 As part of Bandai Namco Holdings' 3-year roadmap through March 2018, the company announced on Thursday it will spin off a new production company, Bandai Namco Pictures, from the animation studio Sunrise. The new company will be established in April 2015 and headed by current Sunrise chief executive Yasuo Miyagawa.This move is part of plans by Bandai Namco to strengthen its capacity in generating intellectual property (IP), focusing on the creation of IP products and services. Sunrise, along with Bandai Visual, will continue to be responsible for the Mobile Suit Gundam series. Meanwhile, Bandai Namco Pictures will focus on content such as Aikatsu! which are oriented toward families and children. Bandai Namco has made aggressive plans to expand its production business overseas. It will also strengthen its live event production (including live viewings and video content) and sales of related goods. Source: Bandai Namco Holdings press release |

| That means we may get X and Victory licensed on DVD at the very least. |

| I don't think IDOLM@STER is under this umbrella of Bandai Namco. However, Love Live! was what came to my mind when they alluded to the live viewings, especially with their recent concert. |
| If they're splitting from Sunrise, does that mean Sunrise will have more time to work on their projects? DOES THAT MEAN ACCEL WORLD 2!? |
| If so, a debut @ a major con would be imminent. |

The anime was a solid 8-9K seller that i recall with the first volume actually passing the 10K mark and the year it came out the LN sold over a million copies. The only reason there's no new Accel World already is in the OP. Its Sunrise and they'd rather focus on developing their own IPs which is a luxury not available to most studios adapting LNs and mainly doing contract work. Plus when you have Love Live which is like the hottest IP out there right now and you own it there's almost no incentive to stop and do a job for another company that benefits your end less. Sad reality cause I'd love more Accel World too. Sunrise also did Horizon on The Middle of Nowhere which by the second season was pretty mucha 20K seller and then they just kind of stopped doing LN adaptations for the same reason as above. They pretty much stopped doing adaptations period though around the same time Gintama is going to be the first in a while that I know of. |

Speaking of Love Live do you think the series will end after the film or will there be a third season with some new characters or Arisa and Yukiho joining μ's. |
|
| I wonder if that means it will still be involved directly with Gintama (2015). Interesting news though. For those who are hoping for Accel World 2, maybe the next announcement at the Dengeki Festival will reveal something. |

Speaking of Love Live do you think the series will end after the film or will there be a third season with some new characters or Arisa and Yukiho joining μ's. Well considering its managed to stay popular in the absence of an anime and have another gold selling disc I think what will happen is that they'll hold off for a bit and then and do more if the reset of the multimedia starts to slow down. They've kind of always been about trying to develop that next hit IP after all. In any case my hope is that this returns Sunrise a bit to the times before their acquisition by Bandai and allows them to be semi autonomous and pursue their own goals rather than just Bandais. Provided Bandai doesn't take all their best animators. |

This reorganization only affects IP content that is currently managed by Sunrise, so IDOLM@STER should not be involved. |
| What does that mean for Gintama? |
 |
| Aikatsu gets it's own anime company :D good, as it should be and most certainly looking forward to more kids-oriented show made by them. speaking of it, I wonder if Tribe Cool Crew will remain with Sunrise or will it go to Bandai Namco Pictures (which makes sense looking at to whom it's aimed). |

| Heeeeh. And here I thought they were dead back in 2013, but then we got Xillia & Zestiria with J.C.Staff key animation and now this. Huh. This sure will be interesting. destructo22 said: idolm@ster and love live events overseas? that's what they're saying, right???? great nippon will never let filthy gaijin touch their lovely im@s |
| I hope this means we will get more Gundam like Unicorn and less like Gundam Age/Build Fighters (though I kinda liked this one). |

| In a nutshell, this means more money for Sunrise... After the fantastic 2014 they had, they are going for more it seems... |

Why would you think this would happen? If anything doesn't it just mean they have more resources for Gundam in general? I think shows like Gundam Age and Build Fighters were pushed more by Bandai than Sunrise. That's just conjecture on my part but I feel it was just there to appeal to a younger generation and for selling gunpla. I'm saying that because Bandai and Sunrise split they will definitely have more time and resources for Gundam and hopefully do more shows like Unicorn and older Gundams. Instead of reinventing the series for a new generation. |

| The only Sunrise series I care about is Gintama. As long as Gintama is save, I'm ok with everything they do. |

It sold well enough to warrant a second season, and the author himself said he's interested in doing one, the problem was with Sunrise having zero time on there hands for that project. |
