Now that our good friends at Sony™ has bought our hardworking pals at Funimation™, what should we expect?

Anime becoming even more normalfags friendly.
Caleb Sanders
Then that means more sales right? ultimately a good thing for the industry.
Truly the good people at sony would help progress anime as a better art form, right?
Liam Jackson
Yup it mean making anime to appeal to western normalfags so I guess thats a good thing for most of neo-Sup Forums.
Isaiah Thompson
Is anime even that profitable?
I don't see why sony would want to buy them
Cooper Gutierrez
It is now that its reaching mainstream popularity.
Grayson Lee
Great, but where are the fucking Mach GoGoGo BDs, Funi?
Blake Perry
Dunno really. Sony doesn't produce anime, they just sponsor it.
William Campbell
expect dragon ball super and my hero academia trailers to play before the emoji movie
Jacob Jackson
They're going to milk Funimation dry and shut it down when there is no more money.
Or they going to milk Funimation dry, shut it down and then replace it with their own which no one will like.
Grayson Richardson
Every game console will be 'shooped into a playstation and every TV will be an XBR.
Lucas Anderson
Fucking diaz is at it again...
Christian Collins
>BRAP
What did they mean by this?
Jace Hughes
>Wealthy Japanese company distributes anime worldwide now
So?
Ayden Morgan
Will I still be able to get funimation on xbox?
Oliver Cooper
I'm hoping Funi stops being shit.
I'm expecting for Sony not to give a single fuck and possibly make them even worse/make the bankrupt due to new dumb things they tell Funi to do.
Dylan Myers
Who cares? Funi's subs were already trash and their encodes were unreasonably bad, plus what the fuck was with those filters?
It would be a great service to the industry if they shuttered it and just took the licenses as loot, but if they keep it going there's no way they could fuck up as bad as funi has already been doing.
Aiden Watson
These are the same guys who made the emoji movie mind you.
Michael Hill
Nothing? The people translating the anime are irrelevant.
Xavier Kelly
I'm pretty sure distrubutors aren't in charge of the trailers before movies...
I guess they do suggest them, but ultimately the cinema owner picks the trailers based on what he will bring to his cinema later.
Lincoln Taylor
Hopefully not.
Buy a pc and learn to torrent gay nigger console fag.
Luke Moore
>I don't see why an anime producer would want to buy an English-language anime distribution company
It's very clearly advantageous for them, particularly since Daisuki/ACJ became such a failure and was bought out entirely by Bandai a few months ago.
Brody Myers
I have a PC and can torrent but I enjoy watching anime in bed on xbox.
Logan Powell
Also lawsuits. Tons of lawsuits.
Sony has deep pockets and an army of lawyers standing by on high alert at all times.
So no more free animu for you, foorish gaijin.
Cameron Diaz
>we
Irrelevant to me, I don't stream anime you fucking casual.
Ian King
Yeah sure.
Jaxson Flores
This is gonna be so trash name one movie Sony Pictures haven't fucked up in recent years they're incompetent retards.
Chase Lopez
This is sony, not sony pictures, dumbass
Caleb Green
Sony=/=Sony Pictures
Even then, they can't do shit.
Angel Gutierrez
SONY PICTURES TELEVISION NETWORKS
Nicholas Anderson
They license, not produce. It's not like Sony went and bought out 10 studios and told them to make products more geared at overseas markets.
Dylan Green
Hopefully more funding to shaft so we can get more craned necks and white backgrounds
Joseph King
I thought funimation just did dubs
Lucas Rogers
>emoji movie
I don't believe you.
Liam Ramirez
Grayson Campbell
No, it's just a fad like the one we had in the early 00's.
Expect a boom, lots of failures after the boom and then we'll be back to the old milking cow.
Aaron Kelly
nothing really, Sony already has Aniplex USA
this was done so they can control Localization of Anime games in USA
>Studio X non affiliated to Aniplex
>I want to make this anime into a game for Switch and PS4
>Sony
>Good luck getting that Switch port in USA without our permission
If people see value on just a Japan Port they will drop the switch all together making the game effectively Sony Exclusive without the need of sony paying for said Exclusivity
Oliver Ramirez
>Sony has deep pockets
they dont
Brody Wright
More memes, less politics.
Owen Cox
This. I can see them dissolving within the next few years.
