On May 25, 2026, U-NEXT Holdings made a significant move in the entertainment industry by announcing its acquisition of the Osaka-based animation studio, GoHands.
2026年5月25日，U-NEXT Holdings在娛樂產業投下震撼彈，宣布收購總部位於大阪的動畫工作室GoHands。
By bringing GoHands under its umbrella, U-NEXT Holdings aims to control its entire pipeline—from the initial creation of intellectual property to the final animation production and distribution on its streaming service.
透過將GoHands納入麾下，U-NEXT Holdings旨在掌控從智慧財產權的初步創作，到最終動畫製作及在其串流服務上發行的整個流程。
This strategy reduces reliance on external partners and allows the company to adapt its own internal books and stories into anime more efficiently.
此策略降低了對外部合作夥伴的依賴，並使公司能更有效地將自有書籍與故事改編為動畫。
GoHands, founded in 2008, is well-regarded for its unique, highly stylized visual aesthetic and its disciplined approach to completing projects entirely in-house.
成立於2008年的GoHands，以其獨特、高度風格化的視覺美學，以及堅持所有專案皆在內部完成的嚴謹態度而聞名。
While the studio faced past challenges, such as the cancellation of the Tokyo Babylon project in 2021, its track record with hits like 'The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today' makes it a valuable asset.
儘管該工作室曾面臨挑戰，例如2021年取消了《東京巴比倫》項目，但其擁有如《能幹的貓今天也憂鬱》等熱門作品的紀錄，使其成為一項有價值的資產。
This acquisition reflects a growing industry trend where streaming platforms are transforming into comprehensive conglomerates to secure a competitive edge in the global anime market.
此次收購反映了產業日益增長的趨勢：串流平台正轉型為綜合性企業集團，以在全球動畫市場中確保競爭優勢。
