Crunchyroll and Funimation are merged: How does this affect the Spanish fans?

The world of anime in the West is congratulations: CrunchyRoll , the highest _streaming platform and that offers most services of Japanese animation series, has just announced that Officially Funimation , its main "rival" in terms of anime online visualization. While in Spain it was not available, Latin American users can enjoy a huge amount of content for the price of a subscription to the orange platform.

In addition, they have composed also the Wakanim platform , which is the same as the previous two but only for French users. It should be emphasized that the Crunchyroll itself has commented that the premium accounts of Funimation and Wakanim will have access to their improved version, so they will not have to pay added. It was not very unbocked to think that both companies were negotiating this agreement, since with the arrival of Sony to this industry everything indicated the unification of anime in a single platform.

What does this change for Spanish fans?

While Latin American fans will save a good money in paying both subscriptions to see licenses from all over the world, it is true that for Spain users the thing does not change much. The big problem? Licenses in our country are quite distributed , in addition to other many platforms have already been made with the rights of works well known and above all dear by many as the Netflix case with the sixth part of Jojo's or Shūmatsu no Valkyrie, who have harvested enough success among their spectators.

We will have to see what all this is for Spanish users, but everything indicates that it will be a slower process than in other countries because of what we have mentioned previously with the licenses. Series like Bleach, or the first seasons of Boku No Hero Academy and Shingeki No Kyojin are not yet available in our country, but it is a matter of time arriving and normalized to Crunchyroll as a platform more than streaming online.
