Wow…if you haven’t heard the news, this one’s gonna hit you hard if you’re an anime fan. Breaking around 11am this morning from Anime News Network, RightStuf has been acquired by Crunchyroll, and thus will now close down on October 10th, 2023. There’s more information coming out about it, but if you’re looking for the brunt of it, we have the link from ANN themselves down below. We kinda weren’t really expecting this, but with how large Crunchyroll has gotten since being bought by Sony, this was going to come eventually – just not this soon. We don’t know how the rest of the anime community is feeling, but for the time that we were affiliated with (and bought stuff from) RightStuf, those guys n’ gals were awesome. Farewell old friend, you will be missed…

I just found out about this news not too long. It’s kind of a shock. I really love using Right Stuf.

We found out about it late this morning, and we haven’t been affiliates with them that long. We’ve bought many products and DVDs from them, and it does feel like the end of an era.

I’m still processing this news. I wonder how is this going to affect people with Right Stuf accounts and pending orders. Are we going to be transferred over there? I am waiting for answers from them.

From what we know, they say that any RightStuf orders that are pending/in transit, won’t be disrupted. Hopefully we get more info sooner than later, but that’s all we were able to find out.
