Never heard of either, so whats the back story and the Threat???
Crunchyroll and Funimation are streaming services that specialized in anime.
They both have shops where you can buy digital/physical copies of anime as well.
In 2020, Sony, which already owned Funimation, went ahead and purchased Crunchyroll from Warner Bros.
Now the merger is complete, and Crunchyroll will remain as the top brand while Funimation's Catalog gets folded into them.
However Sony/Crunchroll are refusing to honor digital purchases that were made on the Funimation platform.
Yeah, the push to return to physical media is going to get aggressive now
