How's anime doing economically? with japan in recession I wonder how things will be
The anime industry continues to grow as the international market continues to expand and China becomes more dominant.
Still not ripe for DIVERSITY and INCLUSIVENESS.
Basically this . I don't have the most recent charts but the trends continues.
Manga surpassed comics sales in the US for the first time so there is the risk that Disney/WB/Netflix will try to influence the market more by either buying or investing on IP in the next years.

> waifu template thread
> shonen thread
remember when Zig Forums actually had something funny?
me neither
And thankfully that will be a very long time off because China is a far bigger market than America will ever be.
please dont kill this thread
Dont have time to contribute yet
Japan's economy is in a recession because they refuse to use immigration for a temporary solution to their falling birthrates
Since that problem doesn't effect the anime market it is doing fine
>Japan's economy is in a recession because they refuse to use immigration for a temporary solution to their falling birthrates
good. Fuck growth for the sake of growth. We don't need any more people in the world either
europoor countrys do that and their birth rate still sucks
plus japan it's already open but it's for orther asians
SEAniggers are the arabs of asia tho
still less violents
that's because people can't afford it
>Disney/WB/Netflix will try to influence the market more by either buying or investing on IP in the next years.
What are the implications of this?
Hopefully never.
Look at hollywood capeshit for example. Those are the implications. But that'll also happen in the case of China (since as one marvel actor said that they are basically making movies for teens in china at this point). Basically same inserts you'd see in western movies/series + shorterm epic action dopamine hits.
Lesser peoples love shonen and capeshit
Immigration isn't a solution to the problem.
agreed, but also it isn't a problem
Japan has been in recession for decades yet. Maybe the new prime minister will fix things.
Millions of mangaka shut in at home, unable to go anywhere for a long period of time means 2021 may be interesting.
>Manga surpassed comics sales in the US
not that hard when you sell 10 floppies/month
>Manga surpassed comics sales in the US for the first time
Look everyone, this is what happens if you fuck creativity with censorship. Your own market dies.
Hopefully the same won't happen to manga in Japan.
they lost some money in the live event section, that's about it
thats the problem you have to import a shitload like america
also their social programs and taxes slow growth
I agree that's why I called it a temporarily one. Long term it would fuck the country's culture because the rate of immigration can't be integrated properly
>they refuse to use immigration for a temporary
But that's good.
Anime will get more popular as western media becomes more and more pozzed and boring.
But that's the weird thing. Many "people" that watch anime are those same ones who want media to become pozzed. I can't think of a fandom that has more trannies than anime.
Western weeb fandom has two extreme sides. One side got into it because nips do stuff that's too controversial, crazy or lewd in the West, while the other side wants to self-insert to the traps or watches it for some bs like "LGBT representation".
>Manga surpassed comics sales in the US for the first time
That says more about how much of a joke American comic books are than the dominance of manga.
>so there is the risk that Disney/WB/Netflix will try to influence the market more by either buying or investing on IP in the next years.
Doubtful, and if it does happen, those same projects they back will flounder around helplessly since nobody wants to buy comics/manga that purposefully antagonizes their primary demographics. How much more wokeshit must Marvel/DC mill through as their grip on a market they once dominated with an iron fist loosens?
The West is becoming more and more irrelevant as America collapses. Asia is the future and they don't tolerate identity politics.
These same people think that having a gay character is "taking a risk" and "bold", when in reality, it's just the publishers desperately throwing out nets.
>How much more wokeshit must Marvel/DC mill through as their grip on a market they once dominated with an iron fist loosens?
They don't care. Comics make very little money for them even before this. It's all about the movies and other merchandise now. Nowadays, comics just act as a vehicle for these companies to test out new ideas and generate progressive PR.
