On March 18th, Funimation had made an announcement that there will be a temporary pause in the production of seasonal simuldubs (simultaneous dub) for anime. This was because they needed time to adjust the simuldub production such that the members could work from home.
They paused the simuldub for the winter season shows, and the current spring season shows as well. The English subbed, simultaneous broadcast releases are continuing as usual.
Funimation also announced that the production staff are “working round the clock” to bring in more dubbed content to the website even amidst the ongoing pandemic.
Along with this announcement, Funimation also released a new episode (episode 84) of the English dubbed version of My Hero Academia.
