| People are acting as if studios owned by Disney, like Pixar, weren't pumping out awesome movies. Inside Out >>> your average young teen anime movie about a dumb submissive girl and a generic bratty MC, and that's a fact. Stop crying. |
|
| There should be a time in the future when I stop watching anime. Disney or other american companies showing up, slowly buying out and gobbling up the industry and then forcing their agenda, way of storytelling and political views on it definitely will be the turning point when I leave this shit behind. I hope that will not happen in the near future. |

| This is very worrying. We need less American influence in anime. Soon they'll start to insert their bullshit propaganda into anime and the industry will turn into a shitshow |
 |
| CR/Funimation have already gotten bad enough as far as screwing their customers over, I'm not exactly looking forward to another company entering the anime streaming market splitting the license pie up even more. Watching anime legally is already unreasonably expensive for services that get worse by the year, I don't see a net gain for the consumers with another one getting involved. |
| It shouldn't matter, but it does because it's Disney, the biggest cancer of any entertainment industry and a serious, major threat for fair competition. |
| The anime industry is a blooming market. I'm not surprised that Disney will want to have a piece of it. |

Go back to Twitter or something. Also there is a difference between Antropomorphized animals and humans who have a sexual orientation towards "Antropomorphized animals".

Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth. Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime. |

Disney can only make good anime if they go out of the box and be bold and in west most of the times it's about representation and races rather than being a good story and sadly no one cares about other things except the stories. Mandalorian is good example of being awesome if they do something like that with any franchise then they will do good. |
| 2023 might be the year where I will be happy. This year is not happy year. |
| Disney entered the anime industry ages ago when they started licensing and funding Ghibli films. Then there's that Lilo and Stitch anime, and also an Avengers anime. And then there's the fact that shows like Pokemon, Beyblade, Digimon, Yo-Kai Watch, even Naruto: Shippuden have all aired on Disney XD. Now they're just licensing anime for Disney+, but they've been in the anime industry for a pretty long time. |
| People who put MAL stats in their sigs are losers lol |
Kingdom hearts anime soon? And this  |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| Surely this isn't a first from Disney? I am surprised people are only just acting as this has happened. wer u der wen disney ghibli collab? Pretty sure Dinsey has been in the anime game for longer than even I've been alive. This just seems like a blatant shout of their name rather than playing backstage. Just put ctrl + f, type "Disney": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_Ghibli |

| Remember that Disney used to own Jetix, The second biggest source for Anime on TV and the biggest in places like here in Latin America where Toonami wasn't that big of a thing (Also I think I think Jetix was just a block in the US when here it was it's own channel). Also they distributed a lot of Ghibli stuff before. If they didn't ruin it back then, I doubt they'll do it this go around |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| I'm Neutral on it and they've entered since Studio Ghibli. I'm not surprised because Anime has been a booming industry lately. |
 |
| Competition is good for consumers, normally i'm against these sort of stuff, but honestly the more competition we get for anime, the better it will be. |

| As long as they don't mess up, I don't see any problem with it |
| As long as they don't try to remake anything...Reboots/Remakes in general have been terrible as far as western content goes. With very few exceptions. But I've seen what they've done to their own movies...So I especially don't trust them to handle any anime reboots/remakes... |
| I think that this medium has proved vast and versatile enough over the course of decades not to fall prey to being monopolized by the grip, interests, and vision of one company - and yes, that applies even to a global multimedia and entertainment corporation like Disney. There are already many native Japanese mega corporations that have failed to entirely monopolize anime for their benefit. The wisest among them know that the art is like a garden - you have to tend to it carefully otherwise it will wither and die. If they just attempt to streamline and water down all content with the aim toward complete uniformity then it will drive a not insignificant portion of the audience consumer base away (Japanese and foreign/international) and eat into profits. Anyway, I don't share the hatred for or opposition to Disney that some anime fans do - Strictly referring to their film and television series output here (not their company policies, politics, prices, etc. which are all whole other separate issues and topics). I like the majority of the Disney canon of films and some of their cartoon series for TV from throughout the past 30 years, because I am a fan of animation in general as a vehicle for storytelling, and that includes Western cartoons and isn't limited to just anime. I probably wouldn't have such an innate and ingrained sense of emotional affinity and connection to animated works if I didn't watch the Disney Renaissance films of the late 80s to early 90s like Aladdin (1992), The Lion King (1994), Beauty and the Beast (1991), and The Little Mermaid (1989) pretty much on a loop on VHS tapes when I was a kid, even before I started watching cartoon TV series. There is something to the lasting power of the pieces of media you see dozens or hundreds of times when you're a toddler age of 2 1/2 - 3 years-old and forming your first conscious memories. |

| I had already kinda accepted Twisted Wonderland as a game. I understand that this is the next step. Let's be honest, anime and manga is where the money is at nowadays. Nobody is reading western comics or watching western cartoons anymore. It's a logic step to take if Disney wants to stay at the top. My personal feelings are more in the middle. I'm not a fan of Disney's practices, but i'll always be a fan of the movies they put out during my childhood. |

