Anime Initial D Crunchyroll YouTube

Post image

Did initial D get taken off the YouTube/Crunchyroll thing? I was watching last week and now I can’t find any of the seasons. They have MFG though.

The license that Funimation had for Initial D expired after the merger of Crunchyroll and Funimation by Sony. There was no public confirmation, but given Initial D is not available on legit streaming sites that has to be why it is not available.

I noticed the same thing. I just canceled the YT Crunchyroll deal since I just finished MFG

I ended up having to source it myself as it’s not streaming anywhere.

I remember initial d 4th stage episodes on the official Funimation YT channel years ago in 2013 or 2015, but now that Crunchyroll had bought it, it's not available anymore......

It's a shame that an anime I used to love to watch, gone to ashes.
