In recent years, there has been a rise in the industry in remaking popular anime. While there are cases of remakes that didn't meet fans' expectations, like Shaman King or Digimon, others have been highly praised, like Mappa's adaptation of Ranma 1/2 or the new version of Anne Shirley. However, although these new re-envisions will be followed by other series in the coming years, like One Piece or The Fist of the North Star, there are still great classic anime that deserve to be greenlit for a remake to captivate new audiences. 5r2852

This channel helped create millions of fans, with very few media outlets having had the same impact over the years.

These days, anime is everywhere you look. From the front page of streaming services to your Happy Meal at McDonald's, it feels like the industry is gaining notoriety in ways we've not seen before. In the past decade, anime has seen itself dive deep into the pop culture zeitgeist as series like My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen have broken barriers and created new fans. But for John Ledford, the CEO of HIDIVE and founder of Sentai Filmworks, the medium's comeuppance has been a long time coming.

There's no debating it, celebrities adore anime just as much as everyone else. In recent years, more and more Hollywood stars have been outspoken about their adoration of the entertainment genre, with some actors and actresses even appearing in anime-related films, like Robert Pattinson's voice acting in The Boy and the Heron or Tom Holland's in The Secret World of Arrietty, for example.

A recent interview on the official Dragon Ball website reveals that Vegeta’s surprising victory over Goku in Dragon Ball Super was not just fan service, but a deeply intentional choice.

Countless great anime series have been released throughout the years. Some pushed the boundaries of their genres, others redefined those genres entirely, and quite a few simply delivered tight narratives that have stood the test of time. As anime has continued to grow year after year, new fans in bunches have scoured the internet for lists of the greatest series ever created, and are met with many of the same recommendations each time. However, when shows are consistently celebrated, it's easy to become skeptical.

When it comes to anime, some of the best series are those that masterfully combine romance with heart-pounding action. These are the shows that keep viewers on the edge of their seats with intense battles but also tug at heartstrings with deep romances between the characters.

Keeping track of the world's top anime has always been a challenge. Data on anime popularity is typically released sporadically by individual countries or companies, often only a few times a year—by which point rankings may have already shifted. However, a new initiative aims to change that. Parrot Analytics, a global entertainment analytics firm, and Animecoin, the anime culture coin backed by Azuki, have announced the launch of the industry's first official "Top 40 Anime Chart."

As much joy and entertainment as anime brings, there is a darker side to the medium we love. Working conditions for staff can be punishing, with relentless deadlines and grueling hours leading to serious physical and mental health issues. It’s no surprise that many young artists are opting out of the industry altogether, resulting in a shortage of new talent that threatens anime’s future.
