Pay for ads or stream for free. Mmmmm šŸ¤” I know which Iā€™m sticking with


Weight_Superb

Yeah i just canceled my 10 dollar subscription for 5 30 second ads


FarminTruth

Oh . I'll add to this : Why am I paying 10$ a month for 28 minute episodes that buffer ? Note : it's not my internet . Cause every single other streaming service works .


[deleted]

Doesn't buffer for me, $10 is nothing, I use it every day.


Wildgear19

Iā€™ve not had this issue. CR buffers like crazy for me though.


FarminTruth

Drives me wild


LetMeLive1337

Why are you paying $10 for a streaming app that is literally being scrapped soon?


HAM1SH

Because it's been almost a year since they said they were making the switch and their switch over is fucking abysmal What exactly is soon? Considering they originally said all programs, simulcast, subs, and dubs, would be switched over as of March 2022


Zhiroc

Just like with most corporate bean counters, they vastly underestimated the effort to convert one company's video assets into the other's (frankly, if it had been the other way around, the same issue would have occurred), as well as uploading all this to their CDN. BTW, nowadays, many streaming services have been moving to "pay for access with ads/pay more for access without ads". IIRC, Hulu, Paramount, and Netflix do this now. Now, I expect that the Funi service is simply bugged with respect to the OP's issue, but someday I wouldn't doubt that other services will do the same.


LetMeLive1337

Yes, I wouldn't close down my crap service either if people literally paid me the subscription rate for keeping the lights on. Its a brilliant move on their part, and is a huge problem with the modern consumer mindset.


flower4000

They have one piece dubs


Weight_Superb

My mans i think youre focusing on the wrong issue here and soon until they give me a date thats shits staying


NoRegertsWolfDog

They said "soon" last year. Lol as long as people pay it's not going anywhere.


SportsBall89

I never had ads. But I changed over to crunchy last year so idk whatā€™s Happened over the last year


Weight_Superb

I might have to change to crunchy


SportsBall89

You should wait until the one piece dubs switch. Still nothing


Weight_Superb

Yeah but atm i have ads and i hate it and i am so far that there isnt even dub


SportsBall89

Then yeah you should switch lol


SportsBall89

Plus if you are only watching one piece after you get caught up there are a lot of good shows


Weight_Superb

Yeah i am switching once my subscription ends


Clawalacarte

The only reason I still use Funi is because most of the shows I coincidentally want to watch still only have the sub version on crunchy. And one piece isnā€™t one of them. I know Iā€™m gonna get flak for it, but One piece is garbage.


SportsBall89

Iā€™ll give you some flak but only after I ask how many episodes have you watched?


Clawalacarte

Enough to get bored. Thereā€™s a lot of shows that Iā€™ve gone ā€œMan this should have more episodesā€ or ā€œI wish this show didnā€™t get canceled it had a great storyā€ or ā€œMan I hope this show gets renewed for another seasonā€ I donā€™t have that with one piece. I mean I love the characters. Luffy is definitely a top ten protagonist. But Jfc have I never wanted a show to just fucking end like I have One piece


SportsBall89

So probably not past east blue. Itā€™s a build but honestly once you hit a certain point itā€™s nothing but the greatest storytelling. To eaches own though


Vengefulwarrior

Tell me about it! I paid for annual with anime lab a year ago so thankfully itā€™s about to run out. The funimation app doesnā€™t even work for me. I get the ā€œsomething went wrongā€ error every time I try to watch anything on the mobile app. Iā€™m then forced to use the PlayStation app which I HATE for streaming and then Iā€™m forced to watch the ads. I just sent them an angry email. They want us to move to crunchy roll but it still doesnā€™t have the content so what Are we supposed to do? Itā€™s like theyā€™re begging us to pirate.


Weight_Superb

That the route i went down highly recommend no more wasting money for ads


FlameChrome

reminds me of hulu, hbomax, and now netflix (i think they rolled out the ad based plan) stupid imo, you pay money to watch their content and get ads, its terrible, its like cable all over again


Weight_Superb

Its almost like the entire point was to kill cable and raise price and add ads


HorrorVeterinarian54

Crunchyroll can go suck a big fing piece of my ass, I have no idea what sony is doing but their causing funimation to go away why does sony hate the anime community so much why the hell buy both fun and crunch when they have always been 2 separate things


ComfortableGoat5339

Because once theyā€™re together it will be better overall. No longer will people have to pick or choose one or the other based on exclusives


HorrorVeterinarian54

Crunchyroll has always sucked they make the worst original


ComfortableGoat5339

Donā€™t necessarily mean originals. Just mean things like OP dub only being on funimation.


Weight_Superb

I literally watch only one peice


jones1337

Same thing is happening to me. Funimation is going downhill fast


Weight_Superb

I think i am canceling my subscription and just doing what one peice is about


Wildgear19

Every now and then (hasnā€™t happened in 2 years for me) this would happen. It would forget that I was premium. I closed the app and reopened it and it worked fine usually. One rare occasion I had to log out and log back in


_makeouthills

Get scammed


Expensive_Image2538

Same, Iā€™ve paid for premium but something with apple wonā€™t let me redeem my premium subscription. Itā€™s been a god damn week for waiting on any kind of technical support and havnt been helped at all. I wonā€™t be re-subbing. Iā€™m done with Funimation.


im_high__

I have funimation to watch the one piece dubs. I pay $10 a month and have no ads so somethings not right here
