Support NeoGAF

I just found this in my Email Inbox, but It looks like Funimation finally brought an app to the Xbox 360. Even more interesting is that they state within their FAQ that they're about to start development on an Xbox One version of the app. Personally I've been looking hoping for them to get an app out for the Xbox, and now that its here I can see myself using the Funimation service alot more than before.

It doesn't say what regions its out for, though I'm going to assume that its North America only considering that's the territory Funimation buys the rights for.

Do I need an Xbox Live Gold account to install the FUNimation Xbox App?

No, you will only need an Xbox Live account.

Does the Xbox app work on Xbox One?

The FUNimation Xbox app is only available on Xbox 360. We will be developing an app for Xbox One soon.

What do I get if I install the Xbox app and I am not a subscriber?

Non-subscribers get ad-supported access to only the first 2-4 episodes of every show that has free-streaming rights on FUNimation.com. Click here to become a subscriber today and access over 9,000 episodes in HD without ads!

Can I manage my Queue in the Xbox app on my computer?

Yes! Because your Queue is synced between the Xbox app and the website, you can add Shows to or remove Shows from your Queue from either the Xbox app or from FUNimation.com, and your Queue will update in both locations. To access your Queue on the website, log in, click on your username to expand the header, and then click on the View All button in the Queue section. If you are currently logged in to the website, you can also access your Queue by clicking right here!

They have anything good that isn't on Hulu? If so I will keep this in mind especially with the Gold wall removed for media apps.

The app is nice, it'd be nicer if Funi actually dubbed One Piece at a decent rate.

 

[Bsigg12]

I wish it was out on the Xbox One as well. It is a nice little app though.

 

[Himi]

If they had a PS3 app I'd probably pay for it and crunchy.

 

[Jotamide]

Crunchyroll was there a long time ago.

Not sure about Hulu (because I'm Canadian), Though if I had to guess it would be the Simulcast shows which they wouldn't put up on Hulu until the Season/Cour is done.

Crunchyroll was there a long time ago.

Crunchyroll is by far the best out of all the services for Anime. Though Funimation does have a habit of getting a couple good shows every season. So it helps.

At the rate they're going, you are better off watching the subbed version.

I'm not a big fan of subbed anime so I haven't really been able to make much use of the Crunchyroll app. This is big news for me since Funimation is pretty much all dubs. I may just subscribe but probably not until they get apps up for the next gen systems.

I hope the Xbone app is really, really soon. Their iPad app is shit, I hate watching online, and I have like 5 months of subscription left. I'd like to use it you know?

US here and I can't really think of any shows in recent memory from Funimation that didn't wind up on Hulu either during the beginning of the season, mid season with a delayed start/couple episodes behind, or at the end of the season where they throw half of it up and add a couple episodes per week (it's weird how they do some shows). Most of it gets added at some point for the most part though.

Crunchyroll + Hulu + Neon Alley + Daisuki cover most bases. Of course Funi has wayyyy more dubs then Neon Alley. If I had the money I'd sign up for Funi and forgo Neon Alley.

The funimation sub is mostly for their dubs... as in general they put up most of their dubs weeks before they come out on DVD... (typically it's something like 5 weeks before dvd release get eps 1-2 to stream dubbed, at 3 weeks before or so you get the rest that will be on the dvd)

if you are just worried about watching the new stuff as it comes out of japan the funimation sub isn't very good as most of the shows as you said are on other places.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

If they just would add Chromecast support for their Android app, I would probably already be a subscriber.

 

[rrc1594]

can we get this on the X1 you to Crunchyroll. Only app I use on my PS4

 

[makingmusic476]

For some reason I thought Funimation just used Hulu for everything. That's always where I get directed whenever there's a show they have that Crunchyroll doesn't.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Need PS3 too. Would love Wii U but I'm realistic. Became an Elite subscriber during their anniversary sale.

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I just hope the app runs well without issues. I've heard they take forever fixing problems.
