They didn't tho. Crunchyroll was the acquired one, Funimation just valued their own streaming platform less.
Ah so its a Boeing / McDonnel Douglas situation.
McDonnel Douglas more or less bought a controlling amount of shares in Boeing, then the two merged with technically Boeing purchasing McDonnel Douglas, but in functional reality nearly all Boeing management retired or was forced out, leaving McDonnel Douglas upper management in charge, but they went with the name Boeing because it had better reputation at the time.
Well, then I guess its a shame crunchyroll's name has been besmirched, back to rigging the main sails.
Tbh I've always streamed anime in particular. Buying anything other than the Blu-Ray isn't as likely to encourage a next season of my favorite shows.
