Which company would you rather have dominate the anime industry? Is it better to keep things with Sony, or do you think Disney might be a better fit to bring anime to a wider audience?

May as well ask someone if they'd rather be broken on the wheel or put to death via Scaphism.

Both are horrible but I think Disney is significantly worse, so Sony.
Also shouldn't this thread be a poll?

The censorship would certainly be much worse with Disney in charge.

No monopoly is best. The "transfer" of the funimation properties to cruchyroll was not good, but crunchyroll is not the only streamer of anime

Fuck all the licensors. Don't support their shitty subs. Don't support their attempts to enshittify anime. Don't support Sony's corporte ESG BS.

FUGDE THEM!

If someone has to monopolize anime, Disney would be my last choice for the company to do it. People here constantly talk about censorship, which is justified, but the real issue I'd have with Disney is that they would make every anime exactly the same.

Remember when each Marvel movie had its own tone and feel? As soon as Disney cracked the code for maximum profits, they started making every one identical to the last. Same plot, same "humor," same archetypes. Every time.

As much as we joke about every anime these days being a mindless isekai, Disney would make that the reality.

The company founded by Walt Disney is dead for all I care. For all intents and purposes, modern Disney is The Bob Iger Company in all but name.

If somehow Disney monopolized anime, shows would be "engineered" to appeal to "modern audiences" that exist only on Twitter. New IPs will be neglected, and instead we will have endless sequels to extremely profitable franchises. Somehow anime budgets will spiral out of control despite looking no better than your seasonal isekai.

But I thought anime pirates were asking for AI subs?

So why are you saying people should pirate as a protest to AI subs, isn't this what y'all wanted??

How about NEITHER? Try to give me some choices, that sounds too much like the US now.

I'm only just realizing I stopped following Disney when Iger became CEO.

I would like neither of those but Disney would be really bad. Like they’ll just cancel shows because they do have representation( like they did with owl house)

Geezus that's like asking if being served some bland curry is worse than being slowly tortured to death.
Are you kidding me. Sony a million times over fucking Disney.

No. Absolutely not. Disney as it is now needs to stay as far away from anime as it can get, so they don't ruin it with their political crap like they're trying to ruin everything else. Let us enjoy our anime in peace.

On the one hand it would be poetic for a medium so influenced by Disney to be at the hands of disney, on the other hand I can't trust disney and they will push LA, but on the other other hand, it would be very accessible...

Ah jeez. What a toughie. On the one hand, Disney is willing to hire black woke people to act in their movies, but on the other Sony has gay woke characters in some of their media. Truly, these would both be hellish outcomes that would only entrench the West into its self-hating ways :( :( :(

Sony still has 3% of Japan in its blood
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

A Disney monopoly would be really bad but that might actually be a good thing. It could lead the industry crashing and lead to an eventual rebirth.

A Sony monopoly would lead to much longer suffering of barely digestible slop that no one likes but people still keep watching like how netflix currently operates.
