This could be interesting. "Interesting", not necessarily good, since their streaming platform is... flawed, shall we say?
But I hope they announce some good titles. |

I haven't had a problem with Funimation's streaming platform, but that's not to say your criticism isn't valid. What I would note is that their platform is likely optimized for video-on-demand streaming, not live event streaming, so they might not want to even use what they currently have. Either that, or they'll have to get good at livestreaming before July. Anime Lockdown simply used Twitch and YouTube, which solves the problem of having a workable live event platform. Unfortunately, YouTube nuked their stream partway through the first day because copyright bots gonna bot. |

Or maybe because they streamed something that broke copyright such as music? I didn't watch so that's why I'm saying "maybe". Avoiding copyright isn't that hard though. Youtube allows for much better quality
What exactly does this mean? Clearly this part won't be "live" at least |

When I asked on Twitter, one response said it was a Devilman clip that got them blocked. |

Anime Lockdown had a seriously awesome showing for an independant gig - the FUNimation Con will have a lot to live up to considering how smooth and complete their whole production ended up being.
We shall see, but I'm hopeful these things will turn out well. |

It is on YouTube. Funniest example first: "Within hours of Toei launching a new channel for free featuring English-subbed episodes of classic tokusatsu shows, YouTube deleted the entire channel due to an abundance of self-copyright strikes against the channel’s content." - https://boundingintocomics.com/2020/04/07/toei-launches-toei-tokusatsu-world-official-youtube-channel-channel-removed-immediately-for-copyright-strikes/ https://juliareda.eu/2017/09/when-filters-fail/ https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2019/05/22/why-youtube-makes-so-many-copyright-mistakes/ My own, relatively minor experience with this is that after I uploaded videos of my university's music students performing public domain classical pieces, the videos were identified as containing copyrighted recordings owned by a classical record label. I was able to get the claims removed, but if it had been a live stream? RIP. |

Yeah, Youtube is swarming with copyright bots, most of them acting in bad faith to boot. Most likely they'll just use Twitch (CR uses that for their livestreams) or their own service if they have one.

Missed opportunity to call it "FUNicon".

It's really easy to file false DMCAs on YouTube, and it's set up in a way to basically punish the content creator immediately until they can prove it was a false strike. YouTube streaming is pretty jank as is even without the risks of demonitization or copyright flags. As for the con.. eh. Seems like it'll just be a bunch of self promotion and going to be limited specifically to Funimation licenses and people. But I guess it'll appeal to certain people and it's not like there's any real conventions going on anyway. |

They did not miss it. "FUNicon" is in fact written in katakana right below the con's name in the teaser image. |

Kind of wondering what they'll have to announce here. Maybe the dub cast for Kaguya-sama or what they have planned for the current season?
Announcing Summer licenses seems like a gamble at this stage. |

I wonder if they'll give any updates on streaming Robotech they announced months ago and it's been silence since then?

I'm pretty sure Harmony Gold and Sony have some kind of tiff going because they announced Robotech streaming on another service called FilmRise recently. Feels like that deal has sailed because of something we don't know about. Plus, who the hell wants to watch Shadow Chronicles and The Sentinels? One has awful CGI and a boring plot and the other one is a failed pilot. |
