Is that so?

Studio KAI’s financial results for the fiscal year ending December 2024 report a final loss of 248 million yen, with an increased deficit and excessive liabilities… Productions include ‘Futo Detective’ and ‘Lupinana’.

Didn’t you say you were going to do Nube?

Because they create something like Shine Post…

I’ve started making my own Umamusume as well.

>>6

If there is a fourth season, I think it will be outsourced, just in case.

It’s fine now.

It’s because they are being acquired by companies like Kadokawa and Sony.

Why do anime studios die so quickly?

>>8

It’s because I have no rights even if I create it.

>>10

However, that said, if we venture into creating our own original products, there is a risk of immediate failure if we stumble…

Gonzo went bankrupt twice because of that.

Like Fuzz Entertainment

I wanted to make Lupanana, but it turned out quite well…

What is it?

I’m just saying that each period has been in debt by about 1.5 billion in total.

The Asatsu group is indeed an established player…

I had the impression that you put in a lot of effort every time, but is the yield bad?

>>15

“To strive in anime production is a euphemism for death.”

>>15

There was a time when CloverWorks was also running a deficit.

Why do anime studios die so quickly?

Are you becoming more and more independent, creating new things one after another?

>>18

It might be because there are many cases where people from the production field take staff and become independent…

It feels like there are a lot of Tamahome houses being built in real estate…

It’s appreciated as a viewer, but…

Isn’t it like a chicken race now with so many high-quality anime studios?

>>19

There are also a lot of studios that are like garbage, even though that’s the case…

Even if a work from “Narou” that isn’t top-tier gets animated, it ends up being assigned to a terrible studio.

>>19

It’s tough because even though it’s a TV show, they’re expected to deliver movie-quality work, so animators are complaining about it…

Wasn’t Nube supposed to be on standby?

MAPPA has had many negative rumors since the time of Dororo, but

I often think how can they maintain such a high level of quality.

It seems that the anime Uma Musume merchandise is selling fairly well, but I wonder how the profits are distributed in that area.

>>24

It seems that while they are the primary contractor, they are not part of the production committee, so they probably haven’t received a single yen.

>>27

Seriously…? How sad…

>>30

It means that the production committee doesn’t bite, that’s what it means.

If the publisher properly manages the print run

I would probably request a big studio…

Futo was even featured in the movie version.

>>28

Where can I find this information? I’m curious.

WIT also got into debt of 800 million and returned to IG…

They say that payments to overseas subcontractors are also increasing due to the depreciation of the yen.

>>31

The flow of the rising yen.

Due to slight exchange rate fluctuations.

Subcontractors are just being squeezed.

Wait a minute, it would be a problem if the hero dies before the broadcast.

In this case, there are often situations where other Asatsu series are involved as producers, so it can’t be said definitively.

In the end, whether or not you succeed on Narou depends on your sense for selecting works.

The anime adaptation of Kamen Rider feels quite niche.

>>38

I’m in trouble; it’s someone I’ve hardly ever heard of.

Where do anime studios generate their profits from?

Does it change depending on the quality of the anime?

I only understand Futo Detective…

Is Mizui Gin Soda an alcoholic beverage from Suntory?

Aside from Kamen Rider and the villainess, everything else is a Hololive PV.

If you want to make a profit and invest in your own company, there’s a risk of bankruptcy with just a slight misstep.

However, if you continue to play it safe and create works for other companies, the rights will belong to those companies, and there will be no profit.

It seems that there is no choice but to become part of a major group company.

Is there a deficit despite having a production record because of the investments too?

If you want to overcome the deficit

I guess the only options are to create more or to invest and try my luck.

If a manga artist with definitely sellable content were to create an anime studio, wouldn’t that be good?

>>49

Mushi Pro…

>>49

The reason animators are still in deep poverty is because of the god of manga…

>>53

You’re like a fossil still saying that.

>>49

What are you going to do after making one…

Cyber Agent, please absorb me!

If I were to be greedy, I want to see an anime at the level of BAHARI MAX every season!

>>54

I feel like there have been quite a few every season lately.

>>54

OK! Bahasoul!

>>54

If you’re asking for a max level of Bahari even in the script, it raises the bar a bit.

Whether it’s a fossil or something else, it’s a fact that such a system has continued until now.

I wonder if just making it won’t turn a profit.

>>58

If you’re just making it, it’s a serious hand-to-mouth situation.

In any case, the only way to make a profit will be to increase the quantity.

It wasn’t bad.

It was full of values from the original work.

It was fairly successful.

I just couldn’t make a profit.

There are many things that feel like that.

>>59

Isn’t it the toughest?

>>59

Isn’t it irrelevant if you haven’t invested in this area?

It may affect the presence or absence of the next job, but…

Even though it seems like they won’t be profitable, the fact that there are so many anime studios means it’s a lucrative world.

I was wondering what it was, but it’s almost just an anime music video.

In an MV, I guess not much money would come in…

Basically, most anime companies have their losses supported by their parent companies or sponsors.

The Futo Detective was in the red…

There are many cheap jobs, which is probably not good, but the ones accepting them are also at fault.
