Their own production was Guardian Spice, and while it's finished, it's so shitty they won't even release it.
So really, if AT&T really want to license anime they can do that just fine by just going to the japanese studios, they don't need CR as a platform since they are going all in on HBO Max and can show any licensed anime there.
