I got mixed feelings with this as I do like CR's system. Otherwise, I hope it will work out well and satisfy customers with its various titles.

The difference is that they are pooling in order to (they would hope) get enough scale for the venture to work. The market is thicker in Japan, but international licensors doing it one at a time would not have enough scale. |

You mean, in how Del Rey pulled out of the manga biz and Kodansha to support the already struggling industry took over most of those books and kept most of Del Rey's staff... Sounds interesting.

Except then they decided not to continue most of the series Del Rey had, even when they had 2 volumes or so left. |

One way for the new venture to get out of the gate faster might be to do a package deal to put all of their simulcasts on Crunchyroll at a week delay for premium members worldwide. Crunchyroll could pay a lower MG and still leave a higher net revenue than these firms have been getting from Crunchyroll for streaming, because of the reduced contracting costs. And Crunchyroll would get a better foundation for streaming to their under-50% areas ~ Europe outside of Northern Europe, the Middle East, Africa outside of South Africa, and Asia outside of Japan ~ complemented by whatever broader streaming rights they can pick up from the international licensors who are not part of the new system. When added to worldwide ex-Japan distribution of their back catalog titles, it would see some current Crunchyroll subscribers outside of North America double dipping for two subscriptions, as some in North America do for Crunchy and Funimation Elite, or some US members do for Crunchy and HuluPlus ... which would surely be good for building the subscriber side of their membership. |
