Not sure I like the idea of Sony getting even more control over the anime, manga and light novel industry.

Great, even more consolidation around a few giants in the manga/anime industry. Even for the video game side, it won't be good for the players given how Sony is accumulating very big mistakes.

Will the japanese anti-trust do something against it ?

Well I don't really care as long as bookwalker stays bookwalker.

 

[UnnamedPlayer]

I doubt Bookwalker will continue to be Bookwalker. I'm pretty sure it will decay vastly. Given how Sony was greedy in the video game domain, it won't be good. I'm worried for boowalker, seriously.

Sony took over A-1 studios, and the conditions are revealed to be a sweatshop. This was 10 years ago.

I don't like my music sounding like blood, sweat and tears.

Why not? They're a fine band.

(Also seems appropriate for Sony.)

wasn't A-1 established by Sony (Aniplex) themselves, which make it Sony-owned studio from the start?

plus, I'm pretty sure that anime studios being sweatshop is already an issue across studios, not just Sony

No wonder the music I bought from playstation has no cover image and no number... just pulled from a folder and they did not even bother putting a category.