Romaki26 said: Don't care. If Disney can greenlight another The Last Airbender, good for us. If not, no loss. What does that have to do with anime? |
| I hope they adapt some good mangas. Plus I'll start making use of the disney+ subscription cause all I've been using it for is to rewatch Avatar. |

| I don't like the thought of a big conglomerate like Disney getting into anime |
| Disney tho has had their fair share of animanga industry before, as mentioned in other posts. Disney aired Doraemo outside of Japan in some countries and had even W.i.t.c.h manga made back in the day. Anyway as far as it goes Disney buying any franchises/studios I see very unlikely, just because I don't see why they'd need to. Disney's own franchises and titles/characters are itself already popular and well loved in Japan, so they most likely just ask for animated products of their already owned properties as it currently is. Also because most countries in some way want to support their own media production to support culture sector and workers. So even with that I doubt Disney is really able to monopolize animation industry in Japan. I believe it can be argued if that even is the case in USA. |

| Guh... Look how they've commercialized Marvel Comics. It's become the McDonald's of the movie viewing experience: Everybody loves how it tastes while knowing it's not good for them. For further references on how Disney and anime don't mix: Look at what they did to Kingdom Hearts III. Pass, hard pass. I may have grew up on Disney animated movies, like many of us older viewers here, but the current Disney is a far cry from what it used to be. They don't take chances like many modern anime are doing (Star Wars 7-9 anyone?). Do you think the CURRENT Disney would EVER greenlit something like Promised Neverland, Jobless Reincarnation, or Interspecies Reviewers? |

| not happy honestly they'll probably ruin every thing with the shit ton of power they have |
 |
4esthetics said: Disney will do more harm than good to anime, and the newest Star Wars trilogy is proof lol This. Disney doesn't care about delivering a good product. They just want to milk what is popular. |
| As long as it's a Japanese studio adapting it, I don't mind Disney getting a piece of the pie. Distributors are going to increase as the years go by. Netflix is doing an adequate job more or less. Let's see how Disney will do. |
 |
| I wouldn't watch anything they own/make just like I do now |
  |
Allowmyusername said: only a matter of time until they ruin anime I hope not. They better do own works. |
 |
| Couldn't care less to be honest. I'll still watch their anime if it looks decent. |
  Arteta's Tricky Reds!   |
| Umm, as long as they stay in the corner they've been given, don't make a mess, or Westernize the medium, then we're all good. |

| We already survived the netflixifying of anime. Nothing can scare us anymore. |
 |
| Disney like Netflix is a profit driven Corporation, and this is free market Capitalism, anime is a growing entertainment industry outside of Japan, while anime inside of Japan is. Stagnant at best, its seen massive growth and popularity in China and the west thanks to streaming sites. This could be a hundred-billion-dollar industry in just a few years when the right players come in. Disney is a huge Corporation, like we are talking trillions of dollars worth massive. And they are gonna take anime, churn it through their AI to make the most bland mainstream junk humanly possible that everyone who has not watched anime will love! And they are gonna mass produce this crap for 50 years until either Disney collapses from overextending and failing to increase their margins or the market will cease to exist as we near the end stage. Needless to say, having watched anime and the entire industry for 20 years, its laughable that people think DIsney and Netflix are gonna ruin anime, son, anime was already made mainstream by mid 2010s, stuff like Sword Art Online was the epidemy of mainstream anime back then and it still is. Disney and Netflix simply just took pre-existing mainstream junk and americanised it for a western audience. Golden age of anime is over and it lasted mere 20 years from the 80s till 2009-ish, it was an era when production costs were low, anime was a niche (yes even in Japan) and lots of studios came and went, directors and writers experimenting, not afraid of trying new things all the time because back then, anime was just about recouping expenditure. It was passion projects. Thats also why studios like Pierrot and Toei spitted out hundreds if not thousands of episodes each year just to make enough money to expand. Thank God those days are over. |

| As far as I am aware of, they are pretty hands off censorship since they dont want to alienate jp audiences. Sony is still the major player in town. While sony pictures is censor happy, aniplex isnt. Summertime render had panty shots and nudity. For the most part, it is just going to benefit who they produce anime with like kodansha |
