We're excited to continue paving new distribution avenues in the anime/manga industry and are honored to be listed alongside Crunchyroll and Webtoon!
Anime has been the tip of the spear for so many new technology waves - from mobile games to web3 NFTs to AI companions. Innovative products thrive in dense, passionate communities of early adopter otakus, creating an early momentum invaluable for start-ups trying to break out. Today, anime is more than just an art genre - it has grown into one of the most successful creative industries globally, generating billions in profits and creating a cultural movement in its own right. Anime is also leading the way for digital story-telling, turning passive linear IP into new forms of dynamic entertainment: spanning new UGC platforms and artistry tools, to innovative creator platforms for VTubing or visual novel creation, to cutting-edge, multi-modal AI companions. As a life-long anime fan, i love seeing the number and sheer talent of new teams building in anime. We've been privileged to partner with a few amazing founders including Odyssey Interactive, Mountaintop Studios, Pahdo Labs, Rascal Games, Parhelion Studio Co., Voidpet and a few more unannounced =) And best of all, we believe that anime is just getting started - that new technologies and business models are accelerating this creative format to even greater heights.
