>The most obvious issue is the massive drop in the value of the British Pound Sterling. When licensing a property for distribution in the UK, local publishers must license the show directly from Japan, or sub-license the show from an American company. That means that to make these payments, they have to convert their funds to Japanese Yen or US Dollars -- and the pound buys quite a bit fewer of both, these days. Additionally, some production is done in the US by American partners (either the US publisher, or a US disc author such as myself), and those expenses must be paid in US Dollars as well
>As far as European trade goes, there are currently no Blu-ray replication plants in the UK. All of the discs produced for sale in the UK are actually manufactured in Austria or Poland. If trade with those countries is made subject to additional tariffs or taxes, the prices to replicate those discs will go up further (and those prices will also have been affected by the exchange rate with the Euro). The anime publishers' ability to order additional printings of back catalog discs will be greatly affected, as those are often not sold as quickly as an initial print run. That can make additional printings hard to justify financially. Ultimately, prices may have to rise in order to keep the operation profitable.
Paying more means you have to either work more or buy less, which is less freedom.

Dominic Reed
oh no your currency decreased in value but is still worth more anyway and you have to pay more for localized garbage
poor you
Landon Scott
>still worth more
didn't do too well in economy 101 i take it?
Camden Ross
The pound will go up, the devaluation was a knee jerk reaction of the currencies market, due to the massive fearmongering from Remain, and is already stabilizing.
Good luck getting cucked by the EU in trade as it falls apart you glorious fucking limes.

>Boris Johnson is somehow better than the EU
Parker Walker
They actually finished the week better than where they began in the FTSE
Kayden Bailey
What's a good EU country to move to?
Noah Cook
Is Boris like the Trump of the UK? I've mostly heard negative things about him. Plus he has a really crappy hairstyle.
Joseph Young
>remain damage control is going strong
Angel Johnson
if you have ameribux, convert it to the pound and try london. You can have 3 or 4 flats for the price of a small home in someplace comparable, say san francisco
Julian Sanchez
There isn't one.
Christian Phillips
No, he loves muslims. The only Trump like candidate is the Netherland politician who has a similarly ridiculous hairstyle.
William Cox
>these people that don't know shit about economy think that the current climate is here to stay It's a quarter-long recession, we knew before the referendum that it would happen and that it would climb back up as we stabilized our trade agreements. Obviously it's a bad idea to import things over this summer but people are overreacting. Also, who the fuck buys localized BD releases?
Brayden Myers
none of them, they're all going to shit UK included
the similarity stops at the resemblance, Boris was bearable even fun before this
Luke Perez
so if the britbongs have another brexit to see if they REALLY want to leave, and they do win the leave by a small margin, and if a muslim ends up an elected official, will they kick the queen out?
Connor Hernandez
I'll take boris for a few years over their plans for an EU army and now their plans to federalise they've suddenly revealed.
Logan Hall
doubt we'd do that, she generates an appreciable amount of tourist income
Ryder Barnes
>EU army >plans to federalize
Kevin Nelson
Despite all the media shilling, there will be no second referundum. Boris will become the PM, leave the EU and things will go on as usual. Meanwhile, the EU will try to unite as a mega state by replacing 50% of the population with negroes fresh from Africa.
Kevin Gonzalez
The whole situation with Brexit is a major concern for the moment but just like most other problems in the end it will settle down fairly soon. This is nowhere near the level of the housing crash in the US a while back and probably wont be unless it is handled very poorly.
Charles Hill
Abe is currently shitting his pants trying to devalue the Yen again, and if you look at Forex graphs it looks like the pound didn't drop, but rather returned to where it would have been had there been no referendum at all. I want to say "Don't get your economic news from an anime news website," but I'm on an imageboard, so I don't have much room to argue.
You can be optimistic in the long term, but the Pound got fucking pounded on Monday and it's now even lower than it was the night of the vote. The FTSE isn't doing much better.
A less valuable pound means more investing, especially since everyone knows the EU is going to die and the UK will be just fine, which means major long term investments into the EU won't ever happen because it's got roughly 10 years to live, while the UK isn't going anywhere.
The EU basically wants to became an unelected version of the US federal government, yes.
Dominic Morales
It sure is anime in here.
James Moore
You too.
Jaxon Carter
It concerns my purchasing of anime and anime-related products, so yes, it's pretty anime in here.
Ethan Green
Quick post best girl so this doesn't get deleted I haven't seen a KinMoza thread for a while anyway
Lucas Moore
>quarter-long recession, >as we stabilized our trade agreements More like decade-long. Have fun during those 8 years it'll take to get a new trade agreement with the EU, at the end of which will be one massively in the UK's disfavour.
A European army was first seriously proposed in the freaking 50s, directly after the war. Not a new idea. But posting tabloids as references... are you fucking serious?
No sane person is going to invest in such a climate.
Every policy affecting rights or the economy can be related to anime-related products. It's still very far-fetched.
Jaxon Nelson
>since everyone knows the EU is going to die and the UK will be just fine >being this delusional There's growing uncertainty in the market, and much more so surrounding the UK than the EU. The fact that parliament's apparently just going to sit there with its thumb up its ass until September won't make things easier.
Anthony Ward
Nigel is gonna fund Britain's very own anime industry.

