NEWS: Disney to Exclusively Stream Tokyo Revengers: Christmas Showdown Anime in January

Just curious, and anecdote only of course, but how much of a market share do you think Muse has in SEA?

This sucks. None of the shows that Disney licensed this year are available in latinamerica.

Or maybe they could send it back to Studiopolis given that they have a story working with them. Did you forget that? Only two animes and now everyone assumes everything's going to Roundabout?

Good to know I should forget this show ever existed. Disney does not stream anime in the US, or anywhere outside Japan that I know of. Here are the series I have forgotten:
* Summer Time Render
* New Black Rock Shooter
* Tokyo Revengers: Christmas Showdown

Never get a Disney streaming subscription because it will not have the shows Disney has licensed. Maybe 5 or 10 years from now, when those shows are on a DIFFERENT streaming service, I MIGHT consider watching one of them then. But never on Disney; they've proven that with Summer Time Render.

The new BRS, Tatami Time Machine Blues, and the new Bleach are on Hulu. No word yet on Summer Time Rendering (count me in as someone who is really annoyed that it isn't here yet), but you can't say that they aren't releasing anything (Disney owns Hulu).

Has Disney+ confirmed yet if this deal with Kodansha is globally or just for Asia?

So Crunchyroll no longer licensing Kodansha animes? That means they won't get Attack on Titan third final season? CR is keep losing some big anime titles (like Bleach final arc and Black Clover movie) and selection of animes in CR is getting smaller and smaller.

We don't know if that's the case at the moment. I doubt it's going to affect AOT but after that is anyone's guess. Kodansha might be sick of the Sony monopoly or something, we don't know because we're not industry insiders. I'm sure Justin or the Answerman column will have some take in due time if this blows up more.

Why is Disney only licensing sequels? Especially sequels to shows they don't have the rights to? Earlier this month Disney Plus got the sequel to Tatami Galaxy but not the original show. And now it's the same thing with Tokyo Revengers.

So new fans who discover the series through Disney Plus will end up being confused since the show is a continuation, and old fans may decide it's not worth continuing to follow the series since it requires getting a whole different streaming service than season 1. At least when Netflix got exclusive rights to the latest season of Jojo, they made it a point to put every previous season on the service, too. Disney doesn't seem to be doing that. You get season 2 of Revengers and if you didn't have access to the first one, too bad.

Disney's usual audience isn't really into anime so if they want to get them to try it out, this not the way to do it.

idk why u still mention "Crunchyroll being monopoly"
at this point we all know it's not. Crunchyroll still need to pay for any anime they gonna license.
Not to mention this kind of deal happend in japan before bidding war happend So it has nothing to do with Crunchyroll
Why? because Crunchyroll/Hdive not the only streaming platform that care about anime

IN SEA there's Muse asia,Media link,Aniplus etc. who are distributor and licensor in SA,SEA Region. and sub-license to more than 20-30 streaming platform in asia
in japan there's like 20+ streaming platform that also stream anime.

So this kind of deal actually more of the problem to japanese people because most anime series usually stream on multiple platform instead of stuck in one service.but since Disney+ is kinda new and still need to get more sub in japan. Exclusive deal is inevitable

I’d say let it. Disney needs to learn that there are certain things they can’t be involved with. And one of them is anime
