Sony's Acquisition of Kadokawa kills Otaku culture

 Reuters (cannot link the article because it's paywalled) reported that Sony is in talks to acquire Kadokawa manga publisher that is known for anime like Oshi No Ko And Highschool DxD. Kadokawa owns Yen Press l, which means more censorship and more woke content, which Japanese Otakus have no interest in that trash. Furthermore, this acquisition will be a deathblow to Sentai Filmworks, the owner of HiDive and it's FAST (Free Ad-supported Television) channel Anime X HiDive, because Sentai has the license to some of Kadokawa's properties. And since Kadokawa owns Anime News Network, Sony is likely to shut it down and move ANN's news content to Crunchyroll. The only alternative is Bounding into Comics.

Kakao, a parent company of Kong Games, the developer of Guardian Tales, almost tried to buy Kadokawa. Should Kakao bought Kadokawa, would mean more Guardian Tales collabs with Kadokawa's IPs.

RIP Gainax 1984-2024

 Anime News Network have reported that Studio Gainax known for Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water, Kare Kano, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and FLCL, have filed for bankruptcy and is now declared defunct. All of its IP are transferred to Studio Khara.

RIP Akira Toriyama

 It comes to my deep sympathy that Akira Toriyama, creator of the Dragon Ball Series, passed away today due to a blood clot.

RIP Toby Keith

 It comes to my deep sympathy that the greatest country music star Toby Keith has passed away yesterday due to stomach cancer.

I would like for you to donate to the American Cancer Society so that we can end cancer.

R.I.P. LocalBTV

 As of yesterday, Thanksgiving Day, the service has shut down for good. 

Last Month, there was a message that the Locals were taken down.

LocalBTV viewers, We’re currently experiencing an issue with our main bandwidth provider. The fix is complicated and we are working hard to get it resolved. This impacts some markets in which many channels in the Local tab are temporarily unavailable. The channels in the National tab are still available. Thank you for your patience and hopefully you find some channels you enjoy. Team LocalBTV

I pretty assume that this has to do something in the past that Weigel Broadcasting went after them for streaming their networks Antenna TV, MeTV, and This TV. It's either that this is similar to the Locast case or they removed the local channels from all markets due to financial issues right up until they shut down the service.

Either way, I suggest you use an antenna.

Swtiching to Xfinity Internet

 I will be switching to Xfinity Internet from T-mobile. I will be able to post an update when the transition is complete as there will be a temporary disruption.

BBC Kids has left Pluto TV

You will have to move to the UK to watch BBC kids and pay an arm and a leg to watch it on the iPlayer. BBC Kids has left Pluto TV. The channel was launched last year. Assuming, they failed to reach an agreement to keep the channel on the app.
