Japanese anime streaming subscription
My experience with the Japanese anime streaming subscription service has been pretty good, eh. I've been loving watching all sorts of anime series on my TV using the Roku app, and the streaming quality has been incredibly smooth, eh. Some folks have left negative reviews about the content selection, but I think everyone's taste in shows is different, eh. Plus, you can check out what's available before signing up, so it's up to you, eh. Just keep in mind that they might not have all the anime series because of deals with other companies, eh. I haven't had any big problems with the service, and overall, I've had a positive experience, eh. Oh, and I like that they offer a free trial so you can try it out before you decide to pay for a subscription, eh.
Subscription
My experience with the subscription service wasn't the greatest, I have to admit. The platform had a lot of bugs and problems, like not keeping track of the language or quality preferences I had set before. Plus, the feature to automatically play the next episode didn't work at all, whether I tried to use autoplay or manually clicked the button. It was just frustrating trying to navigate through the site for a smooth viewing experience. To be honest, torrenting seemed like a more reliable option. And to top it off, the platform would glitch out and spoil episodes by randomly skipping ahead to future ones, both on my computer and when I tried to cast to another device.
Overlord missing episodes
I noticed that some episodes were missing from the Overlord anime series, even though it's supposed to be available. And on top of that, you need a premium account to watch certain shows, which can be really annoying for viewers. The user interface is not great, and the app is even worse than the website. It feels like the merger with another company made things worse overall.
Premium Subscription
Honestly, the experience with the platform has been not great. The apps on all my devices are just terrible. There are always buffering issues, even though I have a good internet connection, making it so frustrating to watch shows. And don't even get me started on the auto-play feature - it's basically useless when it comes to shows with extras. And why does it keep changing my language preference back to default every few episodes? It's like they're trying to drive me crazy. I'm paying 10 bucks a month and I can't shake the feeling that I'm getting ripped off. The only good thing is the wide range of shows they have, but that doesn't make up for all the problems. In the end, the cons definitely outweigh the pros in this situation.
Funimation digital purchase
So I bought some stuff online from this place, eh? And let me tell you, it was a total disappointment! The stuff I received didn't even work, such a waste, you know? I reached out to their support team for help, but after two whole weeks, they completely ignored me! Not cool, not cool at all. I thought things would improve after the Crunchyroll takeover, but nope, it's still a mess. So be careful, eh? They're just awful.
Streaming service subscription
This website is just terrible, honestly. I was excited to watch all my favorite shows on here, but it's a total disaster. Whenever I try to watch something, the video keeps pausing and buffering every few seconds. It's so frustrating - impossible to enjoy anything with all these glitches.
Annual subscription renewal
I recently renewed my subscription with your service for the year and to be honest, I'm not too happy with how things have been going. I paid $86 for the renewal, only to have my account suspended shortly after. I've been trying to get this sorted out for a while now, but so far, I haven't gotten any help or even a refund. Every time I ask for assistance, they ask me to send a screenshot of the receipt, which I do right away, but then I never hear back. It's been 6 months of frustration and wasted time trying to fix this, and it's really disappointing to know that my money was taken without getting the service I paid for in return. This kind of behavior just isn't right, it feels like you're stealing from me.
Anime subscription
Eh, this service is just terrible. All I wanna do is kick back and watch some anime after a rough day of school and chores, but this website is a disaster. The layout is all over the place, and the search bar might as well not even exist. It took me ages to track down the episode I was after, and when I finally found it, it was the wrong one! Seriously, can't a person just watch Boruto in peace without having to hunt down the episodes like it's some kind of game? Just give me what I'm here for, for crying out loud!
Premium streaming service
As someone who uses the premium streaming service, I gotta say the content library they offer is amazing. But man, the user experience needs some serious work. It's super annoying to keep running into errors and problems when I'm just trying to watch episodes. Even though I'm a subscriber, I still get messages saying some episodes are only for premium subscribers, which is a huge pain. It really takes the fun out of binge-watching shows when every episode is a struggle. Funimation really needs to step up their game and make their platform smoother and more enjoyable for us customers.
Streaming subscription
This streaming service is just terrible, eh? The website is a mess, full of glitches and errors that no one seems to care about. The queue system is all over the place, making it hard to keep track of what you want to watch. Autoplay never seems to work properly, and trying to get help from customer support just results in an "out-of-territory" message. It really feels like they only provide support to certain customers, leaving the rest of us feeling frustrated and ignored. Spent so much time trying to figure out their website that it's no longer fun to watch the actual content. It's a shame, because I would love to support them if they didn't lock up so many shows. But the way things are now, it's just not worth the trouble, eh?
Show subscription
Oh my goodness, this App is just terrible! I can't even cast it to my Chrome, and don't even get me started on Marathon Mode - it's such a lie! I have to go back to the home menu after every episode myself, and the 'Next Episode' button doesn't even do its job. And what's the deal with 'Mature Mode' - it does absolutely nothing! Canceling my subscription was a nightmare, so I ended up cancelling my card instead. This App is a total disaster, like honestly, don't waste your time.
Subscription renewal
I've been trying to deal with my subscription renewal since November and it's been super frustrating and inefficient. The customer service folks keep saying they're working on it, but nothing's been fixed yet. I tried to take my card off the account to stop getting charged, but turns out I need to add another card first before I can delete it. This whole situation has really ruined the good time my son was having with the subscription in the first year.
Online streaming subscription
It's one thing to ignore a customer's request to cancel an account, but to completely stop replying altogether is just plain rude, eh? I had to resort to calling my bank to cancel my subscription because Funimation couldn't be bothered to respond. Talk about terrible customer service, eh? I will definitely not be recommending this service to anyone in the future, eh?
Subscription for anime streaming service
I gotta say, I'm pretty let down by the service from this company. Their app crashes all the time and it's just super frustrating to deal with. It feels like once they've got your cash, they couldn't care less about giving you a good experience. I've tried getting in touch with their customer service for help, but I never heard back. Honestly, I'd suggest checking out Crunchyroll instead. They've got a way better selection of shows and more reliable service. It's a bummer that Funimation seems more interested in money than actually providing a quality product.
My subscription for many years
I've been subscribed for so long trying to support the peeps, but the buffering is like every 20 seconds, so frustrating. I can't even. Even those sketchy sites have better quality! It's not just occasionally, it's every single time, every show, every day. What even is going on?
Anime Blu-ray box set
I've had three annoying experiences with this company back to back. Every time, my account had the funds, but they couldn't seem to handle the transaction right. And to top it off, they even tried to charge my card without asking me. It's almost like they want to be like that big company infamous for sketchy transactions and double charges. I can't wrap my head around how bad their payment system is. Is their only skill now taking money without permission? It's just really disappointing.
Anime selection disappointment
The anime selection here is so disappointing. They don't even have all the seasons, eh! And trying to find something by genre is a total nightmare, let me tell you. There's no way to see all the shows in a genre, just a random selection of 10. It's so frustrating trying to find a specific anime, it's just a big letdown. I really should've stuck with a different streaming service like Crunchyroll, for sure.
Subscription to a streaming service
I signed up for this big streaming service thinking it would be amazing, eh? But turns out, all I got was buffering, buffering, and more buffering. My internet is top-notch for other sites, so it's pretty annoying that I can barely watch a minute without it freezing up. Such a bummer to have all this cool stuff to watch, but the service can't keep up, you know what I mean?
