Why Is Naruto Shippuden Not On Funimation
Naruto Shippuden: Funimation's Biggest Missed Opportunity?
Okay, let's talk about something that's been bugging me for ages. Where is Naruto Shippuden on Funimation? It's like the biggest anime elephant in the room!
We all know Funimation loves its anime. They have a ton of stuff! Yet, somehow, the adventures of a spiky-haired ninja are MIA.
The Streaming Scramble
Seriously, where can you watch Naruto Shippuden? It feels like a constant streaming service shuffle. You check one place, then suddenly it's gone!
Must Read
It's like trying to catch a greased-up Pikachu. Annoying, right? We just want to watch Naruto eat ramen and yell about being Hokage!
Meanwhile, Funimation is over here with…well, other anime. Good anime, sure. But still, where's the dattebayo?
A Conspiracy Theory (Kind Of)
Is there some secret anime war going on we don't know about? Are Funimation and Crunchyroll having a ninja battle over streaming rights? I'm picturing ninjas throwing licensing agreements instead of kunai.
Maybe Orochimaru stole the streaming rights. He probably wants to use Naruto's chakra for... streaming purposes? Makes sense to me!
Okay, I'm kidding (mostly). But seriously, the lack of Naruto Shippuden on Funimation just feels... wrong.
My Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves)
Here's the hot take: Funimation is missing out big time. Naruto is a huge draw.
Think of all the potential subscribers! All the potential ramen-related merchandise sales! They could be swimming in Jutsu-themed swimsuits!
Instead, we're left jumping between platforms. Constantly having to remember passwords. It's exhausting being a ninja fan in the digital age.
The Dubbing Dilemma
I know, I know, some people prefer subs. But the English dub of Naruto Shippuden is iconic. It's part of the experience!
Hearing Naruto's voice actor yell about protecting his friends is just... therapeutic. It's like a warm, chakra-filled hug for your ears.
Funimation is known for its dubs. It feels like a perfect match. But alas, it's a match made in a different streaming service.
A Plea to Funimation (Please Hear Me!)
So, Funimation, if you're listening, please consider adding Naruto Shippuden to your lineup. Do it for the fans.
Do it for the love of ramen. Do it for the glory of the Rasengan! We're begging you!
Until then, I'll just be over here, switching between streaming services. Hoping to one day see Naruto grace the Funimation screen. Wish me luck! (And maybe send ramen.)
