Kadokawa is massive, this would give Sony an even bigger bite into the anime industry. This + their ownership of studios like A1, Cloverworks and Aniplex, they can almost adapt whatever they want and however they want at this point

R.I.P. Anime

This will be a massive blow to anime if this deals goes through. They regulate what goes in and out if Sony acquired Kadokawa.

i wish they dont succeed

That’s alot of anime from the fantasy genre.. luckily my favs ain’t up there

Sony has shares in Madhouse so…

It's better if they stay separated. Sony own Crunchy and what we got? Shitty AI translated subs. Graphical censoring and rewriting text lines.

PLUS!! They own Crunchyroll as well. This is bad for the Anime overall since Sony will turn Kadokawa more into the "Corporate" they themselves are.. NOT TO MENTION; • Sony is fine censoring stuff if it means reaching a wider audience. • Sony will also likely Axe projects that are doing "okayish" and "just fine". In favour of Anime/Light Novel that are profiting them like crazy.

Sony and Kadokawa merging sounds like a final form of a final boss Like, bro, a lot of series I like is on their hands and they are already quite evil

praying that this doesnt go through. dont need dei slop in my cute girls doing cute things anime

They will open up a branch in California and then for no reason at all the original studio in Japan will close down.
