It was only a matter of time, and pretty much requested on a regular basis, but FUNimation is closer to introducing an Elite level service for those that want to watch anime on their portal. It may also portend a more serious effort into the world of simulcasts in that there’s money to be made on it, even meager scraps, for the Japanese studios similar to what Crunchyroll and The Anime Network do. No start date is set, but they do have some interesting things to offer, particularly in trying to draw the dub fans in early to get a look at some series. The pricing is pretty standard as well so there’s no surprises to be had here at the moment and we’ll be waiting to hear more on the HD quality side, which has long been the biggest issue people have had with their existing portal.
Coming soon to http://FUNimation.com So fully loaded, it’ll blow your mind.
