I'm still kinda salty that MHA S3's first episode will be a bit delayed for the dub. At least Episode 2 will come out on the same day as the subbed version.
More-or-less, though Funimation's service has access to more English dubs (& Funimation has some of the best dubs in the anime industry).
I agree. Still need to catch up on High School DxD *lenny face*
Yes. It's one of the top two. It has better exclusives for dubs like Dragon Ball dub and One piece.
It's like Crunchyroll but only with Funimation licensed anime (which Crunchyroll has got a good chunk of now after the recent parternship)
Nico Nico, Hulu, and Funimation are all confirmed/out for Switch.
Wonder what's the hold up for Netflix

Funimation has the more vast library of anime but Crunchyroll is still hype and gets cool anime too.

Yup, said partnership includes Funimation includes doing the dub for various anime found on Crunchyroll on their service while CR gets the subbed version (though there are instances where Funimation gets both subbed & dubbed versions of the anime in question, like My Hero Academia & Dragon Ball Super).
I guess this will be useless to me and many others.
I can't even view the funimation website.
...the wait for a Switch app I can actually use continues...

All things considered that may actually be what they were hinting at in that tweet.
You know what other anime is in Funimation?
Puchim@s, the 2d chibi show for IM@S.
And IM@S is developer Bandai Namco's IP.
Bandai Namco developed Smash for 3ds and Wii U.
Haruka for SMASH!
Guessing Crunchyroll will be putting one out too before long then, what with the partnership.
It's good to hear more media apps are coming, though it's odd to not see Netflix or iPlayer yet given how ubiquitous those usually are.

Given Funimation & Crunchyroll's partnership, I'd imagine that CR won't be too far behind in terms of getting their app on the Switch.

Hopefully VRV won't be too far behind once Crunchyroll gets on the Switch.
VRV is an America-only thing right now, so putting them all in one would lock out a lot of customers (unless they keep the standalone apps too?).
Oh really? Welp, time to play catch up on the first few seasons now :^)

Dragon Ball Super's dub gets added to FunimationNow every 13 episodes that get aired on Toonami.
