I agree with much of what the writer of the article has to say. The thing I think needs to be said is that Anime ( or any other hobby that people pursue ) needs to have more individuals involved as consumers and to get that involvement you need ready & affordable access. The fatal flaw in Amazon’s approach is that it has turned what had been slowly developing as ready & affordable into the opposite by being relatively exclusive & expensive. Even with Prime’s reported 90 million subscribers in the USA the premium barrier raised will put a damper on what the streaming numbers could have been for those shows.
Again, I urge anyone that is willing to contact Amazon and / or Sentai to do so, be respectful, polite & clear in making your displeasure known.
