Disney+ lacks anime, Should Disney make a Kingdom Hearts anime? How should they approach it?

I'm sure they own some of it, like Marvel's Future Avengers.
Disk Wars might be different since it had a toyline.
The Madhouse productions might be theirs too. But they could be waiting to launch the service on other regions that are used to Japanese content.
A Star Wars anime, I wouldn't be interested, but it'd be a great movie to engage directly one of the few overseas territories where the brand is still relevant which chances of growing. (Also France)
"Gawrsh"
Seriously tho, the platform doesn't need it, and the company owns another platform (Hulu) to use in case it ever feels compelled to do so.
It's almost like the point of the franchise is original characters travelling through classic Disney movies.
Even anime fans are seemingly confused about this when you start getting threads asking if KH would be better without the Disney worlds.
The more I think about it, the more I believe the Star Wars anime idea is amazing, Disney+ or not.
It's one of the few ideas, that even if nostalgia-ridden and continuity-constrained, targets directly international and younger audiences, one of the giant blind holes for that franchise.
I'd be down for some Disney anime. Definitely curious to see what they would do with it.
Also, lol at people on their high horses just because they don't watch anime.

KH anime, from a business perspective, doesn't give Disney an edge since I doubt KH is a merchandising juggernaut, and the properties it crosses over are more popular than itself. (Unless it starts crossing with older / less known properties, as a gateway to the content in the platform itself?)
But I'd love to see the 365/2 Days manga in anime form :D

I want a Lucky Star Wars special featuring Konata and the gang nerding out over the Star Wars franchise.
But seriously, have Disk Wars and the Japanese Lilo and Stitch be on the service. Also have Toei Spider-Man too and finance a new show.
Lucky Chanel featuring Samuel L. Jackson would be epic.

I predict that Disney is going to be using Hulu as its hub for anime. The streaming service already has a market in Japan.
there are so many random unexplored elements in Kingdom Hearts they could pull off a spin-off. A straight adaptation would be kinda pointless.
What's more of an issue is how they'd handle the actual Disney properties. Would they animate them in the styles of the original cartoons, or anime 'em up?
But yeah I'd be all for an anime studio taking a crack at Star Wars or Marvel or like... The Muppets. Give me a Muppet show anime that's basically a slightly family friendlier Aggretsuko.

They had Ghibli's entire catalog and dropped it due to low profit margins so...I don't have much faith in them doing a well produced Anime program. Maybe they'll do a KH series if it out performed Disney Infinity by a wide margin.
Make it canonical and make it essential to following the plot of the game. Also make every episode chronologically out of order and introduce more characters. Potentially have something the games set up be the big climax and then never mention it in the games again.
It wouldn't surprise me if some of their older 80's shows were animated in Japan like Transformers and GI Joe?
They tried once, surprised no-one mentioned it.
Somehow I don't think anime really fits the Disney brand.
Shows outsourced to Japan not withstanding.

I love anime, it's basically all I watch.
I also love Kingdom Hearts.
We do not need or want a god damn KH anime.

Yeah I'm sure they think like this
"You know there's a pretty big market for Japanese animation"
"Lmao let's never ever exploit it, let Netflix have all of it"
"Yeah for sure lol"
I can't believe you would think that I'm suggesting that Anime as an entire collection of media is somehow competing with Disney, yet here you are.

They don't make porn either, man look at all that extra money and subs they are missing. They will live without the anime market

They absolutely need better and more diverse original content on Disney+.
Disney doesn't even make traditionally animated cartoons anymore. I'd bet my ass if they make a KH show, it would be live-action.

such a niche market, lol https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ne...s-continued-growth-in-overseas-market/.130302
