Interesting.

Could they try to broadcast it to multiple streaming sites like Netflix and CR?

All for Milking and Churning out all of money as much as possible from
This expanding Anime Market

Still nothing do with underpaid over working environment of Japnese animators Confused

Have they done this before?

Maybe this time it would be different given the environmental norm of accepting animation compared to 10 or 15 years ago.

Oh yeah, they bought Pioneer Entertainment in 2003 and turned it into Geneon. Then when the anime DVD crash hit they wound down the US division in 07-08 and sold the remains to NBCUniversal.

In 2010 they tried again as Dentsu Entertainment, doing dubs of kids shows like Deltora Quest, LBX and Yo-kai Watch for TV. Looks like they technically still exist, but their releases fizzled out over time.

Given the age of streaming, maybe they can go for the top streamers of Anime.

And let them dub it their way. Laughing

I see, didn't know that Dentsu was involved in the Geneon USA thing. I think it will be different this time now that streaming is more prevalent (despite it's limitation), and the fact that anime is now more mainstream today then it was 10-15 years ago.
