About money, business model, successful as a profession.

Which make more money, Family Guy, Simpsons or Japanese Tv anime? ( Individual anime)

Family guy & similar shows have low quality art style but
Fast paced, Have great writing & have many writers.
Do not focus on selling merchandise. These shows are simple & easy to follow.
Appeal to teens & adults


Anime tv on the other hand
Have good art style / Characters etc. (more work for animators) but
Average-wise have bad writings, more or less have 1 writer for a show. (less fresh ideas)
Focus on selling merchandise & source material etc.
For most anime tv 13 episodes limitation.

Have weird stuff / content.
Recent trend, young sexual girls / ass shot etc.
Which is hurting anime as a brand. Many consider anime for weebs & not mainstream outside japan.
Appeal to mostly to teens.


Also Do you want anime industry to stay as it is?
If not. What are the changes you want to see happen?

girls anime passed as shounen;
one of those animes with high popularity rank (#199) but seldom mentioned on forums

the show itself is not that interesting or funny (unless youre a girl maybe), but it is one of the few with dead author i know of, and it's made by the same studio who did jojo

Individual anime? None of them make as much as Family Guy or The Simpsons.

TV anime as a whole? Obviously makes more money then both of them.

Lol, why the heck did you even mention a mediocre show? Just why not huh? Oh wait, after looking at how many shows you have completed, it all falls into place.

If we're talking about every anime ever made, including all the merchandise and other stuff, then yes, anime does make more money than Simpsons and Family Guy combined.

It would be sad if one show makes more money than ALL of the Japanese anime TV series combined throughout all its years of existence.

The only funny thing about it was, that the anime has the genre tag 'commedy'. Totaly misleading

Anyways family guy was pretty funny. But comedy central keeps reshowing the same episodes for the 100th time like south park

Family guy isn't on comedy central, I think you mean Cartoon Network.

The Simpson had they peak in the first 10 seasons and it slowly went downhill after that. The latest seasons are garbage though.

I watched Inu x Boku SS and it was probably one of my few favorites tbh back in the day ._. But then again that's highly subjective.

Didn't Family Guy beated the dead horse recently or ya know, before at least in this decade shoehorning shock factor for the sake of being comedic? Or they stopped?

Maybe if you add American Dad, Cleveland Show and South Park.

Though I hate the Simpsons and Family Guy to death, it's unfair to compare two single shows with an entire industry.
Signature? I ain't got no signature! I don't need no signature! I don't have to show you any stinkin' signature!

Western shows make more money than Any Anime Not because the enemy suck but it's the business model and piracy that is killing the anime earnings.

thats not true, I dont pirate any anime, we watch it on tv.....

also, since op is naming 2 americunt shows, they maybe the biggest animated americant shows maybe we should only compare them to the big 3 or 4 5?

1piss, naruto belch..... maybe even fairy tail

or more relatively, how much money have fam gay and the simpsons made as compared to pokemon and dbz entire franchise.

Simpsons makes more money for way larger audience and sheer length in the industry
there's no question about it, regardless of "bad quality", "no plot", "low grade comedy"

What needs to happen the most is the Business model.
Western television shows earn more money per show than Anime does mainly because of the Business model.

Plus region lock MUST die.

Of course all anime combined makes more money than the simpsons + family guy total. The simpsons was only funny from seasons 2-6 and family guy turned to shit after season 5.

Hell, futurama was a show that was way more funny than the simpsons will ever be and it's made by the same dude.

Not to mention so much anime is translated into other languages for european views to watch, I doubt they do the same with family guy or the simpsons (haven't checked on this).

yes industry it's fine

production wise maybe less shorts .. because of >that feel when you see an interesting series but it turns out to be 3 minutes per eps, 12 eps total
but then again many of them wouldn't have been greenlighted at all with 24 mins per episode so i can see why they multiplied

It certainly isn't Japanese TV anime. I would likely bet to the series that is available in any country, in any platform, and no conflict with the rest of the world.
