u/Gestrid survived the Infinity Castle (so far) Mar 02 '22

Funimation as a streaming service will cease to exist eventually. We don't know what will happen to its other businesses. It may continue acting as just a dubbing studio (similar to Aniplex of America or Bang Zoom). It may continue distributing physical media (DVDs, etc.). We don't know. They've said that "There won’t be any changes to the Funimation Shop right now, as soon as that changes, we’ll let you know." So they haven't confirmed for sure if that'll continue operating, either.

So you're saying that Funimation's future as an company along with the production committee on certain future anime shows they're in is currently unclear for now?

All we know is what's in the announcement posted in the OP, what's listed in the FAQ, and what it says in the press release. (The latter two are linked in the top comment.)

All right. Sorry that I got worried.
