FUNimation brought its streaming video player back online earlier today. The player is still undergoing maintenence, though most of the titles that FUNimation previously offered are available. The only title not on the service is One Piece, which is on hold until further notice.

Gen Fukunaga, FUNimation's CEO, acknowledged that the company's video player setup led to inadvertent exposure of episodes of One Piece and Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~ before they aired on Japanese television. The player was pulled offline to implement required security improvements, and had been testing until today.
