Looks like Sony is sniffing around Kadokawa.

NEW YORK/TOKYO, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Sony is in talks to acquire Kadokawa, the Japanese media powerhouse behind the "Elden Ring" game, two sources familiar with the matter said, as the technology giant looks to add to its entertainment portfolio.

The talks between the two sides are ongoing and, if successful, a deal could be signed in the coming weeks, the sources said.

Sony declined to comment. Kadokawa said it cannot comment.

Sony really are going for that anime monopoly huh?

This really shouldn’t be allowed when they already control so much of the anime industry as it is.  Never mind the ramifications on the game industry (most notably From Software and Spike Chunsoft), Kadokawa are a huge Japanese media conglomerate in their own right.

I'd be very surprised if it is allowed to go ahead for the very reason you said. They own a lot of that market already and so would they even be allowed to purchase even more of it?
