MASS PRODUCTION HAS BEEN ACTIVATED!

SHOE STATUS: LACED!

>According to the presentation, Toho will be shifting its anime production towards a “full-blown mass production phase.” By February 2029, the company expects to reach a quota of about 20 anime seasons released per year, aiming to achieve a production scope of 30 anime seasons per year by 2032. While this means Toho and its studios will be pumping out an increasing number of anime titles, the final goal of the strategy is to strengthen the revenue base for its IPs through multi-faceted monetization. This will also include long-term revenue from IP serialization, streaming, overseas expansion, and merchandise.

>Simultaneously, in order to support the scale of their mass-production phase, Toho will be looking to strengthen their production framework through both internal and external investment. While enhancing the capabilities of their in-house TOHO animation STUDIO and Science SARU, the company will also be actively collaborating with external studios. One part of this strategy is their recent investment in Beastars studio Orange.

Are we hyped, /a/?

Boogyman think. There's plenty of animators in JP especially on the lower skill end which is what they're recruiting from. It's not a high paying job but it's not like there's ever been a shortage of employees. Rolling out a new program like this will likely come with offers for training/agressive hiring campaigns.
>>287477483
I lost braincells reading this you might be retarded.
>>287477260
My only hope is that they're allocating decent resources to science saru and it doesn't impact the quality of their work. They have potential to be more or less a legend in the industry and have been on a roll qualitywise. Regardless of if you like their IPs or not the detail and effort put into their releases since they got the netflixbux has been out of this world.

Can you imagine the piece of shit studiofag that came here to try to "viral" this garbage?

what is it about viral superhits like demon slayer changing anime that makes toho think go cheaper and go smaller with isekai vomit

So even if they find the animators. What actual anime are they going to make. It's not even about paying animators. It's all going to be fucking slop isekai.

As opposed to all the high quality stuff we get every season now?
>>
>>287477260
Soon all already zero-effort and budget Narou-kei adaptations will be mass-produced entirely by GPU farms, and nobody will bat an eye because people who watch those have no standards. That's my takeaway from this.

This shit was garbage. I made it partway through season 3 before I had enough

Thirteen more seasons of seraph of the end, maybe more.

I like how many retards here are complaining about isekai but the link literally lists off their popular IPs they want to invest more money into.
>Freiren
>Kusuriya
>Dandadan
And more.
Yes it also lists things like MT, but I've heard it's decent quality I can't personally speak on it, but there's way more non isekai IPs than isekai listed. Retards here don't even bother reading, they just start typing their faggoty ESL opinions.

>>287478084
tbf from what i've seen sedance 2 already made better looking anime than your average narou adaptation

Cool, do you're worst, I won't watch what I don't wanna watch anyway :^)

>>287478166
All 3 of those are shit though
>>
>>287478166
Just what do you think "mass production" implies? You can't exactly mass produce three shows and fill a quote of "20 anime seasons released per year" with those.
>>
>>287478319
I can see them picking three or four long running shows a year and giving them 4 cours to save on repeating scenes and intros. That's well over half the quota already.
>>
>>287477260
what about this is supposed to make me hyped?

Unironically I hope it will be more power fantasy isekai slop. I know its slop but these are the kinds of shows I enjoy the most every season. Just turn your brain off and enjoy.

Well, let's hope you're right. I want you to be right. Otherwise, we're looking at a wave of cheaply made crap flooding the market here.

Toho will kill Isekai and themselves.

Previously demand was limited by Japanese broadcast time slots but with international markets and streaming platforms there's a much, much higher cap on anime demand now. I'm surprised it's taken this long for Japanese studios and producers to realize this, but I guess we can expect to see anime production accelerate rapidly.

I do wonder if the streaming bubble will eventually pop or continue to print free money for the next decade of anime somehow. i dunno the answer so i can't actually say if they're smart or dumb.

i genuinely cannot see any other option other than AI, pretty much every one of mega corps has said the same thing which begs the question of where they're going to find slaves to animate it.

