If the market authorities authorize this, Sony will actually have a near monopoly on Japanese media.
There’s no way this doesn’t get blocked right?

Important to know, but is this really relevant to anime?
It would pretty much give Sony complete control of the industry through ownership of Aniplex and Kadokawa. BD prices would skyrocket…
Sony also owns Crunchyroll for digital distribution.

Yes. Kadokawa has several anime studio subsidiaries, and also publishes manga.
