The Winter 2021 anime season is starting to wrap up and the Spring 2021 season is coming very soon. Over the past couple of months Funimation has referenced new titles for their Spring line-up here and there, and now they have officially revealed their first batch with airing dates.

Many of these titles will also stream exclusively on their platform. This line-up will have more titles added down the line including potential additions from Aniplex of America’s catalogue.

Plus, in case you missed it, Funimation’s app is now available on Nintendo Switch for the United Kingdom and Ireland territories. The app has been redesigned which is reportedly much better than the infamous PlayStation 4 app (which was known for being unplayable for an entire year at one point and broken on many occasions).

Simulcast

Joining the simulcasts are a select number of anime that will be streaming on Funimation in Japanese audio with English subtitles for the United Kingdom, Ireland, United States, Canada, Mexico and Brazil (as well as Australia and New Zealand via AnimeLab).
