AMC Networks’ Sentai acquisition is the latest sign that anime is big business

AMC Networks (not the movie theater chain) has acquired the anime distributor Sentai from the Cool Japan Fund investment fund, the company announced Wednesday. As a result of the deal, AMC Networks will now own the anime-focused streaming service Hidive, which will join the company’s roster of targeted streaming services that already includes AMC Plus, Acorn TV, Shudder, Sundance Now, and ALLBLK. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.

The acquisition is the latest signal of the growing importance of anime content to entertainment companies. Perhaps the most notable anime push was Sony’s $1.175 billion purchase of anime streaming service Crunchyroll from AT&T, which brought Crunchyroll and another anime streaming giant, Funimation, under one roof. But other companies have also been beefing up their anime offerings; Netflix has a huge slate of anime series, while Disney was willing to make an anime anthology series of one of its biggest franchises: Star Wars.

“One Arrow 540 Stars”! SpaceX's ten-handed Falcon 9 rocket works wonders

北京时间1月13日23点25分,SpaceX在美国卡纳维拉尔角40号发射台成功执行了“Transporter3”发射任务,亮点多多,意义重大。 首先,执行这次发射任务的猎鹰9火箭编号B1058.10,这也是它的第十次飞行,而且再次回收成功。它也成为B1049、B1051之后,SpaceX的第三枚“十手火箭”。这次采用了陆地回收的方式,回收平台距离发射台只有几百米。这枚火箭第一次执行任务是2020年5月30日,仅仅用了19个月就完成了10次发射和回收,创下新纪录。第二,Transporter3是一次“太空拼车”任务,一共搭载了105颗来自世界各地的小卫星。其中最大的是地球成像卫星乌克兰Sich 2-1,重量170公斤,芬兰ICEYE、美国Capella/Umbra三家公司的五颗SAR雷达遥感卫星,44颗小型“超级鸽”光学成像卫星。2021年1月的Transporter 1发射了143颗小型卫星,6月Transporter 2则发射了88个小型卫星,三次任务合计达336颗。这种太空批车任务中,SpaceX的收费是每公斤5000美元,相当相当低廉了,也再次展示了可重复火箭的优势。第三,加上这次任务,B1058火箭已经累计发射了大约540颗卫星,总重量超过120吨。之前它曾经发射过大约290颗星链卫星,并为国际空间站发射过一次载人龙飞船任务、两次龙飞船补给任务,还执行过一次韩国地球静止轨道卫星的商业发射任务。
