It has been revealed that publishing company Alphapolis has acquired all shares of WHITE FOX, an anime production company known for the anime "Re:Zero" and made it a wholly owned subsidiary.
Alphapolis has published popular light novels and manga online. The company aims to expand its business in various ways, including media development such as anime, merchandise sales, and games. It has positioned "expanding the anime business" as a key mid-term strategy, and is actively promoting the anime adaptation of its own IP and increasing its investment ratio in anime production.
By making WHITE FOX a wholly owned subsidiary, the company aims to further accelerate the animation of its own IP, expand overseas with high-quality animation, acquire new fan bases, and improve awareness and brand power of its works.
