3 Things Funimation Needs To Improve In 2022
Funimation is one of those streaming platforms that I can’t help but find myself return to at least once a year, meaning it clearly has a selling point, but I hardly ever remain subscribed to them for long. If I’m around for a certain anime I don’t generally let my subscription once that anime is complete. With that said, I want to talk about some of my pain points with Funimation and what I think they need to improve upon in 2022 in hopes of becoming a more viable streaming platform.
Robust Language Options
English Dubbed. Japanese Subbed. Everyone else, tough. That’s one of the saddest parts about not just Funimation but the entire anime sector in general, they hardly ever get additional audio language options, sure a latin American dub in Spanish or even Portuguese appears from time to time but it’s hardly a common occurrence. This probably wasn’t a big deal several years ago when anime was far more niche outside of Japan but now that anime is starting to take center stage anime movies and shows need additional language support. Looking at the competitors such as Netflix and Disney+ I can’t help but be completely surprised that Funimation hasn’t already jumped onboard with this, realistically outside some logistical headaches it ultimately shouldn’t cost a whole lot to get additional languages on both new and legacy anime…
