>Does not bring in nearly as much as NijiJP>Is on a strong downward trend and has been for over a year nowThe main purpose of holding onto NijiEN is that it's effectively their international market. It's an attempt to expand the company overseas and grow abroad. But seeing as how NijiEN grew past it's baby stages and despite this, it is now shrinking rapidly instead of growing, it becomes a question of how long it is actually worth it to invest that money into a wildly inefficient and sickly NijiEN instead of, alternatively, simply saving on expenses by axing NijiEN and then using that money to support NijiJP.
Infact, this may already be our explanation for why production quality of NijiEN seems so shit: they're ALREADY refusing to invest a dime into it, and all their profit probably goes directly to JP. What we may be witnessing is that Nijisanji currently still feels it's financially wise to keep NijiEN around for increased profit and that it's still efficient to have them instead of axing them, but that they're NOT worth investing in, thus every dime NijiEN makes is sent over to help grow NijiJP. Once NijiEN outlives it's usefulness, that's precisely when it'll get axed.
NijiEN's lifespan is very likely on a timer. It needs to at the very least stabilize and stop bleeding viewers, because if it fails to do so, it becomes financially wise to axe them.
