I read this news twice, checked the date, but it doesn't look like an April fool. Crunchyroll apparently has bought out Viz Media Europe and all their subsidiaries and holdings, including Khazi.

Not really as Kaze had ceased UK distribution after OPM and season 1 of Jojo.

Also not surprised at the rebrand seeing as Crunchyroll are now the majority shareholder of the company.

So I'm assuming it's not a similar situation like Funimation and Manga UK? Like bringing more past shows to Crunchyroll?
