Funimation
Dubbed anime provider
Funimation is an American entertainment company specializing in dubbing and distributing Japanese anime for English-speaking audiences.
Founded in 1994, it became the dominant force in bringing anime to the West, licensing major franchises like Dragon Ball and My Hero Academia.
I grew up watching anime on Funimation.
The company merged with Crunchyroll in 2022.
