Sony should learn form Disney's mistakes.
Buying profitable IP owners like Marvel and Lucas Film, doesn't mean those are easy to milk...in fact when mismanaged this can be the road to bankruptcy.

Will that lead to more game adaptations?
No, this isn't my signature.

Wait, does this apply to Kadokawa Group as a whole or just the anime/gaming section? Kadokawa owns BookWalker, does this mean Sony will own BookWalker as well? Are all my LN purchases screwed!? I mean CR buys Funimation and suddenly ppl are losing access to their purchases... Who says the same cannot happen with Sony...

What abt their publishing itself (manga & LN)? Will it be owned by F*ing Sony as well?

I'm sorry, but I don't really care for the anime & gaming sections, I'm much more concerned abt the manga & LN side instead....

@uncleqrow This purchase applies to everything Kadokawa owns, meaning all anime and software and subsidiaries (every publishing branch included).

Oh no, I like Sony phones, but they will ruin anime is they get too much influence in the industry.

Gushing over magical girls season 2 is probably dead now it this goes through and there's no reason to believe it won't. Everything that can go wrong this year has and continues to worsen. Doujin scene is definitely fucked.

For once I'm actually concerned. Will be a shitshow. Kadokawa also owns Fromsoft.

It's no problem as long as Niconico doesn't get affected.

@Katou81 can't take all the shows we had so far. It'll be like in the vidya industry, people will only buy good stuff that slips through the cracks or is thematically appropriate while all the forced titles will flop.

This doesn't look promising at all. I'm actually very concerned if this is true.
