    With the backing of Funimation, anime fans will have better access to more content in the future. Future packages and plans might be better now. It might even open up more regions now and not get content blocked.

    Since Funimation is under Sony Pictures, some jokingly speculate that it will be part of PlayStation Plus. That would be a good idea though.
