Sony låter nu meddela att de köpt upp Crunchyroll, en streaming-tjänst för animé. Prislappen var bastanta $1,175 miljarder, alltså drygt 10 miljarder svenska kronor. Sony-filmchefen Tony Vinciquerra kommenterar:
"We are proud to bring Crunchyroll into the Sony family. Through Funimation and our terrific partners at Aniplex and Sony Music Entertainment Japan, we have a deep understanding of this global artform and are well-positioned to deliver outstanding content to audiences around the world. Together with Crunchyroll, we will create the best possible experience for fans and greater opportunity for creators, producers and publishers in Japan and elsewhere."
Crunchyroll har enligt pressreleasen 90 miljoner registrerade användare fördelade på 200 länder. Tycker du det var ett bra drag av Sony?
