Noooooooooo I was really hoping to be able to afford this one

Well, the first shoe dropped when Aniplex licensed Fate/Apocrypha as that is their first license in which they have no control of the streaming rights. When I saw Ei Aoki as a guest, I knew it was coming and it will likely be the case seeing that Aniplex is hosting this panel, and the discussion is mostly on Re:Creators. Now that Henry Goto has taken a new position in the Japanese branch that now having wide exposure will not be a barrier to licensing with the new leadership at AoA, but they might have to change some other things to find their new ideal business model in the face of Amazon getting more aggressive. After that, I expect Saekano Flat and Magi: Adventure of Sinbad licenses to shortly follow seeing that nobody currently has the license for those shows and Aniplex of Japan is not letting anybody else have them.

It's still unclear what involvement AoA has with the series. In addition to the Otakon panel, they are also promoting it (banner, promo card): LINK / LINK.


EDIT: not sure what happened when I moved the posts (duplicates showed up).
