With the advancement of technology, the rules of the anime have been forced to change; that said, the race to grab a slice of this industry is only just beginning. This week, a report confirms that the publisher Kadokawa intends to open its own anime studio.

The popular publisher intends to expand its business by becoming wholly owned by Kadokawa Corporation. This information came via Animation Business Japan, which reported on a new document released by the company. However, Kadokawa 's already strong presence in the anime industry justifies this decision.

Regarding the industry's future plans, Animation Business Japan says: Kadokawa is interested in producing longer-running programs. We could do this by increasing seasons with more episodes or by approving multiple seasons. We'll have to see if this goal materializes in the long term. But for now, it seems Kadokawa is moving full steam ahead with its new anime project.

Finally, what do you think of this news?
