    I can already imagine the market being flooded with both adaptations and anime made on the fly, and you look at it all and think, damn, I’ll never watch that much in my life, why the hell are there so many of them, they’re not even all that different from each other, complete crap, so what should I watch and is there any point at all?

        He was arrested in September 2022 on allegations of bribing an executive related to the Tokyo Olympics in exchange for KADOKAWA receiving preferential sponsorship treatment.

        He was later charged by prosecutors and stepped down as chairman of the company on October 4, 2022. He denies the charge. KADOKAWA’s current CEO, Takeshi Natsuno, confirmed as recently as March 2025 that Tsuguhiko is barred from meeting with him and is not involved in the company (Toyo Keizai). Despite Tsuguhiko’s lack of involvement with KADOKAWA, which is active in conventional and short anime while also “actively investing” in AI for production, his words underscore a growing trend.
