Myth book becoming #1 JP seller, One Piece, UMG, and continuous major events like Connect the World, HoloCIty, SummerFest, and much more. How can indies compete with that? The new studio being built, now allows them to expand with proper support. We are witnessing what Linus Tech Tips did to the tech channels. Offering what the indies can not, will cement their dominant position.
>>53163608>The EN branch is in an embarrassing state of decay.Have you been watching lately? HoloEN is inclining again, while its major competitor is dying. HoloEN has done well with no new branches for two years, and some of the members on long breaks. Unlike in JP, EN is pretty much on its own. They aren't promoted heavily in the West like in JP. And doing quite well in spite of that. Cover's tweets have shown they are looking for Western sponsorships and plan on expanding around the world. Two more Aniplex cafes in KR this year with another in TW. It's just getting started.
