Funimation free trial - everything you need to know in 2021

A Funimation free trial is the best way to watch the latest subbed and dubbed anime series and OVA online. While you can stream a few shows free of charge - without a subscription - you're heavily limited as to what's available in the Funimation library, and what's open to you is abound with advertising of all kinds impeding your viewing experience. 

The preferred way, therefore, to get your anime fix (in all its intricacies) is by getting yourself a subscription to Funimation Premium, which comes in three distinctive plans (if you're based in the US) - all of which include a Funimation free trial for all new subscribers. 

Fumination - Free Trial

Funimation is currently offering a 14-day free trial that comes as standard when you subscribe to any plans, or you can give the service a try risk-free without committing to Funimation Premium just yet. 

Maybe you're a hardcore otaku; keen on all the latest and greatest (subbed only) releases, or perhaps you prefer something a little more old-school - Shonen Jump -where a dub or two is fine by you. 

Regardless of your taste or preference, Funimation claims that its service has an estimated 15,000 hours worth of anime series, movies and OVAs to indulge in. Standout new additions to the line-up include the latest season of My Hero Academia, Black Clover and The Duke of Death and his Maid.

Fumination Plans

Fumination Premium: The cheapest version of Funimation Plus will run you $5.99 per month and features the full library of subbed and dubbed anime library across two simultaneous devices, such as PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch or your smartphone of choice. 

Fumination Premium Plus: For $7.99 per month, you get everything that's included in the premium plan as well as support for streaming on up to five simultaneous devices at the same time as well as downloads for offline viewing and members-only benefits. If you're someone that watches a lot of anime on the go, or wants to be able to hot-swap between their phone and games console around the house easily, this is the plan we'd personally recommend. 

Fumination Premium Plus Ultra: Paying monthly isn't going to be for everyone. If you'd rather just pay one lump sum, this plan has an asking price of $99.99 per year which is otherwise virtually identical to Premium Plus, but includes a couple of annual perks for members. As it's virtually the same price - give or take $4 - we would suggest considering what's easier out of these two for you from a convenience point of view. 

Keep in mind that these different plans are only available in the US. If you're based somewhere such as the UK, you will only have the Funimation Premium Plus plan to go for, which will run you £4.99 per month. The service is currently only available in the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
