BigOnAnime made a list of all of FUNimation's failures for a while, and now that MAL has blog access back, I present their's, and every major anime distributor's failures to you!

Some General Issues
-Since FUNimation launched their EVS (Elite Video Subscription) service in late 2011, streams added from that point on have color range issues that have introduced black and white crush.

-Inconsistency in packaging/releases
-Eco-cases. FUNimation has used these for years, and at one point stopped using them completely around 2013, however when they released Dangaronpa: The Animation's Limited Edition, it had eco-cases (and also some had the reversible-cover rip due to the security tab in some copies being able to stick to the insert thanks to the eco-case having the holes, and even scratched discs), it had an eco-case. It's now come back randomly.
-Translation quality on simulcasts since the Winter 2014 season has seriously declined.
Shows known for having rather problematic translations: No-Rin (Fixed on home video), Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign, Concrete Revolutio (Daisuki stopped using FUNimation's script midway due to the severity of the errors), HaruChika: Haruta & Chika

Note: I'm perfectly aware some of these are honestly nitpicks, but some of these are some serious issues. This also demonstrates that something seriously has gone wrong at FUNimation. Most of the stuff from say 2007-2012 or so are honest mistakes (every company makes mistakes at some point, this is irrefutable fact), but as you can see, in 2016 there was TONS of stuff I found problematic, far more than I could have possibly imagined when I first made this list. Also, this is in no way comprehensive for stuff before 2015, though I honestly doubt there's nearly as much stuff.
