CATDOLL: Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe vigorously supports the animation industry. Attack on Titan may save the Japanese market

The first anime that comes to mind is the Japanese anime "Attack on Titan", which has strong Japanese militarism, calm narration and a powerful storyline. It has swept across Asia with its extraordinary charm. Not only has it become the number one search keyword on Google in Korea, but the cumulative circulation of its single-volume edition has exceeded 40 million copies. Its theatrical version has also been included in the screening list of the special section of the Tokyo Film Festival and is scheduled to be officially released in Japan in November.

But the soft power of Japan's animation industry is more than that. Japan is the global production center of animation, accounting for 60% of the total output, and the peripheral products create a market sales of 2 trillion yen each year. In Japan's GDP statistics, the total output value of animation is 240 trillion yen, which is the third largest industry in Japan. It can not only be adapted into video games, but also musicals.

Such huge business opportunities have also caught the attention of Prime Minister Abe! Recently, through the Cool Japan Fund, he has vigorously promoted the Japanese animation industry and helped to expand overseas markets. The goal is to expand the output value to more than double the scale. In addition, the effect of the depreciation of the yen is more conducive to the export of animation products.

NHK reporter said: "Anime fans from all over the world will visit the various scenes that appeared in the comics. The Japan Tourism Bureau introduced 12 anime secret places on its English official website." In order to attract anime fans from all over the world to visit Japan, the bus exterior is even pasted with pictures of anime characters, taking tourists to visit the story scenes, and even the station name broadcasts are recorded by the original anime voice actors. Abe's last third arrow will not only support the manufacturing and electronics industries, but also help the Japanese anime industry reach new heights. He hopes to save Japan's weak economic growth by "taking both soft and hard measures" with the blessing of the depreciation of the yen.
