This is a good thing. Anime outside of Japan is still niche. I don't want N competing streaming services. Even with a Funimation+Crunchyroll subscription, I still have to resort to less-than-legal means to watch some of my favourite material.



Well... With this, in France, we now have the three big services owned by sony, and each makes you pay 5€/month. Don't think that because they bought Crunchyroll, they will merge rights and subscription. Why would they, that would make less money.


>I don't want N competing streaming services.

I do. When Sony inevitably censors or localizes something they shouldn't then I can show my displeasure by using their competitors.
