>previous CN regime projects before the dank days of Tim and Eric
Hotter take, this announce is only taking place for a couple of reasons :
1) CN post their live action CN Real trash era has been running on fumes, and Jason Demarco is one of the lucky few that snagged the right connections with his Uzumaki project that somebody in the current WBA yarn knitting mess noticed that he was making "new content", and Demarco said "Well yeah, we'll just use animu studios because they're even cheaper to use today!"
2) This ain't the 70's to 90's anymore, most Japanese companies have a better grasp of their own international anime markets and in some cases some of the more recent purchases such as Crunchyroll being bought out fully by Sony :
https://archive.ph/QgVol, means they can't just walk up a be a middle man that can get animu on the cheap for fill in programming anymore. After Sony guts Crunchroll and keeps just the streaming service, and not to mention that more Japanese companies are just thinking to going to simulcast instead (to cut out the San Fran middle men) and HBO Max forcing the shut down of DC Nation, there's still a need to get more content, ANY Content that could be grabbed up by other streaming services. So they need one guy who can fake the funk as it were by using Uzumaki as a proof of concept of later shows they could fund and keep on their own platform.
