Now, I know that my relative quietness of late means I haven’t covered as much, but back on the 11th ANN reported that GDH had gotten some additional capital from Iwakaze Capital, an investment firm who also made a take-over offer at the same time.
ICv2 now reports that GDH has accepted the offer, and now the company’s management will be replaced by October 1st. It’s still too early to say what, if any, effect this will have on Gonzo’s current and upcoming anime, or their US release strategy with CrunchyRoll. But it does seem to prevent the Gonzo ship from sinking, so we’ll call this a good thing for the moment.

Hopefully their anime in production are held under contract or something along those lines, I would hate to see their upcoming release cancel in any form. Beside that I’m hoping nothing happenings to Shagri-la, its a rare chance to see an assemble of quality staff handling this project.
