Bloody hell. Call me an anime boomer, but there's a reason I don't watch much ultra-modern stuff.

Holy Heck, I wouldn't be able to make my anime purchase spreadsheet wide enough even streched across two monitors to fit that many characters into the title column...

According to Reuters Sony are looking to acquire Kadokawa. The way this is being framed it seems to be mainly for their gaming division to gain control of From Software.

These titles originate from their source as web novels. The web novels scene is flooded with content, as anyone can freely self publish there. Therefore to try to attract readers the titles have turned into summaries of the stories.
I suspect it's being framed that way since they think the Western readers will recognise Kadokawa more for Fromsoft (especially when the context is Sony which makes you think games), but this could potentially be a HUGE problem for all the publishing businesses Kadokawa runs and obviously make the existing anime issues they have worse. Not a good look.

If Sony acquired them they'd keep only the really profitable things and shut down the rest.

Don't forget ANN will probably be axed, only need CR news page after all.
Just seen a trailer announcing that second season of Pokemon Horizons will be on Netflix as of 7th February. Whether or not it will be on the BBC before that I don't know.
ETA: Another trailer just came up. The series will debut on the BBC in January.
