There aren’t enough turbo normies or turbo autists for this to be real
it's still cheap enough that casual nerds can let it get lost in their credit card statement month after month between seasons of Boku no Pico Academia or sessions of going UWU What's This? at lame ecchi you dropped twenty years ago
>normiesFuck off, normalfag.
>pure profit as anime studios are either taking shitty deals or are locked into awful contracts they signed in the 2010sSounds like bullshit. Most series that people watch are from the 2020s and CR isn't going to deal with anime studios unless they are part of the production committee.
>>287965682CR is literally the worst thing to happen to the sphere in the past 20 years and that's why. Every time CR bullies their way into the committy it shows
Didn't readBuy an ad
>>287965944stop beating around the bush and assassinate their CEO, as well as the next ten replacement CEO's
>>287965331Good for them I guess, but how exactly is this relevant to this board?
>>287966585Anime as a business is discussable here yes? Just like how video game and comic books have business discussion on their respective boards
>>287966883Crunchyroll is an anime streaming siteAnime streaming sites are not animeBuy an ad
>>287965944why buy an ad when you can pay off the jannies like MangaMex?
>>287965682But Sony also owns Aniplex. They are basically in every production committee and can get the best distribution deals.
>>287967129implying fake-oldfag nu-/a/nons even know that Sony is a Japanese company
>>287966914Would you make the same remark on a thread about nyaa?
>>287965331Anime licenses are mostly cheap, until it's something very hyped.
>>287965331>How the fuck did this happen?Anime and Vidya are basically the major global pastimes for the 40 and under demo. Vidya is becoming too expensive, while anime is cheaper and readily more available. Western animation is dead outside of star wars and the occasional franco-belgian product. It takes 5-6 years for a western live action show to make 2 seasons of content. Anime can meet a demand that other forms of media can't even get close to.
>>287965577>sessions of going UWU What's This?Fucking kek
Why don't they crack down harder on the whole anime scene (pirates)?
>IMG_>CR>normies/a/ is healing
>>287965331>>movie distribution is thriving. Demon slayer especiallyDemon Slayer is an outlier, and shouldn't be representative of anime movies. And it opened in over 3000+ theaters nationwide but still fell off by -75% after just one weekend. Only the fans showed up because anime movies are always fan-driven. Still, for a movie within its niche, it was a success.Other anime movies aren't like that, though. Chainsaw Man didn't benefit from Demon Slayer at all. It had a big opening but fell off by -65% after just one weekend and it declined as weeks went by. It opened with $18M then second weekend it made $6M, third weekend it made $3M, fourth weekend it made $1M fifth weekend it made $600K then it vanished almost instantly. >>287969230>Western animation is dead outside of star wars and the occasional franco-belgian product. It takes 5-6 years for a western live action show to make 2 seasons of content. Anime can meet a demand that other forms of media can't even get close to.Will you seriously stop with this pigshit? Anime industry is NOTORIOUS for biohazard-level working conditions and pay rate. MAPPA, the studio behind JJK and CSM, is one of the worst offenders of abusing their animators through extreme production schedules and inadequate compensation. They even made staff sign NDAs to prevent them from speaking publicly about the poor working conditions. Shit, a former Ufotable animator called them out years ago for refusing her maternity leave and even rejecting her offer to work from home. The anime industry overall is exploitative and hard to sustain a career in due to a hierarchical seniority.One of the reasons why Western animation, notably American, cost a lot and takes longer to produce is because they're produced in the US (except for the ones where they outsource like Invincible) and the boring truth is that voice actors and American production crew are unionized (SAG-AFTRA/Animation Guild) meaning a higher upfront labor thus a higher budge.
