| Keep in mind if the 25% that you don't own surpasses you in profit and popularity, your influence will get lesser. So, make good and reasonable decisions for the industry. |
| Why dont you tell us what you would do first |
| Make a profit sharing and stock options with the animators and employees, discuss sustainable ways of making anime without forcing workers to crunch, give them more time for polish and inspection, strengthening oversees and domestic distribution mediums, embrace digital and lessen nudity censorship. |
| Focus more on quality instead of quantity. |
| Why should I have to let myself get scammed when such capital could be invested in farmland and water? |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| Institute workplace democracy, use what was previously taken by capitalist owners as profits to improve working conditions, share methods and technologies as if it was all one big company but without any big structure of authority forcing any local group to do things in a particular way.. |
| This is gonna be long so i apologize ahead of time...cause iv thought about this kinda thing before lol so im assuming that owing 75% of the anime industry includes- animation studios, voice acting, proper subtitle translators, streaming services/websites for anime etc...i would put everything under 1 banner so it can be 1 cohesive business and make everything easier to manage $$$ wise... so the first thing i would do is have a fewer anime come out per season, but ensure that the anime that ARE being released are all high quality productions. teams would have twice as long(or more) to work on each anime, meaning they can release work they are proud of, and not be worked into the ground doing it. second thing i'd do is make censorship basically nonexistent...for anime airing on tv that might need to be censored, okay thats fine...but on streaming services/blurays its gonna be uncensored. 3rd...consolidate anime streaming services and increase the quality/quantity of anime in the streaming service's libraries and server/website/app quality(y'know...the thing FuniRoll failed to do). id also make my streaming service (im assuming with 75% of all anime market it would be equivalent to current crunchyroll or better) only cost $5 per month for top tier membership...so not only would i have fixed my streaming service by having a much larger library with all the subs and dubs available, but my servers/website/app would be more powerful and secure...but the cost would be less than half of what it currently is...meaning alot less people would want to pirate(because its now cheap and i have the same library that pirate sites have...just "officially"). next i'd try and get my studios to make anime movies that can be released in theaters not just in japan, but in other countries as well...they can be filler/side content/small arcs...the kind of thing a studio wants to try and cut out because it would make a standard 12 episode season run 15-18 episodes...well now those extra 3-6 episodes can just be a movie. finally, merch...Lots and Lots of merch...id partner with a bunch of people to make all kinds of merch for the anime my studios are producing...then id use that money to keep increasing the quality of my studios/QoL of its employees...which would then allow them to make even better anime also side note...Polls for employees/anime fans on what each studio should adapt next. meaning majority votes and less people should be disappointed by what is coming out every season |
| As I am not that deep with anime industry work culture, than I won't say the changes within it [cause I would need to get info espiecially including the non public one], I would simply gather some production comitee to produce some good anime which will be good for the audience and analogically which will also increase the profits and continue doing it. |
| Purge it of the generic isekais and other filth. |

| Makes no difference. Especially when you realize NTHE is inevitable. |
| "The same thing I do every night: try to take over the world!" What else would you expect from an Evil Overlord. |
| Lord Cruelty V "But my Dreams they're not as empty, as my conscience seems to be" |
| First thing we do is completing every abandoned Madhouse Series and give it as many seasons as it takes for a conclusion. We don't go for remakes. We just finish our plate. |

I literally could care less about profit. The Japanese animation industry shows a lot of the worst aspects of late stage capitalism with borderline slave-wages for animators, long grueling hours, and just too much stuff in production at once to the point where studios focus a lot on quantity over quality. If I was magically given ownership of a majority of the industry I would massively overhaul it to focus first and foremost on the artists benefit rather than the corporate shareholders, production committees and "number go up" mentality. Basic things I would do are:

This post is brought to you by your local transfem gamer goblin. Will not tolerate bigotry and will fight against "anti-woke" sentiment to make the anime community a safer place.  |
| A lot of good comments about correcting the crappy working conditions. For my part, I'd also set up grant systems to get some fresh upcoming talent into the field. Young people, women, LGBT people (would be so nice to have more authentic yuri for instance), people with various non-anime related interests. Breaking away from anime producers who only get inspiration from other anime as Miyazaki infamously alluded to in his quote about anime being made by people who can't stand looking at other people, and what Nintendo hinted at when they claimed they hire people with more diverse interests and skillsets than just being gamers. Basically, fostering new talent so we get a much wider and more colourful palette of stories instead of the same old word salad isekai dominating. |

| 20 year moratorium on light novel, visual novel, and manga adaptations. I'd actually hire some people with a strand of creativity in their bones to come up with stories instead of yet another generic "I got my ass kicked by a truck and sent to fantasy video game land and all the ladies love me" anime.

