>>82606098>I haven’t checked their numbers but even if they paid all these entry level employees 6 figure salaries that wouldn’t be enough to put them in the negative last year so it definitely wouldn’t this year if it’s so historic. The problem is things cost more and they can’t just up the price any more seeing how it’s already a 200%+ markup. The Dodgers collab is Hololive paying them like when companies pay fast food restaurants to use their characters for kids meal toys. And it’s not the only collab like that they’ve done. It’s a combination of all of these that put them in that position. No, they are in negative, because that\s how it always is in Q1 and Q2. Those quarters are pretty eventless, so there is less revenue. Is Q3 and Q4 where Cover get's most of it's yearly revenue.
>I hope you’re once again making this up because that makes no sense. Cover can’t even use people that graduate or get terminated. Cover can actually use the characters that graduated. Is their IP.
>Anime is at minimum a year and the budget is beyond anything Cover could actually handle from any competent studio. A 12 episodes anime is 1.2-1.5 million to produce. Is not in any way above what Cover can afford. Studio competence has nothing to do with price and affordability. The standards are similar all across the industry, and generally the way it works, is that studio's are bidding with their best offer for the chance to produce an anime, not the reverse. On Average an episode costs 120k dollars to produce, some may invest more, others can invest less. Ufotable for example, manages to produce Demon Slayer on a budget of 89k dollars per episode.
>Things that are so big you end up learning about it through osmosis if you’re even tangentially in the space is a sensation. Dodgers fans liked it for what it was, but I don’t hear any baseball fans bring it up or talk about it. Doggers saw it's longest merch line in it's history with Hololive. They also sold the most merch in a single event ever. That makes it a sensation, and others will definitely pay attention to it. You won't hear about others for a long time, not until the even happens, because negotiations are generally NDA protected.
