Your go-to streaming service for anime shows
(Image credit: Future)
If you’re an anime fan, you’ve probably heard of Funimation. Offering over 600 shows, including original series and simulcast shows - Funimation goes beyond being the best place to watch anime. Funimation subscribers can also gain access to exclusive events, collectibles and the dedicated Funimation app.
Funimation Global Group - a subsidiary of Sony - specialises in dubs and distributing TV shows and movies from East Asia, specifically Japanese anime. In 2016 it launched its very own streaming service, Funimation, where you can stream and simulcast Japanese anime series.
Originally known as Funimation Now, Funimation has more than 2.5 million users subscribed to the platform, with over 15,000 hours of anime to watch.
More than that, Funimation embodies the adoration many have for the digital art form, and offers its US and Canada users additional perks including access to events, as well as special offers on its shop and an anniversary gift for every year you're subscribed to either its Premium Plus or Premium Ultra Plus plan.
Offering ad-free streaming when you opt for one of its subscriptions, Funimation starts from $5.99 a month and up to two simultaneous streams. Pay more and you'll get the option of up to five simultaneous streams.
Funimation is home to some of the best anime series, including programming from the likes of Sentai Filmworks, Aniplex of America, and Right Stuf Inc. Promising over 15,000 hours of anime, there's plenty to dive into on Funimation no matter what you're after, whether it's One Piece, Yuri!!! on Ice, or anime's own take on X-Men, My Hero Academia.
Able to be broken down into genres, why not go for a lighthearted comedy like How Not to Summon a Demon Lord, or Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan. For something a touch more romantic, there's Kaguya-sama: Love is War. Perhaps not necessarily associated with anime, there are also live action titles such as Shin Godzilla and Let Me Out.
For those looking to get into anime, why not check out Funimation's 'Popular' tab for what anime fanatics are streaming most. These include A Lull in the Sea, Ace Attorney, and Attack on Titan. You'll even be able to watch Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, which topped the box office in the US.
There's plenty to choose from in the way of anime, all completely uninterrupted when you opt for one of Funimation's subscriptions. For free account holders, you'll be able to explore a limited range of these titles with ads.
1.Attack on Titan
2.My Hero Academia
3.One Piece
4.Rurouni Kenshin
5.Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
6.Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Depending on where you are depends on both what plans you can subscribe to and the content you get, with some streaming rights dependent on your location. For those in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, and Brazil, you'll only have the option of the Premium Plus plan for £4.99/AU$7.95/NZ$7.95/€5.99 a month.
For those in the US and Canada, there is a bit more variation from plan to plan:
•Premium: $5.99 a month or $59.99 a year
•Premium Plus: $7.99 a month or $79.99 a year
•Premium Plus Ultra: $99.99 a year
The higher up the tier you go, the more streams you get, as well as the ability to watch content offline and benefit from other subscription perks.
New customers looking to get their anime fix can benefit from a free trial of the streaming service. You can check out our Funimation free trial guide for more detailed information on the free trial period, what plans its available on, and the cheapest way to watch Funimation thereafter.

When it comes to streaming services and anime, the only other kid on the block other than Funimation is Crunchyroll. So what sets these two apart? Well, Crunchyroll will have new episodes of straight from Japan just an hour after they've aired there, measuring its library's volume in episodes rather than hours, boasting 30,000 episodes to binge your way through. On top of anime movies and TV shows, Crunchyroll also hosts manga for users to read online.
It does sit at a slightly more expensive price point, with its lowest tier Fan plan costing $7.99 a month with no option to save with an annual plan. This is the cost for just one stream at any one time, and no offline viewing much like Funimation's Premium plan. Megan Fan is $9.99 a month and you'll get four simultaneous streams and its Offline Viewing feature, as well as access to the Crunchyroll expo event and an exclusive discount on its shop. For this and more exclusive goodies, you can pay $9.99 a month for Ultimate Fan with six simultaneous streams.
Unsure? You can benefit from a Crunchyroll free trial, much like with all Funimation plans, to see which one ticks all your anime boxes.
If you want a bit more versatility from your streaming service, however, it's worth considering the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, or HBO Max, where you can watch Studio Ghibli, Pokémon, and other anime titles, while also benefitting from other TV show and movie genres that might be more appealing to other members of your household. Netflix starts from $8.99 a month, while an Amazon Prime Video subscription cost will be $12.99 a month, or just Prime Video on its own for $8.99 a month. You can now benefit from a cheaper HBO Max price with its new with-ads plan that costs $9.99 a month.
