Funimation has one of the largest streaming libraries out there, and it is getting even bigger thanks to a new deal. The company has announced its new partnership deal with NIS America which will bring 19 fan-favorite series from the latter to Funimation's streaming platform. These classic titles will bring some of anime's best series to life on Funimation NOW, and it seems the first batch of shows will begin airing this week.

In a statement shared earlier today, Funimation championed its work with NIS America as a win for anime fans around the United States. "Funimation, the leading global anime content provider, has teamed up with NIS America to bring 19 of NIS America's most popular anime to Funimation's streaming service," the company explained.

"From the magic of the original Cardcaptor Sakura series to Toradora!, Funimation is delivering even more for fans to enjoy. Teaming with NIS America is part of Funimation's commitment to offer the best anime to fans. Funimation's streaming service has over 700 anime series and 13,000+ hours of both new and classic must-view anime."
