The article says "undisclosed" value, but I wonder how much ANN was worth. Their journalistic integrity is mixed, but there is no denying they have a considerable reach and sway over the opinions of English speaking anime fans. Of course, the question now is whether or not ANN benefits from working under Kadokawa: as memory serves, their finances haven’t been exactly the best, so if they’re under Kadokawa now, and they’re paying the writer's salaries, I wonder what the implications would be for their writers and editors.
