10:04:55 <bay|AX|Daisuki> so we invited other companies who do anime business, we're aware there are other companies outside that do business in this space, but we'd like to challenge as the japanese company (partially paraphrased)
10:05:16 <bay|AX|Daisuki> and not only streaming anime, but what we'd like to do is business in the surrounding enviroment
10:05:54 <bay|AX|Daisuki> and bandai's traditional model is show anime on tv and sell merch

10:06:38 <bay|AX|Daisuki> and what we are targeting is streaming without borders, globally
10:07:01 <bay|AX|Daisuki> so not limited by territory by territory, we want to make anime avialable worldwide in japanese with english subtitles

10:18:44 <bay|AX|Daisuki> (and this translator is just as hard to follow)
10:20:21 <bay|AX|Daisuki> (Questions have been which work he feels the most attachment to)

10:38:46 <bay|AX|Daisuki> Q&A...
10:39:27 <bay|AX|Daisuki> Q: For Mr. Aikawa, are there any other contemporary writers who influenced you since you?
10:39:54 <bay|AX|Daisuki> Q: The survey you created when the site first came up included pretty cure, are you still looking at streaming that?
10:40:36 <bay|AX|Daisuki> A: We may... (translation that was not even close to what he said)
10:40:55 <bay|AX|Daisuki> Q: When will Daisuki be available on OTT devices like Xbox one, Playstation, Roku, etc
10:41:11 <bay|AX|Daisuki> A: We want to do as soon as possible
10:43:45 <bay|AX|Daisuki> Q How do you plan to differentiate yourself from other streaming services?
10:46:45 <bay|AX|Daisuki> A: One thing we can differentiate is because we're very close with the creators, so we can start informing(?) with lots information, which is one of the things that crunchyroll doesn't have... and there are lots of other things which we're thinking about which we cannot say (again, the JP answer had far more information in it)
10:46:09 <bay|AX|Daisuki> (to clarify the above, he's saying news directly from creators)
10:48:19 <bay|AX|Daisuki> Thank you for coming
