That headline alone just sounds hilarious when you read it out loud.

My brain short-circuited three times trying to read that headline. Still doesn't make sense.

Yeah, I had to read the article since I was like, "Sony's doing what for soup?"

Does anyone remember when The Emoji Movie (made by Sony) was shamelessly flogging Crackle? No? Oh, good actually.
Crackle used to have a fair amount of anime, though they have basically none today. I believe they’re the only English-language service that ever streamed the Valkyria Chronicles anime that Aniplex made, based on the Sega video game. |

I hope it isn't changed, it's perfect the way it is…
Crackle used to have a fairly good offering—including with anime—though never was one of the best, but, it's quality and quantity have nosedived sharply in the last few years. I just hope their exclusive-ish Animax titles like Kurozuka, Viper's Creed, and Ultraviolet: Code 044 will show up on FUNimation/Crunchyroll/Whatever-The-Heck-They-Are-Going-to-Be at some point in the future. Crackle's long been in desperate need of a reboot. |

Shorter clickbait title: Chicken Soup Stock Traded for Crackle Stake.

I remember back when Crackle hosted a dub of the first season of Nodame Cantabile. It's the only legal method I have ever seen for watching Nodame Cantabile in the US. It's a shame Crackle went downhill because I would have liked to have seen the following two seasons. 
(I've been out of the loop, but still don't think that has happened anywhere. Correct me if I'm wrong) |

Yeah I was hoping that Sony buying Funimation might lead to a home video release for Nodame/Pari-hen/Final or at least the first season. Not really surprised by this news though. Crackle never really did anything for Sony.

Makes sense. Crackle never worked for them. Why keep a stake in it, especially since they and Chicken Soup for the Soul have very different angles?

Yep, I'm just here for the headline talk, too.
All I get is that it seems to involve Sony and an unholy bargain of some sort -- not sure who's trading their soul or how much chicken stock they're getting for it, though. |

They were randomly streaming Tokyo Godfathers this month and just in time for the holidays even though Sony no longer owns the rights to it. I guess it won't be on Crackle anymore. Hopefully Netflix will stream it eventually like they've done some other GKids titles.
