Line 11:
** For older licenses that get picked up and later have new sequels, Funimation is typically really good about bringing back the original voice actors to reprise their roles despite living outside of Texas. ''[[Bayonetta]]: Bloody Fate'', ''[[BlazBlue]]: Alter Memory'', ''[[Code Geass]]: Akito the Exiled'', ''[[Eureka Seven AO]]'', ''[[Neptunia]]'', ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]]'' and ''[[Trigun]]: Badlands Rumbles'' all saw most, if not all, the cast reprising their roles.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Given the company's highly centralized talent roster, anyone who watches more than a couple of their dubs will start to recognize their regulars, and is probably the one complaint fans have with them. They do occasionally spring for new talent, however.
* [[Money, Dear Boy]]: The reason why their best actors only appear to stick around at Funimation for a handful of years. The most popular actors in the dub of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|Fullmetal Alchemist (2003)]]'' are all now in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, dubbing anime pays very little compared to other acting jobs, and most like to reach for union jobs instead of Funimation's non-union ones.
* [[No Export for You]]: Arguably the worst offender of this in Latin America. Unlike UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand which Funimation gives rights to local companies to distribute their titles, Latin America receives the worst treatment by Funimation, specially when simulcast rights are announced. Until the Crunchyroll and Funimation alliance, it was rumored that Funimation have rights for Latin America, however, its not the case for certain titles. However, there're other titles that are owned by Funimation for Latin America that people in that region can't watch for many years and, as of this day, can't figure which are.
** However, this was averted with the second season of ''[[Attack on Titan (anime)|Attack on Titan]]''. It was revealed that Funimation owns the rights for that season for Latin America and English speaking regions and now it's available on Crunchyroll.
* [[Old Shame]]: There are several anime series Funimation licensed over the years they are not proud of. ''[[Mamotte! Lollipop]]'' is one of them. Anime fans who've seen it tend to agree with them.
* [[One of Us]]: Many of the staff and voice actors who worked with Funimation are anime, video games and comic book geeks themselves. Some of them are deviantARTists themselves like [https://web.archive.org/web/20170115054230/http://maioceaneyes.deviantart.com/ Micah Solusod] and (formerly) [https://web.archive.org/web/20111122155215/http://lexchan.deviantart.com/ Alexis Tipton]. The reason many of them can scream for hours on end in shonen shows is because guys like Chris Sabat and Justin Cook, two of the original employees, were in rock bands for years prior.
