Anime is recognized around the world as a representative culture of Japan, however, limited distribution and video platforms have led fans to pirate their favourite anime, which has caused losses of around USD 15 billion in 2021, marking a five-fold increase from 2019. Despite the massive demand for anime that has resulted in nearly every animation studio in Japan being booked solid years in advance, some talent in the industry make as little as USD 200 a month.
REMOW aims to remove the barrier of platform exclusivity and directly bridge Japanese anime to fans around the world by making the medium compatible with all distribution formats. REMOW’s delivery system guided by its “creator first” approach will allow creators to effectively monetise their work in line with their global appeal, and help the anime industry to thrive collectively. As part of that effort, REMOW launched the It’s Anime Store, an online shop for anime goods available in 120 countries worldwide in October 2023 (merchandise details can be found at the end of the document).
Global Marketing Manager of REMOW, Shuta Hirata says, “REMOW is committed to being the bridge that links Japan to the world. Our creator-first approach enables us to create a world that understands and appreciates the value of anime. Moving forward, we will be bringing more exciting titles on “It’s Anime” and make the channel the world’s premium destination for anime fans across the world.”
