Japan's the expert on creating high functioning Fandom Economies

The infrastructure that translates attention and viewership into participation and spending is under construction now in the US. Data is going to be the fuel that powers all of it.

Just ask yourself
  1. 1.What are the top 5 anime in the US this season?
  2. 2.What titles or characters brought in the highest merchandising revenue this month?
  3. 3.What genres are currently in demand based on demographic interests?

If you had to guess, you're not alone. What's popular in Japan isn't guaranteed to be popular in the US.

There has to be a standard for answering these kinds of questions.
