They NEED to start selling inhouse and get their own english voice actors to control the dub and subs, there's plenty of foreigners living in Japan with work visas so it should be easy enough. Cut off Funi and all the other western countries.
I'd rather they showed preferential treatment to Sentai instead, provided they can keep from going woke. That's due to them being the bastard offspring of ADV, who did all sorts of things to drop the price to the consumer, while pushing higher quality translations. ADV just happened to die from spending too much on titles that didn't pan out, because Funi kept bidding them up.
There was an subtitled anime streaming service from one of the japanese companies a few years ago. I can't find information anywhere on it, so I assume it failed. Can't even remember it's name.
The Japanese distribution companies should seize the opportunity and try to take over the Western comics market too. Bring on some of the indie creators and directly compete against Diamond.
Japan is slow to change so it'll take a few years for that to happen. Streaming is finally starting to replace cd's for example and they're just NOW figuring out leftist westerners are fucking crazy when we've been dealing with it for 7 years now.

That is a tall order for a Western entertainment company in the year of our Lord 2021.
I’d just prefer more (non-woke) dubbing companies to exist in general.
Who knew that Live Action Evangelion was a bad idea? /s

Are you sure it wasn't just Sentai's HiDive?
that was it.
