Important to know, but is this really relevant to anime?

[–] SatouKazuma@ani.social 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It would pretty much give Sony complete control of the industry through ownership of Aniplex and Kadokawa. BD prices would skyrocket...

Sony also owns Crunchyroll for digital distribution.

CR falls under the Aniplex umbrella I believe.

Yup :/

I might quit consuming animanga if this goes through and JNC folds into Bookwalker.

Yes. Kadokawa has several anime studio subsidiaries, and also publishes manga.

Here is the list of anime that Kadokawa produced. I'm sure you would know many anime on the list.
