not sure why it was an issue running the two separate sites until now.
Because that’s twice the maintenance cost? The better question is why did they take so long after the merge to shut one of them down.
Comment on Funimation is shutting down — and taking your digital library with it

This just screams greed IMO.
Sony (Aniplex), the owner of Funimation (and new owner of Crunchyroll), who actually produced and holds the rights to most of Funimation’s library via their partnership with a Japan-based subsidiary, are choosing to revoke your access to your media.
Funny thing is they merged in 2021, not sure why it was an issue running the two separate sites until now.

Business as usual. You get rich enough to buy out a smaller company and then funnel all of those resources into one main company so that your management now oversees even more power. Who cares how disconnected you are from the community when you’re sleeping on a large stack of money every night.
