TOKYO — The worldwide surge in popularity of Japanese anime has caused production costs to increase by more than 50% over recent years. This rise is largely attributed to streaming services investing heavily in anime content to attract and retain subscribers. Studios are facing increased pressure to secure talented creators as demand intensifies.
Streaming platforms, including Crunchyroll, are actively acquiring distribution rights for Japanese anime, further fueling the competitive market and escalating production expenses.
