My experience with Funimation’s streaming service has been rather poor lately. Slow streaming, clocking, and sometimes the stream won’t go at all.
Really? I did hear glitches in the past with their streaming service, but I thought they improved. I don’t have Funimation so I can’t say much about the streaming service.
I blogged about a couple times
“Gal and Dino” is only the most recent. Funimation is the only legal way to get it but I tried for 2 days and it wouldn’t even start.
That stinks. I bet many fans were disappointed when they had trouble. Funimation should really try fixing the systems.
