Funimation is expanding their own line-up of mobile apps for their FunimationNow service, so it is time PS Vita players got in on the anime action. In a recent update, Funimation confirmed they would be brining FunimationNow to the PS Vita. The service will remain available on other devices like smartphones, tablets, Apple TV, Roku, Xbox, and PlayStation. The app will be getting an all-over upgrade to make it easier for anime fans to find new, exciting series to watch.
“Anime spans a ton of diverse genres, and that means a ton of diverse fans! Not every fan watches the same way, but everyone deserves to be able to watch how they want,” the site explains. “During our FunimationNow launch, we’ll be rolling out new apps for more devices than ever.”
If you’re not a fan of mobile apps, then there’s no need to worry. Funimation will still have old-school options for web users. Their website will also be getting optimized for on-the-go viewers, but the video player and search functions are also getting a facelift.
Funimation does host a very impressive catalog of shows. The company has the largest library of English dubs anywhere online, so their website’s search engine will let fans search series by title, keywords, genre, and year. And, yes, it will even make recommendations for you based on your favorite anime series.This announcement is just one of many that Funimation has made over the summer.
Most recently, the company thrilled anime enthusiasts when they announced their new partnership with Crunchyroll. The websites have banded together to expand their summer simulcast content which means that Crunchyroll users now have subbed access to Funimation’s library. And, in return, Funimation subscribers will get dubbed access to Crunchyroll’s catalog.