| If I had to choose between One Piece and a girlfriend...I think I'll go with One Piece |
| Sell the rights to some streaming platform |
 |
| Damnit. I don't come to these forums to do math. So...Instead of going off the mentioned 75% of the whole industry mentioned, to make it easier for me, I'll be going off only what I own in this scenario. Ok. Obviously the smart thing to do would be to use the majority of that on safe bets, like popular shounen series and whatever the current popular trends are. You want to do that to be able to take risks on the more niche things later on. So let's say 55% of the productions I have control over are dedicated to those. Of the remaining, 30% will be focused on series that aren't as popular, but still have a healthy fanbase. The last 15% of what I own will basically be for me to indulge in whatever I want. If I gave zero fucks though...I'd be using that on more mecha series, original series based on shit I really want to see in anime, adaptations of western stuff I think would be cool as anime, adaptations of games I really like, and continuing or remaking things I've waited YEARS hoping for a full adaptation of. |

| @Spunkert i was going to say this but since theres still a quarter of the industry not under my control they would possibly be able to monopolize isekais and keep it alive. so my plan would be to irrevocably poison the genre and make it even worse so that no one would ever want to make or watch another again. i would continue to play this game of chicken making nothing but the worst most unappealing isekai shlop until we go bankrupt and from the ashes would rise countless new studios that all have it enshrined as their founding principle to never make an isekai ever again. |

| @TheBlockernator Considering how much they left their character arc hanging on an unsatisfying note in both manga and anime continuities, a Mai Valentine spinoff is sorely needed. Maybe Yu-Gi-Oh: The Woman named Kujaku Mai if Sayo Yamamoto is up to the task. |

| I'd take all the anime involved with what I own and combine them into one battle royal like anime where they all have to fight in a brutal, horrific and bloody battle until only one is left. Which ever one is left is the anime we all have to watch from now on. And whatever anime is left that I don't own which is still probably a decent number. |
| Anime is a scam. Any intelligent person knows that. |
| Anything I would've said regarding worker conditions has been said already but another thing I would want to add is trying to figure why so many anime games are ass. The JJK one is the one that comes to mind first but barring the Naruto ones they are ass or mediocre at best. I guess bare minimum cash was given to hop on any hype for the property but then the Kill la Kill game came years afterwards so wonder what that's about. |
| Ufotable will be required by law to make more Nasuverse, Demon Slayer will be banished to the shadow realms |
Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl. Gilgamesh is also chad.   |
| Aside from making sure work conditions are good and proper credit and rights go to where they belong I'd reduce production numbers and focus on more quality in work particularly if the staff has it as a work of passion. There also would be more risks taken if something is meant to be good whether it sells well would be an afterthought. I'd also take focus off of anti piracy moves and move more into different ways to give money to the industry such as flexible pricing for trusted individuals and also start a streaming service to compete against Cruncyroll and Hidive etc. I would do away with exclusive rights as well. I also would make requests to the government to roll back censorship laws. I would also invest in animator training programs. I'd try and also get some cooperation with the remaining percent not in my control to coordinate releases for a mutually beneficial avoidance of too many similar things being released at once. |

| Make more money, make more isekais and not feed people with what they want in anime and only do it occasionally so people then wait for the good anime to come out, simple. |

| Obviously, I would go for better worker conditions and pay. I would also cut down on adaptions to focus on quality over quantity. Take my time with the adaptations, and diversify the portfolio. It'll yield me less money (and influence) in the beginning. Especially since I would adapt series that I know won't be a huge success, but they deserve to be animated. I was thinking about this when I heard a company licensed My Girlfriend's Child, even though they knew it wouldn't be some smash success. They licensed it because people deserved to have access to an award winning story. Unpopular opinion: I'd keep Isekai, but I would definitely have more variety of that genre. More gourmet Isekai, more Shoujo Isekai outside of the Villainess genre, etc. I would adapt more Shoujo and Josei series. And not just romance, but Shoujo and Josei of all genres. Even if they yield less than Shounen and Seinen, people deserve access to their stories. This also includes remaking series that desperately need it, and adapting old manga. And no, I'm not talking about Rose of Versailles. The 70s series was perfectly fine and didn't need a remake. I'm talking about Petshop of Horrors and Legend of Basara. Series like those. Create a subscription service for anime, while also partnering with free subscription services (Tubi, Retro Crush, Freevee, etc). It kind of pulls to previous point. Some series don't need a remake, they just need availability. An example is Attack No 1. It still holds up surprisingly well for a series made in the 60s. I'd partner with a streaming service like Retro Crush, and make it available on there for free (with ads). Adapting new manga and not simply putting them on Crunchyroll, to keep Crunchyroll from the monopoly. Then when I finally have enough success, I'd get into manga and merchandising. I'd partner with various manga licensing companies to make more print series available, along with funding merchandise for select series. |
