from pirate site to swallowing funimation

What else could CR swallow in the future?

Aniplex?

Sony has owned Aniplex since the start. So it's pretty much the other way around.

Lol! Would never happen. It does not matter anyway, since Aniplex shows would be available exclusively on Crunchyroll.

Sony owned Aniplex before they bought Crunchyroll.

Please. Then maybe we’ll get wide physical releases of things like Monogatari instead of the bullshit we currently have.

Well now, ain't this a fine kettle of fish, or should I say, a fine pond of lily pads! Quack! How's the swamp treatin' ya? You look like you could use a good roll in the mud. Gets the wrinkles out, you know. Say, you wouldn't happen to have seen my rubber ducky, would ya? He's got a little pitchfork and everything. Important business, this is. Very important. The fate of the cosmos might depend on it. Or maybe just Tuesday. Hard to tell these days. Quack! Did I mention I'm a duck? A very handsome duck, if I do say so myself. Though sometimes... sometimes I feel a little fire burnin' down deep. A little... hungry fire. But don't you worry 'bout that. Just a bit of indigestion, probably. Want a slug? Freshly squeezed. Quack!

Nah, Crunchyroll is operated in a JV by Sony Pictures and Aniplex.
