The 25 Highest-Grossing Media Franchises ever
>>274860825Wtf is anpanman and why did he sell so well?
>>274861291Japanese toddler franchise. Sells extremely well because parents remember him from their own childhood and will buy stuff featuring him for their kids instead of new IPs they have no familiarity with.Same reason Sesame Street is such a massive success in burgerland.
>>274860825Eh...
I'll never believe this chart due to Whonnie the Who being over the evil worldwide rat, for much I hate the brand that must not me named.
>>274860825>fist of north star is one of the best gaming franchiseswhat??? does anyone know how it sold so much?
>>274860825How old was everyone when they realized the Pokemon list was a catalogue for merch, and they even did stuff for kids to remember them all like making the Pokerap song?
>>274861647Pachinko?
>>274861704Oh that's stupid. Fuck japanese boomers. They need to die out and let the young people rebuild the nation.
>>274861647Hokuto no Ken pachislot machines make really big bucks.That said these lists are all based on a shitty wikipedia article with pretty inaccurate data. I know the reason it claims "Pokemon manga" sells so much is because it counts every sale of every magazine that has some kind of Pokemon content in it as "Pokemon manga" even if it's just 5 pages of Pokemon 4koma in a 600 page magazine.
>Anpanman mogging MCUEverytime
>>274861749Isn't that how they do it for all manga? I think I read something like One Piece did over a million or some stupid number
>>274860825>Winnie The Pooh that highwut?
>>274861749It's bullshit but I far prefer this kind of bs than some asspulled bs coefficient for how much a magazine counts vs a tank for a series.
>>274861749Completely ignorant of the field of Pachinko/slot. What does an hypotetical Precure pachinkoslot do different than a Hokuto no Ken pachinkoslot machine?
>>274861976I would imagine it's just how plentiful they are
>>274861779It's really inconsistent since the article is just a ton of random retards trying to find individual numbers they can source.
>>274860825>Top 1 and 2 are japanese franchises >Lose WW2 and get nuked twice>Completely rape america on franchises 80 years laterAren't Americans ashamed?
>>274861976Nothing, it's just branding. Same as the difference between Precure socks and Hokuto no Ken socks.
>>274862079No, japanese quality goes back a long time. I was curious about WW2 and watched a docu about planes. Japanese have always made better planes than us. The mitsubishi zero kicked our ass but they didn't have the material to make enough.
>>274860825>>274861587Is the Winnie the Pooh franchise British?
>>274862776"Winnie the Pooh" is the American Disney version of the British "Winnie-the-Pooh" franchise.
>salesfag threadkill yourself
>>274862632This is from a hearsay that I read, but what about the lacks of safety features on the zero? I read that western engineers were scared at how little thought were given for the pilot of the zero. In comparison, American pilot were even given gold coin in their kit, in case they were downed and need to rely on local for safety.
>>274860825One piss okamas...
>>274860825WHERE THE FUCK IS SOLO LEVELING???
>>274862079Americans lost their shame in the 60s.
>>274860825Solo bros...
>>274863410>>274863448More like Solo Labeling
Needs to be adjusted for inflation
>>274863211Just don't get shot down. Unironic skill issue. Japanese pilots were simply superior.
>>274860825Why there is no webtoon? Isn't webtoon readed by billion of people?
>>274864808It makes no money.
>>274863843>>274863211They were losing a shitload of pilots near the end. Kamikaze pilots were a case of: >we have no more veteran pilots but a shitload of planes and a bunch of kids
>>274864865But billion peoples mean billion of ads money, why?
>>274865017Ads don't make that much money.
>>274865038Does bots count though?
>>274865117It still not enough. A lot of people read webtoons in sites that aren't official.
>>274865149How many people?
