The Nippon TV (NTV) television broadcasting company announced on Thursday that it has decided to acquire 42.3% of the shares of world-famous animation studio Ghibli. This transaction, once completed, would make NTV the largest shareholder of the Ghibli, and turn the studio into a subsidiary of Nippon TV.
Time for some much "loved" inshittyfication.
What do you mean with that?
He means that the acquisition will just result in Nippon TV crassly exploiting their new property as hard as they can, rushing out tons of cheaply-made garbage in hopes of swindling consumers with Studio Ghibli's good name. Eventually, Studio Ghibli will be a name that people associate with cheap shit, and will be forgotten.
Whelp, it was a fun ride while it lasted
