Shifts in Anime Production and Business Models
As the global fandom and business has scaled, anime production has evolved as well. Where once a single studio would produce an entire series alone, shows now frequently involve several studios collaborating on different production roles or seasons. International funding partnerships have also grown common. Popular new series might have collaboration between Japanese, American, and Chinese production and licensing partners.
New distribution models have affected production schedules too - where TV broadcast used to dictate pacing, streaming platforms now impact release strategies. The direct-to-video OVA and film models have allowed for stories not confined to traditional TV episode counts. New crowdfunding initiatives have allowed grassroots anime projects to find backing as well. The business side of anime has matured to be a truly global industry today.
