Funimation, founded way back in 1994, became a giant in anime streaming. But with the big merger causing most of its library to move to Crunchyroll, a lot of people are confused and looking to cancel. Are you one of them? Maybe you're just tired of paying for a service you don't use. Subscriptions run from $5.99 to about $8.33 per month, so you can save up to $100 a year by cancelling. This guide covers how to cancel on desktop, iOS, and Android so you can stop the charges for good.
How to Cancel Funimation on iPhone (iOS)
If you subscribed to Funimation through the App Store, you have to cancel it through your Apple account. Funimation can't cancel it for you, which is a common point of frustration.
1 Open the Settings App
Find and tap the gray gear icon for Settings on your iPhone's home screen.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are at the very top of the Settings menu. Tap on it to access your Apple ID, iCloud, and other settings.
3 Select Subscriptions
On the Apple ID screen, tap on the Subscriptions option. This will show you all active and expired subscriptions linked to your Apple account.
4 Find and Cancel Funimation
Scroll through the list to find Funimation. Tap on it, then select the Cancel Subscription button. You'll need to confirm your choice. Your access will continue until the end of the current billing period.
How to Cancel Funimation on Android
Canceling on Android is managed through the Google Play Store, not the Funimation app itself. This catches a lot of people off guard.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device. It's the primary place for managing app-based subscriptions.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon or initial in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Go to Payments & Subscriptions
From the menu that appears, select Payments & subscriptions. Then, tap on Subscriptions to see a list of all your active services.
4 Locate and Cancel Funimation
Find Funimation in your list of subscriptions and tap on it. Follow the prompts to Cancel subscription. Google will ask for a reason, but you can select any option to proceed.
How to Cancel Funimation on Desktop or Laptop
This method is for subscriptions started directly on the Funimation website. With the ongoing merger into Crunchyroll, this process can sometimes feel a bit clunky.
1 Visit the Funimation Website and Log In
Open your web browser and go to the official Funimation website. Enter your login credentials to access your account.
2 Navigate to Your Account Settings
Once logged in, click on your circular profile icon located in the top-right corner of the page. A dropdown menu will appear. Select My Account.
3 Open the Subscription Tab
In the account settings area, look for a tab or link labeled Subscription. Click it to view your current plan details and billing information.
4 Click the Cancel Link
You should see a Cancel link or button next to your subscription details. Click it. Honestly, sometimes they make this link small and hard to find.
5 Confirm Your Cancellation
Funimation will likely present you with an exit survey or an offer to try and keep you subscribed. You'll need to confirm that you want to cancel. Make sure you click through all the confirmation screens until it's finalized.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
Before you finalize the cancellation, keep a few things in mind:
- No Refunds for Partial Months: Funimation does not offer prorated refunds. If you cancel, you'll retain access to premium features until the end of your current paid billing cycle.
- Your Watch History is Safe: Canceling your subscription does not delete your account. Your watch history, queue, and other preferences will still be there if you decide to resubscribe later.
- No Pause Option: Unfortunately, Funimation does not have a feature to pause your subscription. You either have an active subscription or you don't.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Funimation Subscription?
It can be frustrating when cancellation doesn't go smoothly. Here are a few common issues and how to solve them:
- Can't Find the 'Cancel' Button? If you're on the Funimation website but don't see a cancel option, you likely subscribed through a third party. Check your subscriptions on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store instead.
- Login Problems: If you can't log in, try resetting your password first. If that fails, clearing your browser's cache and cookies or using an incognito window can sometimes fix login glitches.
- The Crunchyroll Merger: The ongoing merger with Crunchyroll has caused some confusion. Your account might have been migrated or linked. If you're having trouble, it might be worth checking your Crunchyroll account status as well.
- Contact Support Directly: When all else fails, submitting a request through Funimation's official help center is your last resort. Be prepared for a potentially slow response time.
