Especially when you remember that all the Miyazaki films are put out by Disney, and they've proven to have a good deal of respect for anime. Perhaps it will mean that more/better merchandise will show up in stores? At least I'm hopeful for that maybe happening...

TuckyX wrote:I don't think Disney acquiring Shippuden is a big deal, or a surprise. Naruto is a super popular shonen (boys) series that is perfect for Disney XD, a channel geared towards young males. Shippuden, on Disney XD, isn't meant for hard core fans of the original anime. Disney knows that those fans already watch the subbed or raw version on streaming sites like Hulu or by downloading [REDACTED].
I've been a Marvel Comics fan since the early 90's. I think Disney buying Marvel is a good thing. Disney is usually pretty good about managing brands. Apart from maybe starting a kid friendly line of comics, Disney will most likely keep Marvel's main line the same. Marvel is a strong brand, with it's own identity. Disney knows better than to change it. Remember, Disney owns Touchstone and Miramax, both companies release films that do not fall into Disney's family friendly image.
Here's a link to an article covering the deal between Disney and Ghibli, and the past and present relationship between the two companies. Both companies have been working together a lot longer, and a lot closer, than most people might think. Sakuracon even plays a part in this story!
