  The MagicBox Forums - Dengeki and Famitsu now owns by the same company!
Yesterday, Kadokawa Shoten announced their purchase of ASCII, and with it Enterbrain, publishers of Famitsu.
Kadokawa are already the principal owners of Mediaworks, the publisher of Dengeki magazines, so with this move they become the strongest company in game media.
The president of Kadokawa commented, "The industry's number one brand, "Famitsu", will continue to exist." To emphasise the difference between the two brands, they will use one for general publications and the other for "Mania" publications.

 Virus
Among the first movies to appear from Kadokawa Eiga were a series of films based on popular mystery stories featuring the detective Kindaichi Kôsuke; Kadokawa did his best to ensure the success of his first movie by bringing in legendary director Ichikawa Kon to helm it.
Though Kadokawa himself was removed from his position in the wake of a drug scandal in 1992, the film company he started remains successful today.
Part of the reason Kadokawa's pet project failed was its script: in spite of a gripping opening, in which the end of almost all vertebrate life on Earth is condensed into about a half-hour, the movie bogs down into a bunch of silly, often naïve sub-plots.
