the update and reformatting, things have been over 9,000 times better. It’s much easier to use, the layout is more friendly. And they probably added more servers. Idk. Seems faster. Thankfully they decided to change it for their customers. 3 things though. 1 It would have been nice to know that there was an update on the way. Seeing as how it might have taken awhile to make. Knowing it ahead of time would have made being patient easier. 2 They say you can stream multiple devices, but if that’s true why not add multiple profiles so that my wife can watch her stuff and I can watch mine. If we are on the same show at different times it’s makes it difficult to pick up where I left easy. I’m feel that it wouldn’t be terribly hard to do that but I don’t format or program, so idk 3 if you are watching a show and want to continue where you left off I wish that clicking the show would take you to the details instead of playing. It sounds counter intuitive but that’s because when someone else is watching. The same show and I want to check what episode is up I gotta go find the show.

Mixed batch of shows. They have shows/movies others don't, but will also only have 1 season of shows that have 4. Having a lot of connection issues that I'm not experiencing on other apps. It also doesn't tell you what closed captions are for shows so you might find some that won't be available in your language despite having a preferred language setting.

The user interface is poor at best and completely broken at worst. I have issues with speed and connection even using a LAN connection and good internet speeds. This problem makes about half their library unavailable at any time and doesn't have any rhyme or reason for their failures. The download is slow and updates seem non-existent. After they bought VRV I hoped they would build off of VRV's perfectly good app and brand it funimation, but they took it the other way. New series they've recently gotten the rights to that are touted as great additions; I would agree they are great additions to their library, but none of them are actually available for me to watch, it just says come back and try later. Broken system without hope for anything better since there is now a semi-monopoly on the anime streaming game by Sony and their terrible app. If there was ANY alternative to Funimation's app on phone/tv/computer I would even pay them an extra couple dollars to fix their problems, but I wouldn't trust Sony at their word for all the (insert valuable item here) with respect to fixing problems. Funimation has sucked for years, now it is getting much, much worse. I expect not to be able to watch any of their new acquisitions this year, maybe they'll fix it by 2023?

I enjoy Funimation and it’s wide variety of anime although there are a few problems. First of all I don’t see a casting button on the new version of the app. I remember seeing one previously so it’s quite annoying that I can’t find it anymore in the newer version of the app. Another problem is the ads. I understand you need to make money but the ads don’t stay consistent. Whenever you try to watch an anime normally you get one ad before you begin to watch although sometimes you’ll get all five. And although it’s bothersome to sit through five ads that is not really a problem for me. One of my biggest problems is when I’m trying to watch this one dubbed anime (My Roommate is a Cat) the subtitles are turned on. I’m not a big fan of unnecessary subtitles so I turn them off but then I have to watch another five ads after turning off the subtitles. And every single time I stop watching and go back to that anime the subtitles are turned back on. I hope you can fix this issue or make the ads less. Because it is very bothersome to sit through five ads back to back just because I don’t want to watch an anime that I can understand the language of (English) with subtitles that the app puts on the show manually. Thank you for reading this and have a lovely day/night.

This app used to be great. I'm hit and miss on when I use it. Lately the app just keeps freezing on my phone and roku. Now it won't even let me in before it starts freezing. To be clear, it's not a log in issue, just a freezing one. All I get are the loading blocks across the screen. If I keep at it, it will eventually let me in, but will never play anything. More loading blocks, then says an error has occurred. Please fix this or cancel my account. No sense in paying for something I can't use.

I remember trying to watch something on this app years ago and giving up not even halfway through the first episode because I was frustrated with the UI. The UI has most certainly gotten better but now a different issue frustrated me and made me stop watching not even halfway through episode 1. Look I understand if you want to watch stuff for free you gotta put up with ads. I am broke and am usually fully willing to put up with ad-breaks if it means I can watch stuff for free. But I feel like this app takes it to the next level. It felt like every 5 minutes I’d be hit with a 6 ad ad-break. Maybe I’d be able to put up with it if it was 6 ads every 10 minutes or 2 ads every 5 minutes. The thing that really annoyed me was that the ads were literally the same exact ad playing 6 times every ad-break. Hearing the same ad on loop got on my nerves and annoyed me so much I had to stop watching. There was even one point where an ad played OVER the audio for the show without pausing the show and when the ad ended I was watching a minute ahead of where the ad break started. Like I said I’m usually okay with ads (I understand they still need to make money off my freeloading) but I feel like this app just made it far too obnoxious and nearly impossible to enjoy watching anything.

This app is horrible. It either random skips an episode or return back to the previous episode on its own. It even stops streaming at random and freezes my Chromecast. Changing the language is a challenge. It takes forever to do that and sometimes when you change it, it'll also go back to the previous episode. They want $7.99 a month but can't make their app work properly. Like an idiot, I paid for it. It says no ads but all I keep seeing is ads. This is absolutely ridiculously.

The UI is garbage. If you download an episode you can't change the settings for the captions of that episode. For some reason Subtitles default to Portuguese. If you change one setting mid episode it restarts it. Half the time the video player never plays, just showing a black screen with the title. Haven't been able to watch anything with out downloading it. Is somehow worse than Crunchyroll. All I wanted to do was watch Serial Experiments Lain legally.

This app is always buggy. I really dislike the functionality of Funimation. It really needs better features added. Some major issues... When I'm watching a show, it doesn't always show up in my recently watched. Always plays the wrong episode that I am trying to watch. I have to click on the episode previous to the one I am on to get it to play the right one. It won't always cast correctly and it takes a minute or so to cast. Higher price for same service???
