Sony rly wants that Shiren the Wanderer money lol.

Nah but tbh besides FromSoftware and the fact that we know that giant acquisitions are bad for the industry, Sony already owns way, way, waaaaaaay to much stuff in the anime/manga space.

This shouldn't happen.

My main issue with Sony being so prevalent in the Anime industry is how happy they are to censor Japanese media

The moment Sony loses interest in anime it's going to be unbelievably devastating for that industry.

I really hope it won't go through in the end. Sony has probably no interest in publishing visual novels. It could be really bad on the gaming side on this acquisition. And yeah they own almost all Anime already

God please don't

Ah Sony, the Microsoft of the east. No, that's not a compliment 🙃

Ugh. Please no.

Don't like this one bit

Sony whining for absolute years against the buyout of ABK (which is not good. Still being helmed by Bobby would not have been good either, remember people have died and there's lawsuits about that)

And then doing this.

Just on the anime monopoly side of things this never should happen.
