Physical will shift more and more toward a pure collector's market.

Anyone knows where can we see 117 anime title in the "Top 200 titles on SVOD platforms for the first nine months of 2024 in Japan" list ?

This is the truth, trading actually owning things for convenience. But you'll have to pry my Blu-Ray boxset of Batman The Animated Series from my cold dead hands. |

Yes, and maybe to get unique goods too, something special that fans will want to have... I would like to know digital sales numbers too because oricon is not that accurate anymore without this data... |

I've all but sold off my entire physical collection of anime, manga, and video games. Made a nice chunk of change off it especially the more rare things. I personally don't see the point in collecting things anymore and it frees up shelf space to use for figures and other physical merchandise. It's too easy to watch and play everything on a computer these days. |

I wonder if Japanese laws regarding digital sales are different than in the US. Do you actually own the files or are you, like in the US, just purchasing rights to the distributor's license significantly limiting what you can do with the files and face the possibility of losing access if the license expires?

Yeah, that's great and all...right up until the streaming service you're paying for decides to poof a bunch of your favorite titles into nothingness with little or no advance warning. Meanwhile I'll be over here with my discs able to watch and rewatch at my leisure. I may be a media boomer, but I have zero interest in paying for what's essentially a rental. If I like a show, I want it sitting on my shelf, and I'll keep buying those plastic coasters until the day that the very last one gets made. |

Blu-ray somewhat failed to catch on as a format with the DVD market easily outselling it to this day. And 4K Blu Rays? Forget about it. The DVD turns 30 next year and Blade Runner: Director's Cut was one of the first studio releases in 1996 because of course it was. Home media will continue to inexplicably survive in Japan in the same way fax machines somehow do but the medium is crawling now, not walking. Even Sony, one of the founders of Blu-ray is trying to kill home media with the PS5 and especially the Pro. Rent not buy and never own is our glorious future, outside of piracy. Can´t wait till 87% of modern TV is considered lost media in the same way video games "officially" are.
Streaming won, even if most major companies lost the streaming wars. To be profitable you need to find a niche (anime, horror) or be Netflix with the porn sector being its own thing. |
