This sounds very good, hopefully they can reverse the pandering trends that have been going on in Japan by putting some American money into the industry.

Unless they decide to go full villain on us, this is going to be a good thing.

True. But I see nothing bad in working wich them. Sure thing some streaming services are hated for whatever reason but what does it have to do with possible quality of the product they will create?

i don't mind involvement of crunchy or legal anime streaming sites because it's necessary for survival of anime industry but if there will be involvement of any other western companies or investors then anime will surely loose it's charm which will surely happen in future if further western involvement will happen...AMEN!!!

Wow, a company that doesn't even license anime GLOBALLY now tries to do some big shit.
They can only wish to last five years. Worse, Sumitomo can drain away Crunchyroll's assets at the smallest sign of being unable to earn enough.

Western companies being able to produce (and therefore influence) the production and content of anime? There's no way this is going to end well.
And here I thought that the problem with CR was that they were some kind of parasitic legal-bootlegger middleman that damaged the industry by paying license fees. But now that they're becoming more directly involved with producing and funding anime, it's not going to end well? It's almost as if "bad" is equivalent to "whatever Western anime distributors happen to be doing at the moment."

I just want Bandai to get under a new licensor so its shows can be on CR again
Many of Bandai's licenses for Sunrise shows have been picked up by either Sentai or Funimation, so there's a fair chance that at least the Sentai titles might surface on CR again.

I have nothing but respect and well wishes for them. Just look at the sorts of critically acclaimed shows we got from Amazon, Hulu, and [especially] Netflix. This could be the start of some amazing content for people other than the usual otaku audience.

I agree. it cant get any worse then the generic drivel that is 80 percent of anime these days.We all complain about getting the same rehashed crap...well now it might change!
