Crunchyroll and Viz announce a robust home video and electronic sell-through distribution deal that will bring beloved anime titles to fans across the U.S. and Canada.
Viz titles are distributed by Warner so makes sense . Curious what this means if anything for those titles Funimation has already distributed for them . Hopefully some series that got forgotten about find there way out .
Key word to take from the Announcement is the word Select which means not everything, and new titles that aren’t S2+'s which should be covered by Funimation’s divorce contract lol. Hopefully the titles that fall under Sentai’s umbrella (Food Wars S3+4, The Trinity 7 movies, Fate Kaleid 3rei, and the Locodol OVAs will be done by Sentai. We’ll just have to see how it all plays out.
Sentai’s biggest issue is they probably can’t handle a large influx of titles, as Section 23 only puts out 5-7 titles a month on Average
