Crunchyroll Offers to Compensate Funimation Digital Copy Owners With 'Appropriate Value'

In an interview with technology news website The Verge on its Decoder podcast on Monday, Crunchyroll president Rahul Purini revealed that the company is working to offer users migrating from the soon-to-shut-down Funimation app to Crunchyroll with “an appropriate value” of compensation for their digital copies, which Crunchyroll does not support.

The Verge writer Ash Parrish attempted to test Purini’s stated policy with a free Funimation account containing digital copies of The Vision of Escaflowne and Steins;Gate, the former not yet available on Crunchyroll, and the latter requiring a premium Crunchyroll subscription.

Crunchyroll has not specified how exactly it will compensate users “an appropriate value” to their Funimation digital copies.
