I thought it was weird that they bought Sentai Filmworks back in January of this year. Wonder if they sell it now?

I'm kind of surprised that went down. Like I understand AMC was trying to expand its catalog/portfolio and Sentai was not in a favorable position in terms of licensing as it attempts to compete for licenses with an ever-stronger and well-connected Sony and high-spender Netflix. However I'm not sure if there was any benefit to being owned by AMC for them.

I agree with you. I was expecting Sony to buy them to have almost complete control over licensing and they would be the only one dubbing anime in the state of Texas.
