Quack in your boots, Crunchyroll

In an update to the post about the streaming cancellations Calaggie points out that Manga Ent. puts the titles into several channels, and the material taken off Netflix remains available elsewhere (see You Must Survive of Gurren Lagann, for example). Naturally, rights owners will attempt to disintermediate Crunchyroll if only they think they can get away with it with regard to, say, exposure. As for Netflix, they probably fell victim to own greed.

Being oriented at the ownership, I'm not all that concerned about the maneuvering in the streaming space; its market impact is still dwarfed by the TV broadcasts anyway. But it's funny.
