Very happy to see HIDIVE did sign season 3 of “Oshi No Ko”, but I do have to wonder if it was a very late deal. Crunchyroll announced signing it months in advance. HIDIVE confirmed it yesterday, way too late to drive subscriptions.

Things I find interesting with ACS:
1. iWork apps are now going Freemium (remember when they were outright paid?)
2. You can still buy the apps separately, so if I already own Final Cut, do I keep that license if I switch to ACS?
