That means VRV too.
It seems Funmation’s partnership with Crunchyroll is ending on November 9th, this year. Crunchyroll shared the news in a post on their forums:
As many of you know, we have had an ongoing partnership with Funimation the last two years, sharing anime between users. Unfortunately, Funimation has decided to go their separate way, and this partnership will be winding down on Friday, November 9th.
For our Crunchyroll community, this means that you’ll still be able to access the biggest anime library in the world. However, a list of select catalog titles licensed via Funimation will be leaving Crunchyroll – likewise, the Funimation catalog will also be impacted. That list is currently being finalized between both parties, and we will share impacted titles with you as available. Currently-airing simulcasts and series that premiered during the partnership will continue to be available on Crunchyroll, including favorites like Attack on Titan and My Hero Academia. Additionally, all home video releases will be released as scheduled and all pre-orders will be fulfilled.
As demonstrated by our record year of anime announcements, Crunchyroll is more committed than ever to bringing you the best and latest series from Japan, as well as expanding our catalog of classics. We’ve just launched a strong fall season — with the likes of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, and Sword Art Online Alicization — and plan to bring much more anime to you in the future.
This change also affects Ellation’s other platform, VRV. On the same day, Funimation’s channel will no longer be available to VRV subscribers, nor as part of their premium service That said, they simultaneously announced that they were partnering with HIDIVE. That will allow VRV users access to Made in Abyss and Bloom Into You, with the rest of HIDIVE’s library to follow.
Oh well, at least Funimation fans won’t have to spend money on any of Ellation’s incoming projects (i’m being as nice as possible here, give me a break).
