Numbers, numbers... Is this working? Better yet, does anyone get this reference? Never mind... Yes! This week, Frankfurtter and MagicallyAverage are talking business! Specifically, the bakabois are recapping the latest Association of Japanese Animations symposium where industry leaders talk about the current state of anime. The topics included investing in the current labor market, capitalizing on overseas market demand, and improving marketing strategies. Even in a competitive market, it's refreshing to know that the leading production studios are collaborating with one another in an effort to improve the overall industry and create a thriving market for years to come. Can't say much for Crunchyroll on this front as they are continuing their focus on the event being hosted ahead of AnimeNYC where industry leaders are attending to simply stroke Crunchyroll's massive ego... Hooray. </p><p><br></p><p>Articles Referenced:</p><ul><li>https://animecorner.me/george-wada-calls-for-a-japanese-anime-awards-as-criticisms-of-crunchyroll-anime-awards-return-for-another-year/</li><li>https://aja.gr.jp/english/japan-anime-data</li></ul><p>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><br></p><p>Twitch: Bakacopodcast</p><p>TikTok: @bakacopodcast</p><p>Instagram: @bakacopodcast</p><p>BlueSky: @bakaco.bsky.social</p><p>YouTube: @bakacopodcast</p><p><br></p><p>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><br></p><p>#anime #animepodcast #podcast #manga #animenews #animereviews #animepreviews #animerecommendations #mangacollection</p>","author_name":"Baka&Company"}
