We learned a week ago that Sony subsidiary Aniplex (not Aniplex USA) has acquired the anime division of Madman Media for $35 million AUD. Madman had previously been a minority investor in the company has taken over completely for this division now.
We are also now majority owned by Aniplex which is a division of Sony Music Japan, not Sony Pictures which is who owns Funimation.
Madman and other distributors have been bringing out Aniplex shows are lower pricing than the US division because those markets are different and those prices are not sustainable there.
All of our existing licenses and how we license moving forward doesn’t change, we are still Madman and we are not changing our name to Aniplex.
