Twenty-six years ago, the Fukunagas (Eugene and Cindy) created what is now known as Funimation. Since then, it has become one of the most sort-after online streaming platforms. If you are reading this and wondering what Funimation is, you are not a fan of anime's Japanese visual entertainment style. If you are in the know, long-live anime!
Funimation is based in Flower Mound in northern Texas. Being under Sony Pictures parenting, it battles for attention with other platforms such as Crunchyroll (of Otter Media).
Of interest is the Funimation subscription renewal, and this article will guide you on how to do that.
Funimation and subscription
To use Funimation comfortably, you must be in the United States, Canada, the UK, New Zealand, Ireland, or Australia. However, a VPN can solve that issue if you are in a no-Funimation zone.
On Funimation, you can use a free or paid account. It offers paid subscriptions in three packs – the premium, premium plus, and premium plus ultra packages. Before anything else, you can take advantage of the free trial. The premium plan has a $5.99-a-month tag, the premium plus one $7.99-a-month, and the premium plus one $99-a-year tag.
This article will guide you on how to renew your subscription on the website (Funimation.com), the app (Android), Apple TV and Roku.
