      as far as I know the owned content on funi only came from codes that came with physical media
      still a bit fricked to not migrate them over though
      i'm surprised to hear funi still existed in any capacity at all though, their entire youtube channel got rebranded to crunchyroll dubs ages ago

      its probably such a small amount of people who even redeem those code too. almost every single blu ray i buy with codes in them are already expired and the few that arent i dont even bother, not just anime but with any movie. they have the data on how many people have these redeemed, and they have data on how often those people actually use the site. you either are digital or you are physical, no one who cares about one is going to be put off losing the other. but as always, this is a choice individuals have to make for themselves an vote with their wallet. i dont use sub services or purchase digital shows often at all, last time was a month of apple+ to watch severance which didnt have a disc release when i checked

        Honestly it's because I believe no matter how much repetitive labor I perform I will never be able to own a house. That means that however unlikely my survival is in a scenario of societal collapse, I am more likely to own a house if it happens therefore, if something seems indicative of society degrading in pretty much any way whatsoever, I have a personal motive to feel satisfied and not outraged by said degradation. If anything, I am annoyed that piracy exists because it is slowing down that process by allowing men ages 18-40 to access to placative entertainment a la bread and circus.

    Sony owns FUNimation, and then bought crunchyroll too. Now they have no reason for TWO anime services, so they combined it into one, and kept the crunchyroll brand because it's better

    I didn’t realise you could buy stuff on funimation. They switched to CrunchyRoll like a year or two ago. I used CR for convenience. But like most streaming services they only really have 75% of the stuff you want on there. But yes, if you want to actually buy a movie you should just get a disc copy. Most people have a console if they don’t have a dedicated dvd player.
