Damn these companies obtaining worldwide rights for properties and screwing over little UK companies.......oh wait, Animatsu have the worldwide license....that's ok then?
EIther way, interested to see this
Well, Jerome seems to be complaining about the amounts of money thrown around by the bigger companies (which to be fair, seems to be a valid complaint, given the general consensus is that we're in another "anime bubble"). Without being rude, I doubt Manga Animatsu has enough money to outbid another company should they have become interested, so I'd speculate maybe Animatsu were the only interested party at this stage, given how little information there was about the film.
Hanners also suggest that Animatsu might be on the production committee for this film, which is a little different to just outbidding everyone in sight for the rights.
Little bit silly of ANN to restrict the news to the UK version of their site, given it's a worldwide story involving a British company. Wonder if Jerome will be upset by it?
