Update: Funimation originally stated to ANN that it was planning on streaming "Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Films," but an updated announcement removed the word "films." Also we removed mention of "Natsume's Book of Friends original video anime" from the article as Funimation released the Natsume Yūjin-Chō: Ishi Okoshi to Ayashiki Raihōsha film as two OVAs.
