Bandai Namco article in Nikkei today about closure of Daisuki.
http://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXLZO20267910S7A820C1TI1000/
>Earlier this year Bandai bought out other investors for around 2 billion yen
>Were not able to gain paid memberships as planned
>Were not able to survive the intense competition with the US forces in the streaming distribution market
>Japan lost in the competition for the distribution platform, but the attractiveness of the content has no been lost. If we can maintain good relationships with distributors in future, it is possible overseas sales will grow greatly.
How is it that Japan still couldn't manage to win when Daisuki had so many anime rights holders on board? Did they decide to just throw in the towel when Netflix and Amazon started getting involved and it wasn't just the likes of Crunchyroll they were competing with anymore?

I didn't even know they still existed until I had recently read an article about their plan to shut down.

I don't understand why they never got any shows though. Their members owned the content. Netflix, Amazon, Crunchyroll and Funi must be paying them a lot if they're willing to let their own company die.

Because he was the government

Carpet bombing the palace would be like carpet bombing the White House. The government decided to have the Hunter Association, which is privately owned, deal with the threat so they could blame any collateral on them and deny any involvement.
