Industry Trends and Drivers:
• Global Streaming Dominance and Accessibility:
The greatest change has been the globalization of anime distribution enabled by anime streaming services such as Crunchyroll, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. Previously, regional licensing barriers to the international content distribution of anime complicated access for non-Japanese fans, leading to piracy. Simulcasting, or the priority of being close to simultaneous in global release, has largely removed the geographic barrier of access to anime, and transformed anime viewing from niche to mass-market entertainment. ONA production has also added back catalogs and original works to internet streaming services, with as a result an important increase in the genre’s audience in both the domestic and international markets, from niche and specialized fanbases into hundreds of millions of casual viewers. This created a new, continual revenue stream for the streaming services that distribute them.
• Expansion of Transmedia Intellectual Property (IP):
The financial success of anime can likely be attributed to the fact that anime series often serve as the flagship of massive transmedia Intellectual Property (IP) franchises. The anime adaptation is, effectively, a big-budget commercial for the original source material (usually manga) and its associated merchandise. This gives a much better return on the investment over time than broadcast or streaming licenses, so once a series has become a success in anime form, it is almost immediately monetized through other outlets like video games (especially mobile gacha games), collectibles, music, and theme parks. This thereby reduces financial risk for producers: the anime’s primary purpose is to show the IP’s commercial viability and fan base, so that a single hit series can generate sustainable income across multiple media sectors for years to come.
• Rise of International Investment and Co-Production:
A more recent trend has seen major non-Japanese entertainment companies investing in and co-producing anime. While initial storyboarding and art direction are normally still located in Japan, companies from China, the United States and other major markets are increasingly putting money into the development and financing of anime from its earliest stages. Foreign investment allows production committees to grant animation studios much higher budgets, more variety in story and theme, and flexibility in meeting the high quality standards of the international market. The higher budgets also take some of the pressure off the demanding schedules animation studios face, which in turn has allowed even more rapid growth in the number of series produced. Such external financing helps Japanese production companies share the production risk, but more importantly, provides a means of quickly building production capacity to meet the huge and growing demand for global streaming content.
