If you have never heard of Iyuno before (I hadn't), they are responsible for many aspects of localization and accessibility. They sometimes create dubs, add subs, create closed captioning, etc. They also do this for many languages, not just English. In addition, they work on many Netflix projects that are not just anime, adding captioning or descriptive audio for accessibility.

> Iyuno is aware of a recent security issue, involving unauthorized access to confidential content. Protecting our clients’ confidentiality and ensuring the security of their content is our highest priority. We are actively investigating this security breach to mitigate any potential risks and identify the responsible parties.

Anime production woes strike again, and this time it isn't Nier...

From the article:

> The acquisition involves the purchase of all shares from Science SARU’s representative, Eunyoung Choi, with the studio becoming a subsidiary of Toho effective June 19, 2024. > > Through this strategic move, Toho aims to strengthen its animation production capabilities, by leveraging Science SARU’s expertise and resources

Toho does have a reputation of being a more hospitable working environment than much of the industry from what I know, so this bit might not be just bluster:

> Toho also plans to collaborate closely with Science SARU to enhance its production environment and provide greater creative opportunities for employees and affiliated creators, and to produce high-quality anime content tailored for both domestic and global audiences.

Finally, if you are struggling to remember any Science SARU projects:

> Its most recent projects are the animated feature film Inu-Oh (2021), two short films for the animated anthology project Star Wars: Visions (2021), and the animated series The Heike Story (2021), Yurei Deco (2022), and Scott Pilgrim Takes Off (2023).

The film's production committee and the anime studio MAPPA explained that the committee and staff decided on this cancelation after internal discussions due to "various circumstances."

If you sail the high seas for your anime, you might have noticed several shows available for viewing already that haven't actually aired yet, including the first two episodes of Konosuba. The shows have been coming out over the past week or so, but I hadn't seen any actual news articles written up to share until now.
