Funimation

Does it matter?
It's not gonna stop me from pirating everything because supporting western releases of anime always has a harmful impact on the industry.

> buying anime licensing companies to get total control over classic anime series
What? That's not how it works. The only "control" buying Funimation gets you is control over Western distribution. And any classic anime series they've released up to now is easily available for free online, so it doesn't matter one whit what the licensor does with it now. Stop trying to start shit.

I don't really think about them

My HDD has limits

>>160610794
My NAS on RAID-5 could hold literally thousands of times the amount of my kiddie videos for ~20 years.

>>160610794
Have you tried not spending money on CR and, instead, putting that money to better use as another HDD in your computer? HDDs are cheap. There's no reason not to torrent in 2017, unless you really do get off on being a CRcuck.

>>160611083

But I do torrent a lot of shit

I don't even pay CR, someone else pays it and shares the account with a bunch of people including me

>>160606544
Complete garbage.

>Owns Aniplex and Funimations

What's their end game?

I hurt my niece sexually out of anger a couple times over the last few years because of some of these companies bs. Its on their heads if it does something negative to her life in 7 or 8 years.

>>160612500
They're planning on making money off the most popular anime titles. Which means more Dragonball, Lupin, and what not.

>>160606719
Kimi no na Wa would've had a bigger opening with an actual Oscar campaign if they were in charge last year. That's good for the growth of the anime industry as a whole.

That said, it's Sony and they're the worst failures at everything. I wouldn't be surprised if this was just to give them content for a proprietary streaming service that you can only access from an Xperia phone with a UMD disc reader attachment.

>>160612958
More Lupin is always good

Wow, Daisuki is going out of bussiness

When Sony Pictures Television Networks acquired the local underground animation channel, they fucking killed it and filled it with shitty Venezuelan dubs. Later they began to add sitcoms and live-action movies. Similar stuff happened in all the Animax branches. They're going to do the same with Funi...

>>160606544
Funimation should start making its own anime

>>160606544
It's bad.
No company will care more about their products than fans who do it for free.

>>160606544
I don't really buy anime, but when I have, funimation has been reliable and incredibly cheap. You can get box sets of entire series for like 30 bucks from them. I know Sony will run them into the ground. Kind of a bummer I guess.

>>160622614
>Funimation should start making its own anime
Say that again, but slower

>>160606544
Will it really make any difference? I can't imagine fansubbing or piracy will diminish in any way, shape or form. This feels like it's just Sony trying to make one of their companies, besides Sony Interactive, profitable again.
