AndrewHOST
Last paragraph.
AndrewHOST
While international distribution indeed is a major part of anime business, some prominent Japanese creators and industry figures, including Hideaki Anno, creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Tomohiko Ito, director of Sword Art Online, and Takeshi Natsuno, CEO of Kadokawa, have similarly argued that Japanese work should not sacrifice their identity in an attempt to appeal to everyone.
AndrewHOST
That's right.
AndrewHOST
If you try too hard to appeal to everybody, you'll ultimately make nobody happy.
GregHOST
Lollipop Chainsaw is a 2012 action-adventure game developed by Grasshopper Manufacturer, a collaboration between game designer Goichi Suda, also known by his nickname Suda51, and filmmaker James Gunn.
GregHOST
The game was published in Japan by Kadokawa Games and internationally by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
MenaceHOST
Thank you for the heart, me.
GregHOST
Lollipop Chainsaw features Julia Starling, voiced by Tara Strong, basically, um, Harley Quinn, the voice of Harley Quinn, in English, and by both Eri Kiramura in the Xbox 360 version and Yoko Hikasa in the PlayStation 3 version in Japanese, with limited uncensored versions allowing the player to change between the two voices after completing the game once.
Matt PatchesHOST
I don't know.
Simone de RochefortHOST
Well, my third case study, which I'll briefly breeze through, is Kadokawa, the parent company of FromSoftware, recently survived an activist investor coup where one of the investment groups tried to oust the current CEO because Elton Ring was so successful.
Simone de RochefortHOST
However...
Simone de RochefortHOST
They feel that Kadokawa didn't adequately capitalize on its popularity to make more money off of it.
Matt PatchesHOST
What do you think is harder to defeat, an Elden Ring boss or an activist investor coup?
Simone de RochefortHOST
Probably an activist investor coup, although for now there was a vote.
DaveHOST
And so since then, he's been, I believe he still remains as a freelance director, but he has become more and more involved with Studio Bones over the years.
DaveHOST
So in terms of how he came to work on this anime film, shortly after he wrapped up on Noragami and was moving on to his other projects, Kadokawa, the big publishing company in Japan, was shopping around the idea to adapt more anime films from literary works.
DaveHOST
And so producer Shuzo Kasahara gave Kotaro Otomura a big list of books to choose from.
DaveHOST
And Tom and I was just wandering through the list and he saw Jose the tiger and the fish.
SamHOST
Came out in 2020, directed by Kotaro Tamura, screenplay by Sayaka Kawamura, music by Evan Call, Studio Bones.
SamHOST
Based on the short story Josee, the Tiger, and the Fish by Seicho Tanabe that came out in 1984, and it was p- uh, it came out as a short story in, uh, Kadokawa, Kadokawa Magazine.
SamHOST
I don't remember which magazine.
SamHOST
Um, oh, Monthly Kadokawa.
SamHOST
And then later they, like, did, like, a manga adaptation I think also, but, uh, the chara-
NickHOST
It's a very easily adaptable story.
MitsugiHOST
Here we go.
MitsugiHOST
So Kadokawa reported significant losses in its anime business in the past quarter.
MitsugiHOST
This was really recent, like a week ago.
MitsugiHOST
Um, despite rising revenue from hits like Re:Zero, which I, I don't know, I guess I have to watch Re:Zero now 'cause I've-
Raggedy DoctorHOST
Absolutely.
MitsugiHOST
Um, so...
MitsugiHOST
But, but, but for the first quarter of their fiscal year, Kadokawa reported a $4 million loss in its anime business, and they noted that e- the anime segment actually grew by 27% year over year, which is everything we knew already.
MitsugiHOST
Like anime's fucking exploding.
Matt TurnerHOST
Not the banter, the in-ring work with Miyu Watanabe and Mei Suruga.
Matt TurnerHOST
Tokyo Joshi Pro, Kadokawa, can we get a singles match of Miyu Watanabe and Mei Suruga? Kadokawa, I think it's a match that we all want to see.
Matt TurnerHOST
So we follow up a great match with another great match, as we have Haro Matsumoto teaming with Shoko Nakajima to take on current Princess of Princess Champion, Yuki Arai, and Miyu Yamashita.
Matt TurnerHOST
So Yuki, uh, we have Yuki Arai and Shoko, big lockup.
LostScarfHOST
I physically own the first 30 light novels currently.
LostScarfHOST
And since Kadokawa is the publisher, you can be sure you can buy these books anytime in the future.
LostScarfHOST
Now here's some barley plate information about the books.
LostScarfHOST
A reminder that though this series can be considered its own universe, it tries to fit into the game universe by telling stories around the games.
Jason RobbinsHOST
Collaboration between game designer Goichi Suda and filmmaker James Gunn, who you may know from such indie titles as Superman and Guardians of the Galaxy.
Jason RobbinsHOST
It was published in Japan by Kadokawa Games and internationally by Warner Brothers.
Jason RobbinsHOST
It features Juliet Starling, voiced by Tara Strong, who you might know as pretty much the voice of everything the last 20 years.
Jason RobbinsHOST
Let's see.
