  It would pretty much give Sony complete control of the industry through ownership of Aniplex and Kadokawa. BD prices would skyrocket…

      Yup :/

      I might quit consuming animanga if this goes through and JNC folds into Bookwalker.

  Here is the list of anime that Kadokawa produced. I’m sure you would know many anime on the list.

  Yes. Kadokawa has several anime studio subsidiaries, and also publishes manga.
