Funimation


 * NOTE: Make sure you read the news about recent changes to Funimation...

Funimation (formerly known as Funimation Productions and Funimation Entertainment, and usually stylized as FUNimation) is an American entertainment company and subsidiary of Sony. From 2017 to 2019, the Japanese conglomerate Sony owned a 95% stake in the company through its Sony Pictures Entertainment division (via Sony Pictures Television), and since 2019, Sony runs the company through a joint venture between two of its units: Sony Pictures Entertainment (via Sony Pictures Television) and Sony Music Entertainment Japan (via Aniplex).

In August 2021, Funimation acquired the streaming service Crunchyroll.

In March 2022, it was announced that Funimation's catalog will be moving to Crunchyroll with the implication that Funimation may effectively be shutting down.

On March 24, 2022, Crunchyroll announced that Sentai Filmworks licensed anime would be leaving on March 31. Sentai Filmworks licensed their anime to Funimation, but apparently decided to end the license once Funimation was merged into Crunchyroll. Sentai Filmworks anime will still be available for streaming on the HIDIVE service.

History
Originally founded in 1994 by Gen Fukunaga and his wife, the company became a subsidiary of Navarre Corporation on May 11, 2005. In April 2011, Navarre sold Funimation to a group of investors including Gen Fukunaga for $24 million. Around the same time, the company's trademark ball, star & blue bar were dropped from its logo as well as the word "entertainment" dropped from its name to simply be called "Funimation". Funimation produces, markets, and distributes anime and other entertainment properties in the United States and international markets. The company is headquartered in Flower Mound, Texas. Funimation is a portmanteau of the English words fun and animation.
