How to watch Funimation outside the US

What is Funimation, and how can I watch it?
“Dubs not subs!” I hear you cry! Well, we’ve got an answer to your quandary that delivers just what you’re looking for.
It’s a long-fought argument, which way fans should experience anime—having the audio dubbed into English, or the translation of the script turned into subtitles.
We’re quite happy to leave the choice to each and every one of you.
Funimation is an anime streaming service that concentrates on dubbing the majority of their catalogue for the English speaking market. It’s a great way to dig into anime without having to focus your attention on subtitles. Instead, you get to soak up all of the glorious visuals that your favourite anime features have to offer.
Funimation is adding new shows to their catalogue all the time; with episodes for many popular series updating as soon as they do in their native country. There are plenty of SimulDub and SimulCast shows on hand, so you won’t have to miss a beat.
If you’re in the mood for traditional anime classics, check out Assassination Classroom, Claymore or Cowboy Bebop. Are you into Japanese folklore? Get yourself a dose of Afro Samurai, Fruits Basket, or Laughing Under the Stars.
In fact, Funimation will recommend top titles for whatever you’re in the mood for—from tearjerkers, family-friendly titles, micro shows, meca shows, high school shows, or something fuelled by doom and gloom. They’ll highlight the best of strong female leads, and introduce you to something from their hidden gems list.
If you prefer your anime with its original audio and are happy to read your way through their subtitles, head over to our page about Crunchyroll. They’re your prime option for subs over dubs, if you like to keep things nice and pure.
How can I watch US TV shows with StreamLocator?
StreamLocator provides you with a virtual location so that the streaming services’ servers believe you’re in the USA.
Our smart router communicates with each set of servers to find out what type of workaround is the best one for their technology. Then, it delivers a location to match where you need to be to access their channels and shows.
No complicated settings or software installation required
StreamLocator doesn’t work like other geo-tracking workaround services. What makes our process different is that our subscribers don’t need to download, install, or use any software.
For anyone logging on using different devices, you can skip downloading the VPN or Smart DNS apps for each of them, and having to remember to turn them on whenever you want to access your favourite shows.
You don’t have to change or add any complicated DNS settings either.
Ours is a super-simple plug-and-play setup. We believe it’s the best way to watch geo-location blocked TV you could hope to find.
Because our system works with your WiFi router, it automatically covers all of your Internet-enabled devices. That’s right, without lifting a finger, your smart TV, Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, your games consoles, Android and iOS tablets and mobile phones, will all automatically skip the location blocks provided by your streaming services.
Clever huh?
What’s better, is that unlike those VPN services with slow servers, your streaming speeds aren’t ever affected. It’s always on, working in the background, without you even knowing. You won’t be limited to 1 or 2 connections—you can have as many as you like.
If you need a different geographical location for further devices in every room in your home, it isn’t a problem for StreamLocator.
How to watch Funimation from outside the USA
Funimation uses geo-location technology to prevent viewers outside of their permitted regions from accessing their shows. The most popular methods of getting around those blocks, until now, have been subscribing to VPN or Smart DNS services.
These services hide your true location, delivering a virtual substitute of wherever you need to be.
How to register for Funimation from outside the USA
All you need to get started is an email address. With a free account, you’ll have access to a good selection of ad-supported shows and movies.
If you’d like access the full library of over 100,000 episodes, and watch them ad-free, you’ll need to opt for their Premium Plus service.
If you don’t have a US credit/debit or payment option for the services that require one—don’t worry! Follow our simple instructions and use a prepaid Statescard for your subscription.
Do you need a VPN or DNS to watch Funimation from outside the USA?
You need some form of location workaround to access Funimation’s shows. Whether you choose to use a VPN or Smart DNS system is up to you.
We’re working on adding Funimation to our list of available streaming services, and just as soon as we do, you’ll be able to crack their blocks using StreamLocator, too.
Will StreamLocator allow me to watch Funimation for free?
Our system convinces overseas servers that you’re where they need you to be to gain access—but that’s all. You’ll still get the same free shows that you would if you were in the US, but if you want to drop the ads, and gain access to their Premium Plus content, you’ll have to subscribe as normal.
