For many anime fans, the name “TOHO” likely rings multiple bells, as the entertainment giant has a hand in many popular anime series produced by studios like TMS Entertainment, OLM, and even Studio Ghibli. Recently,On Tuesday, December 17th, it was announced that TOHO would acquire 19.7% of the animation studio Orange’s shares. Orange has rapidly grown in popularity for their unique work in adapting.
and fully acquiring Science SARU in July, TOHO also acquired 6.09% of CoMix Wave Film’s stock, specifically looking to be more involved in the management, production, and distribution of anime projects made by the studio in an effort to increase the quality of these projects, as well as expanding the types of projects that the studio will take on. TOHO’s reach isn’t stopping with companies based in Japan, either.
While TOHO has ensured that these acquisitions won’t affect the members of staff on any of these projects, fans are concerned about what this could mean for the future of the anime industry. Notably, it’s important to note how, over the years, TOHO has had a poor reputation among fans for their strict copyright rules for certain properties – especially thefranchise – and their harsh licensing rules.
