What in the antitrust fuck
Kadokawa keeps getting bigger. It's something that I think about when keeping an eye out for news in the community. ANN is one of the better, more timely sources for English language news, and Kadokawa is a majority owner of ANN.
Kadokawa need to be nuked from orbit. They and Sony are a duopoly in anime at this point.
Hey Japan, how are those antitrust laws going?
Jesus Christ.
Yup. It's fucking sickening.
As much as it pains me to say this, I want the anime industry to collapse. Hopefully if that happens more studios will attempt to create anime without the bullshit system they use now and maybe the animators won't be crunched to death.
I love anime but why does everything I love need to be stained in blood :(
