Just saw this tweet from Funimation that Crunchyroll and them are merging, I curious what does this mean for anime as a whole? Will there be big chances or small changes.

Hmm good question. Well truthfully speaking I use neither web site so I cant even speculate, personally. Maybe with the voice acting though?

I don't know how Crunchyroll is doing their subtitles. But that doesn't sound good. Funimation is infamous for changing the translations to reflect Western SJW talking points. To the point that it's even pissed Japan off and they passive aggressively clapped back. I can't blame them. They're taking the creator's original messages, meanings and story and twisting it into something it's not. It's extremely disrespectful and I wouldn't be surprised if it got to a point where anime studios won't want to do business with funimation anymore.

I kind of lost respect for funimation when they started throwing in pop culture references that most certainly was not a part of the original script. I just want a translation of the script. No changes aside from making it sound more natural in English at the very most.
I just want the original script. No cultural changes, no pop culture references, no SJW talking points, no politics from any side, no nonsense. 

 

It's very frustrating since I like to buy the physical copies to support the creators.

Outside of Netflix. Most of American Anime is now under the control of Sony.
