Psycho-Pass, Hellsing and several isekai titles from Funimation's catalogue will make their Crunchyroll debut in June.
Crunchyroll revealed on its website the next batch of previously Funimation-exclusive titles that will now be available on its streaming platform. The new titles include both seasons of the critically acclaimed Psycho-Pass, a psychological thriller from Production IG (Ghost in the Shell) about a team of police officers who try to prevent crimes before they happen. The gory action-series Hellsing and Hellsing Ultimate will also be added to Crunchyroll's library, as will several shows from the isekai subgenre, such as Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest and the English dub for the first season of Restaurant to Another World.

Other highlights from next month's schedule include Super Cub, a slice-of-life series about a group of girls who form a connection over their shared love of Honda Super Cub motorcycles, and How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom, another isekai series which focuses on its protagonist's attempts to rebuild a kingdom within a high fantasy world using his knowledge of Machiavellianism.This is the third batch of Funimation titles to be brought over to the Crunchyroll platform. The two companies were previously competitors in the anime streaming market until Sony, which assumed ownership of Funimation in 2017, also acquired Crunchyroll in 2021. The tech conglomerate reportedly paid over $1.1 billion USD for Crunchyroll, which as of 2021 boasted over 5 million paid subscribers worldwide. In March, Funimation announced that it will no longer add new titles to its streaming service and began the process of moving over its library to its former competitor. Physical releases from Funimation will now also carry the Crunchyroll branding as Sony consolidates all of its anime properties under a single brand.Source: Crunchyroll
