Crunchyroll, LLC, previously known as [=FUNimation=] Productions, [=FUNimation=] Entertainment and Funimation Global Group, is an anime dubbing and distribution company owned by Creator/SonyPicturesTelevision. It is currently based in Coppell, Texas, a suburb of the [[UsefulNotes/DFWMetroplex Dallas[=/=]Fort Worth Metroplex]]. Founded by Gen Fukunaga on May 9, 1994, the company rose to prominence by acquiring the rights to the popular anime title ''Anime/DragonBallZ'', its predecessor series ''Manga/DragonBall'' and its sequel series ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' as a way to survive [[TheNineties the early 1990s]] minor recession. By 1999, they gained widespread television exposure via Creator/CartoonNetwork and the ''Dragon Ball'' phenomenon belatedly yet quickly grew in the United States as it had elsewhere, to the point that the company openly describes itself as "the house that ''Dragonball'' built". Two previous attempts by Funimation to release ''Dragon Ball'' to network television had previously been cancelled, before the series and the company found success on Cartoon Network. Over time, it's found success with other anime like the two ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' series and ''Manga/YuYuHakusho''.
From The90s to the TurnOfTheMillennium, Funimation was a respectably sized anime distributor. However, by 2009, Funimation bought up titles from Creator/ADVFilms, Creator/{{Geneon}}, and Creator/BandaiEntertainment, and soon came to dominate the North American anime market: the saying became that other companies can only buy licenses that Funimation had passed on after deeming them not worth the investment. By TheNewTens, the only other large distributors are (more or less) Creator/VizMedia (which is also a major manga distributor) and Creator/SentaiFilmworks (a successor company for the remnants of ADV), but they used to have a small fraction of the market share that Funimation enjoys. Yet Sentai and newcomer Creator/AniplexUSA have risen tremendously and Funi's own share of the market and titles have decreased significantly. Also, Creator/NozomiEntertainment, Creator/DiscotekMedia, and Platform/{{Crunchyroll}} (starting in 2016, [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-07-01/crunchyroll-to-dub-release-anime-on-bd-dvd/.103876 due to actually starting to fund dubs in addition to home video releases]]) have also chipped away at Funimation's monopoly.
