Oshi no Ko, New Game! studio was founded in 1973 // Kadokawa announced on Thursday that it has acquired anime studio Doga Kobo and will make it a subsidiary...
If just the name Doga Kobo doesn't mean much to you, here are some works of theirs from the article:
Doga Kobo has animated such works as Yuruyuri - Happy Go Lily, Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, New Game!, Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru, Himouto! Umaruchan, Hina Logic - from Luck & Logic, Devils and Realist, How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?, Koihime Musō, Anima Yell!, Natsuyuki Rendezvous, Plastic Memories, and Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence, among others.
The studio's current anime include Oshi no Ko season 2, Chiikawa, and Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian.
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.
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 :(
