Cancel Your Funimation Subscription: All Methods

Looking to cancel your Funimation subscription in 2025? Here’s the reality: Funimation no longer exists.

On April 2, 2024, Funimation officially shut down after Sony completed its merger with Crunchyroll. If you’re still being charged for what you thought was “Funimation,” you’re actually paying for Crunchyroll now.

What started as two competing anime streaming giants ended with Sony acquiring both platforms and consolidating everything under the Crunchyroll brand. Ultimately, this merger also resulted in higher subscription costs. From $5.99/month on Funimation to $7.99-$14.99/month on Crunchyroll.

We’ll go into all of this in detail below, but first… let’s get your subscription situation sorted out.

What Happened to Funimation?

Here’s a quick timeline of what happened and what this means for Funimation subscribers:

What This Meant for Subscribers

Price Increases: Funimation Premium Plus was $5.99/month. After migration, you're now paying $7.99-$14.99/month for Crunchyroll, depending on your plan.

Lost Digital Copies: Funimation offered digital copies with DVD/Blu-ray purchases. Crunchyroll doesn't support these. If you purchased physical media with digital codes, those codes no longer work.

Library Migration (Incomplete): While Crunchyroll claims the "overwhelming majority" of Funimation titles moved over, some shows are still missing. Anime fans have been cataloging what didn't make the jump.

Translation: Sony now controls nearly all anime streaming in North America, eliminated competition, raised prices, and took away content you paid for. Classic corporate consolidation.

How to Cancel Your Funimation Subscription

The cancellation method depends on how you originally signed up. Here's the critical first step:

Step 1: Identify Your Billing Platform

Log into your Crunchyroll account at crunchyroll.com, go to Settings → Membership Info, and check where it says you're billed. You'll see one of these:

1. Crunchyroll (direct billing) → Cancel on Crunchyroll website
2. Apple App Store → Cancel through Apple
3. Google Play → Cancel through Google
4. Amazon Prime Video Channels → Cancel through Amazon
5. Roku Pay → Cancel through Roku
6. PayPal → Cancel on Crunchyroll, but also check PayPal recurring payments

Can't find the cancel button? You're probably billed through a third party. Check your billing info carefully.

Cancel on Crunchyroll Website (Direct Billing)

Fastest option if you subscribed directly through Crunchyroll: Takes 5 minutes, processes immediately.

Desktop/Browser Instructions:

Go to crunchyroll.com and log in

Use your Crunchyroll username and password (or your old Funimation credentials if your account was migrated).

Click your profile icon (top-right corner)

Select "My Account" from the dropdown menu.

Navigate to Subscription Info

Look in the left sidebar under the "General" section.

Click "Cancel Membership"

If you don't see this button, you're billed through a third party—skip to the appropriate method below.

Follow the cancellation prompts

Crunchyroll may offer alternatives (pause subscription, different plan). You can decline and proceed with cancellation.

Save your confirmation

Screenshot the confirmation page. Check your email for the cancellation confirmation. This is your proof.

Important: Canceling stops future charges but you keep access until your current billing period ends. If you canceled on March 15th and your billing date is March 1st, you have access until March 31st.

Cancel Through Apple Store

If you subscribed through the Crunchyroll iOS app, your subscription is managed by Apple, not Crunchyroll.

On iPhone or iPad

1. Open Settings app (not the Crunchyroll app)
2. Tap your name/Apple ID at the top
3. Select "Subscriptions"
4. Find Crunchyroll in your subscription list
5. Tap "Cancel Subscription"
6. Confirm your cancellation

On Mac

1. Open the App Store app
2. Click your profile icon at the bottom of the sidebar
3. Click "View Information" at the top
4. Scroll to "Subscriptions" and click "Manage"
5. Find Crunchyroll and click "Edit"
6. Click "Cancel Subscription"

Cancel Through Google Play

For Android users who subscribed through the Crunchyroll app:

1. Open the Google Play Store app
2. Tap your profile icon (top-right)
3. Select “Payments & subscriptions”
4. Tap “Subscriptions”
5. Find Cruchyroll and tap it
6. Tap “Cancel Subscription”
7. Follow the prompts to confirm

Cancel Through Other Platforms (Amazon or Roka)

Amazon Prime Video Channels

1. Go to amazon.com/channels
2. Find Crunchyroll under "Your Channels"
3. Click "Cancel Channel"
4. Confirm cancellation

Roku Pay

1. Visit my.roku.com on your browser
2. Sign in and go to "Manage your subscriptions"
3. Find Crunchyroll
4. Click "Turn off auto-renew" or "Unsubscribe"

PayPal Subscriptions

If you pay through PayPal, cancel on Crunchyroll first (Method 1), then:

1. Log into your PayPal account
2. Go to Settings → Payments → Manage automatic payments
3. Find Crunchyroll
4. Click "Cancel" and confirm

Double-check PayPal: Even after canceling on Crunchyroll, verify the recurring payment is actually stopped in your PayPal account.

What Happens After You Cancel?

Your access continues until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you cancel on March 15th and your billing date is March 1st, you keep access until March 31st.

Your account becomes free (with ads). After your paid period ends, your account automatically converts to Crunchyroll’s free tier. You’ll have limited access to the library with ads.

Your watch history and watchlist are saved. Unlike canceling completely, these remain in your account if you want to resubscribe later.

No refunds for unused time. Crunchyroll doesn’t prorate or refund the remainder of your billing cycle.

Want to Delete Your Funimation Account?

So first of all, you can’t delete your “Funimation” account but you can delete your Crunchyroll account. Canceling your subscription is different from deleting your account. If you want your data completely removed:

1. Cancel your subscription first (to stop charges)
2. Wait for your paid period to end
3. Go to Account Settings → Privacy → "Delete My Account"
4. Follow the prompts and confirm via email

Warning: Account deletion is permanent. All your watch history, ratings, and preferences will be erased. You can't recover this data.

Alternatives to Crunchyroll (Because Competition Matters)

With Funimation gone, Crunchyroll controls most of the anime streaming market. But you still have options:

Netflix and Hulu are investing heavily in anime. Their libraries aren't as extensive as Crunchyroll's, but casual fans might not notice the difference—and you get a lot more content for similar or lower prices.
