Got a Funimation charge you didn’t expect? Follow these simple steps to cancel now and ask about a refund without the back-and-forth.


Funimation was an anime streaming service with plans that auto-renew each billing cycle until you turn them off. Many accounts have moved to Crunchyroll. You can cancel on the web if billed directly, or in your app store or provider account if you subscribed there. If your plan has migrated, you may need to manage it in your Crunchyroll account instead.

HOW TO CANCEL FUNIMATION: STEP BY STEP


Where you cancel depends on where you started. Direct-billed users cancel on the Funimation website. If your subscription has already moved to Crunchyroll, cancel in your Crunchyroll account. If you subscribed through Apple, Google Play, Roku, Amazon, a console store, or a TV/provider bundle, cancel in that source.


  1. Web (direct billing): Sign in at the Funimation website and open Account or Billing.

  2. Go to Subscription, Plan, or Manage Subscription.

  3. Select your Funimation plan.

  4. Choose Cancel Subscription, Turn off auto-renew, or a similar option.

  5. Follow the prompts and confirm cancellation.

  6. Check for a confirmation email and note your end date.

  7. Reopen Account > Subscription to verify it shows Canceled or Expires on [date].

  8. If your plan migrated to Crunchyroll: Sign in at crunchyroll.com > Account > Membership and cancel there.

  9. Apple billing (iPhone/iPad/Mac): Settings (or App Store) > your name > Subscriptions > Funimation (or Crunchyroll if migrated) > Cancel. Refunds are handled by Apple.

  10. Google Play billing (Android): Google Play > profile icon > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions > Funimation/Crunchyroll > Cancel.

  11. Roku billing: On your Roku device, highlight the channel > press * > Manage subscription > Cancel, or cancel from your Roku account online.

  12. Amazon billing: Manage under your Amazon account (Memberships & Subscriptions) or in the Amazon Appstore Subscriptions.

  13. Console store (PlayStation/Xbox): Cancel in the console’s subscriptions/billing section tied to your gamer account.