>>274861291If anime is likened to a river, isekai anime is in the downstream area of the river, while anpanman is in the upstream area of the river or even the source area of the river.As long as the Japanese have not been extinct and new babies are born every year, anime for babies will always be a necessity of life. In modern society, no baby will lack baby products such as cribs, diapers, baby bottles, baby food, baby toys, and baby sleep music CDs. Therefore, baby anime can easily make a lot of money because there are very few competitors and a monopoly can be formed in the source area of the animation industry.There are many competitors for adult anime, and anime is not a necessity for adults. Adults do not have a strong motivation to buy anime, so the sales of adult anime are generally poor, especially isekai anime.
>>274864865In other word: Nobody give a shit about webtoon
how does pooh do in japanwhat if they made a pooh anime
>Webtoonshills seriously thought they were going to become mainstreamI thought you guys were just shitposters
>>274865234Not enough to matter. Webtoon does not make money. Maybe one day, it will outsell a capeshit comic.
>>274865266>how does pooh do in japan
>>274865266Pooh is absurdly popular there.>what if they made a pooh animeCould happen now that it's public domain, but it probably wouldn't affect much, the popularity is heavily tied to the Disney design and that's not public domain.
>>274860825I'm pretty sure Dungeon Fighter should be on that list if Pokemon and Mario are.
>>274860825>remove merch from the count >suddenly Mario is #1 and like double that of #2Why are people so crazy over toys and shirts instead of the series main product itself.
Pokemon? The best.
>>274861729Calm down. Pachinko is not your enemy.
>>274865225Is that fucking one piece curry
>>274868012Anon I got Saber wine bottle when I went to Japan. You can find almost any product with an anime girl on top.
>>274860825"Disney princesses" is retarded to even consider separate from disney
>>274860825>Lightning McQueen has made more money than Wan PissKACHOW
>>274868359based Cars chad
>>274860825It’s weird to me that HnK is here and not something like Naruto or JJBA
>>274860825>Spider-CHAD alone is above Juan Piss, SHITgon SHIT and other tranimeMy FUARKKINGGGGGGGGG HEROOOOOO!!!
>>274865842You’re only buying one copy of a game compared to all the different types of merch out there. Kids and their parents buying those Pikachu themed bed sheets for them are also the biggest driver of sales.
>>274865225I love Doraemon.
>>274865842Extremely cheap to make and slap on anything. It costs virtually nothing to print a picture of Pikachu on a T-shirt and flip it for extreme profit margins.
>>274860825Where is Solo Leveling? It's better than 95% of Japan animes
>>274860825>>274870948>>274869827Solo Leveling is popular on /a/ and the best anime of 2024 - 2025
>>274865766Chinks aren't human, and same with gook grindfest, the people who played these crap aren't human
>>274860825PokeCHADS keep winning
>>274860825>stats>not anime/manga subjectoff topic general kuso thread
>>274860825>>>/jp/
where is trans leveling? Shills told me is gonna be the next one piss.
>>274862632Sounds like you watched a terrible documentary.>>274863211The zero was designed around weight saving they would've compromised performance.
>>274871591It say Shounen Jump right there in the OP
>>274864808More like billion of bots>>274864865It makes no money and no one except koreaboo read that amateurish chicken scratch shit, not even Korean themselves
>>274863843>Just don't get shot downthats why they lost, skill issue on the japaness side
>>274861291>the state of /a/
>>274861291why is the average anon an illiterate uneducated pleb?
>>274868802>spidernigga fetting overtaken by franchise half a century youngerpathetic
>>274868293They're separating all the Disney stuff into individual character-based franchises, there's no "Disney characters" entry there. Mickey Mouse and Pooh alone (that merch is 99% Disney Pooh merch) is enough to crush Pokemon.
>>274868802Juan Pissbros....we lost to a single character.
Ufotable has opened 10 cafes in the past few years. Ufotable is indeed more business-savvy than most animation studios.
>>274865842>remove video toys>Mario who?
>>274865017>>274865117please learn English
>>274870984bot post
>>274871448Goyim aren't human either, but I don't see Star Wars, Capeshit, and Disney being omitted from that ranking.
>>274865766DnF mogs half that list
