There's a high chance that mappa used all of the profits for investment like expanding studio, funding the anime, or something like that

Amazon had a 0 profit back in 2014 because it spent all of the profits for investment

Doga Kobo seems to be doing really well. Surprising given their relatively humble niche.

I know this is probably against Mappa but how can you make 0 profit or loses.

Yen... En..
En actually means circle o..
It was used as a trick in a mystery to catch a killer who wrote the yen sign instead of en which circular sign zero..

So you unknowingly made a joke and solved a serial murders..

When mappa heard yen, they wrote circle 0 which is en.. Both pronounced the same..

You know Japanese, so You get the joke right?

they probably invested most money on their new studio building, it was even on the news, that's why their numbers are close to 0 (not an expert, just my view on things)

I didn't expect that answer. I can kinda understand what you're tryna say but I've never heard of en as zero.

I guess it kinda make sense that they put zero since it's not an accurate number and they're rounding but damn close to zero while having a bigger revenue.

Zero as in the symbol or shape... Geometric term means the circle.. So mappa drew the circle...
Because when a company like mappa is working with such huge budgets, I find it weird they posted 0 profit.. It's neither a profit nor a lose.. So I assume they made a pun but wring the circular symbol 0 'en',instead of the yen..

I watch too many mysteries and some depends of wordplay or Kanji tricks so I don't understand them clearly in comparison to someone who can read Kanji..
Like my user name ryo can mean cool or refreshing and used as a joke on the main character named Ryo kirigamine in a mystery as air conditioner

Now that makes more sense. I thought about circle but then I just couldn't make sense of what that has to do with yen. But also I see I'm not the only one that feels that putting zero is just weird. They didn't even make a milion or something close to that. (also no I can't fully read Kanji, I still struggle.)

That's what happens when you produce shitty anime like Kaguya-sama...

Very interesting review, thanks! MAPPA and Toei are the biggest studios in Japan.
