| I was wondering if anyone knows of any stocks that would directly or indirectly benefit from the growing popularity of anime? Other then Sony (which owns funimation) |

| Toei seems quite the major player when it comes to anime. They were here since the start of One Piece, and are supposedly at the front of innovation, for example in backgrounds using machine-learning techs. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-02-12/toei-animation-streams-full-5-minute-anime-short-film-urvan/.169432 According to Google, the stocks of Toei Animation are at its highest since the last 5 years. - - - There's also Oricon, that underwent some lows since 2020 but is a major contender with an established brand. Oricon is a company focusing on monitoring data on the entertainment industry. "The charts are compiled from data drawn from some 39,700 retail outlets (as of April 2011) and provide sales rankings of music CDs, DVDs, electronic games, and other entertainment products based on weekly tabulations. Results are announced every Tuesday and published in Oricon Style by subsidiary Oricon Entertainment Inc. The group also lists panel survey-based popularity ratings for television commercials on its official website. Oricon published Combined Chart, which includes CD sales, digital sales, and streaming together, on December 19, 2018." - - - Other than that, Kadokawa is a major player and conglomerate, well-established brand when it comes to edition of manga and light novels. And having hosted the biggest light novel expo in the world! And light novels will keep growing in the West as anime gets more and more mainstream? Their stocks are at the highest since 5 years according to Google. - - - But the best way to invest from an industry point of view would probably be to support the initiatives by anime workers for a better redistribution of wages and profits... https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/24/business/japan-anime.html "The workers who make the Japanese shows the world is binge-watching can earn as little as $200 a month. Many wonder how much longer they can endure it." The industry nowadays survives on outsourcing the work to overseas animators. But "built-in" staff is the way to keep the soul of the medium... Like Kyoto Animation is doing. |

You just have to be aware of when a projection is wishful thinking from your part. But investing in an industry you know well is probably better, when you know the market, future prospects, considerations, consumers, major economical actors... And yes, it can also be a good way to buy shares for cheaper after what Keynes called the self-fulfilling prophecy. The prices of stocks can change depending on mental trends, but you have to be rational while investing. |
