this article is pretty bad, like the worst i've read in a long while
crunchyroll will be the home of funimation's subbed content going forward, while funimation will be dubbing some shows that crunchyroll gets licenses for

OH SHIT.
I was thinking "Funimation had a streaming service for awhile now." This is actually pretty big news.

Yeah, it's nice. I just subbed to watch Fairy Tail and it's been quite good.
They're teaming up against us. We must band together to stop this!

I hope they start dubbing a lot more anime. Maybe I'm an idiot, but I hate reading subs.

Pretty amazing they are still trying to create a paid streaming service when there are so MANY free illegal anime streaming sites.

its one of the shows that will be dubbed by funimation iirc
So I've noticed today that whenever I try to open Funimation.com I get an error,
Error code 16
This request was blocked by the security rules
Have Funimation finally done something to block people from outside the US accessing the site via a VPN service?
I wouldn't mind as much but my damned subscription just renewed last month, and the UK service has barely a fraction of the content.

It's working for me. They've just cut over to their new website
Most of those sites steal the videos from Crunchyroll and upload them in a worse quality though. CR is (an optionally) premium service for the speed and quality it provides, faansubs have a hard time competing.
I'm still getting errors when I try to open the US website whilst connected to a US server via NordVPN though.
If I disconnect and try to open the site I just get redirected back to the funimationnow.co.uk site.
This is what I get if I just browse to https://www.funimation.com/ whilst connected to VPN,

CR stays winning, i keep my annual sub with them since Funimation keeps making it harder and harder to watch when you aint from the US/CA
I was subscribed to Funimation for their dubs.
One of the biggest issues is that I can't even access the website to login and cancel my recurring subscription if they've made it totally inaccessible rather than just blocking the actual video content.

Oh I see. I missed the external to US VPN part. I connect from a VPN often from within the US and it's fine.

clear up your cache or try with a different browser, maybe that helps. also if you can wait a day or two, it could be changing sites is causing some problems.
btw, if you have it through paypal cancel it through them.
It's subscribed through my Credit Card, so the best I may be able to do is tell them to not allow the transaction next January.
Gonna contact NordVPN support to see if they can do anything too.
I normally access with Chrome so I can use Chromecase, but I did try with Edge too and got the same error, even though I've never accessed the site from Edge before.

Eh, just difference of taste I would say. I hate watching english movies or shows with subtitles and I don't understand why people who speak english would want to do that. But I'll take subbed Anime all day everyday instead of dubbed.
Ok, bit of an update.
If I try to access whilst connected to NordVPN, totally blocked off.
But I remembered I never got around to cancelling my Getflix subscription, so I disconnected from VPN, put the Getflix DNS servers back into my LAN connection and....bam, straight in.
Weird, I'd have thought a simple DNS service would be what they'd go for rather than VPN services.