Retard i am not making a panelling manga to anime comparison in the first place, read my post again ESLturd and if you require screencaps of the poor layouts, compositing and KA for the dandandan season 2 then rewatch the season but with your eyes open this time.

you made up a manga to anime comparison in your head because you have got poor reading comprehension. On the other hand i find it funny how you're so ignorant about animation, that as long as it looks shiny and different you don't notice any faults in it. Enjoy eating shit.

keep deluding yourself but your ophthalmologist visit seems to be due so get that done before watching dandadan season 3 when it drops, also read up and understand a bit about compositing and layouts as layouts ≠ manga panels.

Nothing to concede when you made up a completely new argument in your head but it looks like you would need to visit psychiatrist alongside ophthalmologist. Pity that your brain can only process shiny lights with bunch of immediate cuts and equating it to quality while omitting poor layouts and compositing in a show. check archive for the unifinished heike backgrounds for last couple of episodes, sure posted them while it was airing.

There is a lot of stuff out there that never got a second season but easily could/should have. Idk what Toho owns but there has to be at least a few they could reboot.

instead of delusion and going on repeat like a bot you need to see a psychiatrist first you need to pick up a book or two because your reading comprehension is quite poor

what the fuck is going on? Test one more time
>>
>>287477337
There's only a handful of shows each season that actually involve animators in any significant capacity. 90% of modern anime production is sitting at a computer desk and using software and clever editing to make a scene, or stapling a cardboard cutout to a 3D model.
>>
>>287477260
don't they make enough money from their theatre chains but 20 anime per year doesn't sound alot, assumed they already do.

They're willing to open studios in small towns across the country and just hire regular people off the street and teach them how to instead of opening up one on the extreme far end of the nation and then only letting you in of you go to an expensive college, make connections, and then move to an overpriced city, as well.

The Japanese government claims its oil reserves can last until the end of 2026, but Japanese experts believe they will only last until June 2026 at most. If Iran and the US maintain their blockade of the Strait of Hormuz into next year, all Japanese industries will collapse this year, including the anime production industry. If a large-scale urban heat wave occurs this summer, electricity consumption will surge, potentially leading to widespread power outages or rationing in Japan.

Another major blow is that China has restricted agricultural fertilizer exports in early 2026. China accounts for one-third of the world's agricultural fertilizer supply. Many agricultural countries have already missed spring planting this year, resulting in a significant reduction in global food production. Large-scale famines are expected worldwide from the end of this year to next year. Ordinary people around the world will not have the spare money to consume Japanese anime products.

The price of rice in Japan rose by over 4,000 yen in April. The Japanese government announced that the prices of 9,000 kinds of food and daily necessities will increase by 30% in April 2026, and further price increases are possible. To maintain normal production, animation studios will need to continue increasing animator salaries, further raising animation production costs.

Therefore, TOHO's future plans are out of touch with the realities of Japan and seem more like deceptive advertising designed to maintain a high stock price and mislead investors.

Even Sony Corporation's stock price was significantly lowered by investment institutions in April 2026 due to their pessimistic outlook.

>The Costs of Anime: Prices of Episodes Have Skyrocketed, Demonstrates ARCH CEO Nao Hirasawa

ITmedia’s Atsushi Matsumoto interviewed Nao Hirasawa, CEO of the anime production company ARCH and president of studio Graphinica, who shared developments in the anime industry that have led to TV production costs rising in recent years to as much as 300 million yen per episode (~$1.9 million) or 4 billion yen per movie ($25 million).

we have like 40+ anime PER SEASON and most of them are unwatched.
we don't need more quantity

It's more like 65. 40 is still something you can realistically follow with 2.5 hours of anime per day.

yeah that's why you couldn't make any argument about the topic of discussion, enjoy the final (you) and i hope you understand animation a bit better when dandadan season three drops.

You absolute buffoons. Do you even watch anime? Look up two shows from this current season:
>Monster Eater/魔物喰らいの冒険者 ~俺だけ魔物を喰らって強くなる~
>The Regression of Great Sage Riddle/大賢者リドルの時間逆行
Look at them and despair. That is what you can most likely expect from the upcoming "mass production" of anime. In a better world, they would instead be funneling more budget to existing studios so the current quantity of anime per season can be of higher quality, but this is what we're getting instead.

Will lead to increased QUALITY, and somehow thats a good idea when there are already 60-70 shows/season sounds like a market oversaturation move.
