I wonder about this as well, because it does not seem to me that Funi and Crunchy each have the “certain something” that the other is lacking. While I have noticed that the Funi/Crunchy streaming exclusives have divided the fandom, I doubt that the price paid to unite all the streaming offerings (if even this deal does that) will be worth it, because Sony will want to get its billion back and we pay the freight.
Is this going to be a “Corporate Thunderdome” where two companies enter but only one company leaves (eg: T-Mobile vs Sprint), or will both brands live on as nominally independent entities (eg: Bass Pro & Cabela’s)?

Some folks I’ve seen online really want that FuniRoll to bring in more LA dubs. Me, I’d prefer more Funi dubs. Though I’ll concede that Funi already had more than it could truly dub prior to the merger.
Listing the actors is fun, but Crunchy doesn’t tell us the more important part, which is the dub studio + the dub director + scriptwriter.
For the most part, I haven’t been enthralled with Crunchy dubs of late.

Ohhh noes, what’s gonna happen to HiDive?
Why, nothing, of course, because otherwise our fine, fail-proof regulators down in DC would have put the kibosh on this deal as it would have truly monopolized anime streaming? 
Hopefully it means nothing bad, but I am also curious about this.

Chill with Hime and Put on Crunchyroll’s Anime Vibes Music Playlist

I was hoping the High Guardian Spice would fall through. It’s not too late, CR could memory-hole it and try and get more fan goodwill by commissioning actual-anime-ish projects like Fena.
HGS looks like an American cartoon and, based on their August 2021 trailer, it looks like American cartoons like Amphibia are gonna flex on it. 
Releasing it in Fall 2021 reminds me that it would have been kinda neat if Crunchy had made High Guardian Spice as an anime version of Dune to coincide with the Dune reboot movie. I’m know that The Spice Must Flow, but maybe not this Spice?
