The new PS4 app introduces a long list of new features including video queuing, history syncing with FUNimation.com, autoplay, search capability and episode progress bar indicators. Users of the app will enjoy intelligent bookmarking so they will never have to remember where they left off in a series. FUNimation has also upgraded its current PS3™ app to mirror the PS4 version along with the addition of remote control support.

"We offer fans the ability to watch their anime wherever and whenever they want -- and we are pleased to offer this additional viewing platform to better serve their lifestyles," said Gen Fukunaga, CEO of Group 1200 Media, parent company of FUNimation Entertainment.
