As Funimation drama unravels, here’s a reminder for you that yt-dlp is able to download Funimation videos. Use that opportunity to preserve your collections before they’re gone! (and keep them forever and ever)
Credits to humble jbk@discuss.tchncs.de who brought that up!
Your URL just links to an image of Funimation. Was this meant to link to something else like a tutorial?
Link in post links to their github to me. They probably made it an image post to have the funimation image in the post :)
I do this for music, have a tiny batch script that I mostly borrowed from some other stack exchange post that I just dump the URL and the name of the file and it converts it to mp3 and dumps it into a folder. I use it to get music to DJ with for small house parties. yt-dlp is great highly recommend it for anyone
all front ends for yt-dlp

yt-dlp is amazing, it’s just magical and works everywhere!
Yeah for doing batch stuff. I’d like to be able to say copy and paste 15 different playlists, deselect some of the videos in them, and be able to walk away from my computer.
What drama?
Sony owns both Crunchyroll and Funimation. Sony is consolidating Funimation into Crunchyroll, but they are not preserving people’s digital collections. People are losing access to the digital collections they purchased on Funimation even though Sony isn’t going out of business.
Is crunchyroll in eu? Cause they are required to maintain the library, I’m sure
Not a lawyer but it seems in lot of EU cases companies, e.g Apple or Facebook, go with 2 versions, i.e one for EU customers and one (usually the bad one) for others. I’d bet in the case either they pay the fine or make 2 versions.
