The old Funimation API has gone off the air today. The updated Add-on is still awaiting a PR. Until then, anyone interested whom runs Kodi 16+ Can manually install it from the Repo.

The new FunimationNOW Add-on should have the same look and feel as the application across any device (Firetv/Xbox/Apple may have a different layout).
The new API can be sluggish at times, and they have recently removed the ability to see what genre is show is under in turn they replaced genres with generic show information.

The new API also has distinct Video quality per show, so there is no real way to determine possible resolutions, so a slider has been introduced for a quality percentage. This means, most videos have 10 bitrate options, usually 7-8 are 720 and 9-10 are 1080.

Image quality is a slider as well. Default is 60% which is approx 70k per image. you can reduce it down to 10 which is about 7k per image or 100 which can be 700k per image.

The new UI was needed due to the API changes. There is no distinct way to get video information without individually running an http request for ever single episode.