Why is Karen so shit? she ruined the whole episode.

If everyone knows the UK will do great, then why did the currency drop at all?
Leo Gray
Seriously, is there anything that man can't do?
Hunter Gomez
Fail
Thomas Garcia
Because not everyone knows, but everyone that actually pays attention knows.
Julian Ortiz
The fact that Boris realises that a 4% margin of victory does not mean they've won outright is a good thing. He's made a few concessions about the single market which may reassure the market a little.
Alice please
Of course this won't affect most of us here in the slightest, the
Eli Young
>Bluray discussion >Not anime
Oh right, you probably never bought anything from there, you streaming third-worlder
Zachary Scott
Not an argument.
Wyatt Torres
Yeah, everyone informed KNOWS that we're only allowed two years to clear everything up in.
Wait, that makes our position even worse.
Austin Fisher
Jokes on you, this shithole never brings any anime BD's, but they're getting good manga tho I am a Hero and BokuMachi
Austin Adams
fucked up the post *only people who will get BTFO are the providers probably
Luke Long
Another fun fact: The plummet in GBP/JPY also effectively increased the value of all figure collections in the UK by 10-20% if they can find buyers. *Sponsored by Buyfags for Brexit
Blake Lewis
Because a leave vote wasn't priced into the market and it caught everyone by surprise, which means chaos through uncertainty.
There's no magic formula, people just panicked because that's what they do when money is concerned.
Hunter Morris
Seems like literally no one considered the possibility of leave winning. Why is that so?
Blake Smith
>tfw it's cheaper right now to buy from UK based ebay sellers before they put their prices up, than it is to import from Japan I'm going to miss Mandy.
Carson Gray
Because they thought "this would probably be bad for us, surely people would think of us first over their freedom!"
Angel Reed
S-sugoii~
Jeremiah Long
Because it's 2016 ffs.
Jordan Wood
I'm not dumb enough to buy figures in the first place, so this doesn't affect me at all. I can't think of anything more pathetic than filling your house with tacky plastic girls.
Even if I was, I wouldn't do it because of the awful import tax, and shitty shipping costs.
Josiah Green
Which, demonstrably from the state of the currency, is a much much smaller number than those who do not. You are arguing that something driven by a lack of faith in Britain's economy is good, thanks to how it will encourage all of the people who have faith in Britain's economy.
Parker Butler
Oh no, Brits regained their sovereignty but the price of BDs for Chinese cartoons may go up. What a mistake they've made.
I'm British and I voted to Leave and I don't regret it in the slightest.
Cameron Murphy
>He's made a few concessions about the single market Has he? Last thing I heard, he had dreamed up some fairytale arrangement where the UK would get all the benefits of EU membership without any of the costs. This would include freedom of movement for Brits into the EU, but not vice versa. Needless to say, EU diplomats have already ridiculed the idea. The man's either a nutter or a liar, possibly both.
Because the British political class is woefully out of touch with the working class.
Austin Barnes
How can there be uncertainty when everyone knows what a good thing it will be?
Liam Richardson
This is amazing.
Aiden Long
A FUCKING DENTIST
Juan Young
I just want the formation of a european superstate so we can enter the next step of human evolution.
fuck you brits.
Jordan Wood
>He's made a few concessions about the single market That's not how it works. Getting the privilege of access to the single market isn't "making concessions".
Imagine being in a peace conference of two victor parties and one said "we'll take the land around the river, but we'll begrudgingly also take the rich trade cities on the coast." It's absurd.
Isaac Morris
You say you're not dumb, but unless you invested in gold or some shit you just got to watch wealth burn away in your bank account over the week, while buyfags had hundreds of dollars worth of goods that are just as valuable now as they were when the Pound was spiking.
Matthew Hill

Samuel Jenkins
Politicians here are out of touch, along with all of the middle and upper classes who make up the media/big business. This was a revolt by the working class.

If the Egyptian mixed race was so smart, then how come their pyramids didn't manage to travel to the stars?
Dylan Adams
This is true.
Christopher Taylor
I meant to the remain party. I don't think anyone on the leave side wanted to be a part of the single market and here he is at least considering the idea He certainly had the wrong idea about being able to remain in the EEC without a few restrictions/setbacks though
