The most fucked up thing is that they're saying crunchyroll won't support funimations stuff.
FUNIMATION BOUGHT OUT CRUNCHYROLL. Not the other way around.
So funimation now owns CR and funimation is dropping off the digital copies that they themselves sold to people and changing their own name to Crunchyroll. Funimation literally chose to drop support of what they sold themselves, hike prices up after buying out their competitor Crunchyroll, and they're taking over using the name Crunchyroll because it has a more positive name recognition.
in the end, blame. sony (who owns both)
Good call.
Funimation was purchased by Sony and merged into Crunchyroll.
