It's been a long time coming, but Sony's Funimation is finally absorbing Crunchyroll while taking on the more popular name Crunchyroll for the brand, making things more confusing than they need to be. It appears Sony feels Crunchyroll is a more recognizable moniker, so even though this merger sounds like Crunchyroll is taking over, it's actually the other way around despite how Crunchyroll will retain its apps as Funimation's services disappear (as if the name change wasn't confusing enough). Sadly, the merger will affect users, especially those who have invested real dollars in content on Funimation.
