The cart is before the horse. The cows have pulled a prodigal son on us. Pigs have flown. I am speaking, of course, of Sony’s recent purchase of Crunchyroll, which effectively cements their monopoly on anime streaming in the United States (to say nothing of our wayward Canadian brothers). But the anime community continues to soldier on, and we here at AniTAY limit our conversation about Funiroll Crunchymation to one segment of this episode to make plenty of room for seasonal discussion, so fear not, dear listeners.
