Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Nets You 2 Months of Funimation Premiun Plus (If subscribed by Oct 25th) News
https://comicbook.com/anime/amp/news/microsoft-xbox-funimation-premium-plus-anime-gaming-promotion/?__twitter_impression=true Seems kind of significant, as Funimation is owned by Sony.

Sony's other businesses have rarely intersected with their games business. That has been true for nearly two decades. They basically operate independelty. So not really that interesting.
I binge watched my hero in like 3 days this week and immediately felt gross. But my god man; that anime is nearly at Naruto levels of hype. What a good dub. Just watched uzaki-Chan wants to hang out yesterday and that was pretty tight too. I laughed hysterically. Wonder if I'm strong enough to try dragon ball z. I've always hated it
I might be dense, but how exactly do you activate this offer? I have GPU, but no Xbox yet. Is it only accessible through the console? Do I sign up on Funimation's site using my Xbox-affiliated login information? The tweet in the OP is just a picture, so I feel like I'm missing something.
edit: n/m, found it further down the Twitter thread:

Tried claiming it this morning, but there are more steps to it than just "claiming it." Have to create a Funinmation profile for a free trial and insert your credit card and if you don't cancel before the trial expires, they will charge you, etc etc. All while using the Edge browser on the Xbox console as of right now. Wish it was easier.
Time to rewatch Tenchi again.
I already have a funimation sub, just saying, it's time.
Tenchi Forever and the Tenchi OVA "Ultimate Edition" box set were the first anime DVDs I ever bought. I got them in like late 2000 or early 2001. The OVAs and "Universe" series were among my favorite series back in the very early 00s. I still remember watching the Tenchi Muyo in Love film on the Sci-fi Channel back in the late 90s, and then catching it when it appeared on Toonami back in the summer of 2000. Anyone remember this promo?
Hard to believe it's been 20 years since then. That was half my life ago.
Pretty sure we're the same person haha
Totally had the $120 OVA box set with the cool Pioneer ads that were just a still image and written text.
Got all the movies and I love Universe.
I only bought one disc of Tenchi in Tokyo as the series didn't click for me.
Tenchi Forever is such a brave direction for the series.
And yes, I was driving around in a Toyota Camry bumping the soundtrack.
I nearly made a post in July about it's 20th anniversary.
Still love the show. And I'm still rockin that English dub like it 1999 lol
Check out this amazing site, still frozen in time.

Nah, in select countries that Funimation is available in.
Should be US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand
Not showing up here in the UK. I'll give it a bit as someone said they got it in Ireland.
Stuff like this probably won't seem so surprising over time. It's early days but Microsoft and Sony have a growing partnership.
All of Sony's different divisions are run pretty independently from each other, and Funimation has no reason to keep content off Xbox. It's like how Sony Music published Switch games.
I signed up for it the other day, gonna go through all of the Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, etc series...relive my childhood, coming home from school and turning on Toonami
-looks at avatar- hmm...can't tell if joking or not. Need more evidence.
You know what? That'd be pretty hype, not gonna lie. Game Pass insurance? Probably quite a few regional health insurance companies with a lot less than 15 million subs - plus they're probably relatively younger and healthier (though I hear gaming is a risk factor for slovenliness and obesity and proclivities toward violence and mental health issues..... ....... ........................).
We've found the imposter! Wait shoot, no, everyone's already been murdered... by ANIME.I've been rumbled
Heh, I thought the same. But this is obviously confirmation that MS is buying Funimation, so.. ;)
I'm curious as to which companies you all work for, and if you regularly interact with people from adjacent companies that are owned by one larger company at the top.
It would, but these deals aren't that, they're simply designed to get you used to having the channel/service there for months and once it's in your routine and you already have your parment set up it's easy to just end up sliding into the subscription, even if it's just for a few extra months. Netflix got me via PSN the same way thanks to all the kids stuff my son could access whenever. Fucking worst freebie I ever got.
Microsoft going hard and I gotta respect that. Might have to really consider gamepass since it's available on PC as well. Didn't think I'd wind up in their ecosystem again after the disastrous Xbone reveal years ago.
This is -signifiacntly- more proof that Sony is going third party than the Blue Xbox Controller being proof that Microsoft is buying Sega!
