No, I was wanting to know if they only have some anime as dubbed and not available on the subbed only plan. I don't really care about watching anime dubbed or not. It's not a strong selling point for me. I was just making sure because I'm about to get the annual subscription. 

Is the vids buffering some while you're watching it normal while using the PS4 app?

I don't think there are many subbed anime on Funimation that aren't on the basic package, if any at all. I remember trying to watch the Psycho Pass movie there one time, and didn't have access to it, but looking again it looks like it only has a link to buy the DVD anyway, premium or not.

I'm really not a fan of the service though. The website is slow as hell, and the app isn't much better. Last anime I watched through the PS4 app, it constantly defaulted me to the dubbed version every episode (apparently I'm a premium member without realizing it...not sure how that happened), and the captioning on the subbed episodes looked like Closed Captioning on cable TV, with an annoying black box and generic white font that lagged behind the dialogue by like a second, which just ruined certain comedy scenes. It really feels like they gimp their subbed anime to the point where people feel forced to watch dubs.

I'm probably going to cancel my Funi subscription and switch to Amazon Strike. Not that I can't afford all three (including Crunchyroll), just don't see any value in keeping subs I never use, and every Funimation anime I care about is on Crunchyroll now anyway. Seems like Strike is being more aggressive lately with picking up certain shows.

Anyways...new poll on Friday. If you have an idea for a poll let me know...otherwise I'll come up with something ramdom.
