Don't let the door hit you on the way out Iger, you bent the knee to a certain madman in office at the White House and got a nice golden parachute in the process.

Hopefully they will not continue to fudge up Disney’s anime strategy and waste our time and goodwill. How the fudge do they not have Medalist season 2 when it’s billed as a Hulu original?

I mean Disney rubbing elbows with Republicans and Conservatives wasn’t something that just started the last decade. And given how corporations and their leadership love funneling money to politicians to get favors in return don’t expect Iger’s departure to change anything.

So basically by your own admission your complaint contradicts what you’re asking?

Anybody else remember how quickly things went to shit the last time Disney put a parks guy in charge of the whole company? No, just me?

Disney produces the Star Wars Visions and Twisted Wonderland anime series and they're also the broadcast and streaming rights owners of the French/Japanese co-production Miraculous Ladybug. They also still air Beyblade and Yugioh on Disney X-D and Disney+ is the streaming rights owner of the upcoming Power Rangers reboot. And while they no longer own the international licensing rights, Disney is still the home video distributor of the Ghibli catalog in Japan. Disney+ is also a major streaming source for anime and live action Asian media in Asian regions including Japan.

According to Hulu Support, the streaming hold up of Medalist s2 in the US is because of a licensing disagreement between Disney and the Japanese licensors.
