As a gamer with decades worth of experience under my belt, I must say that the latest fiscal report from Bandai Namco is nothing short of intriguing. Being a connoisseur of both Gundam and One Piece, it’s fascinating to see these two giants of anime and manga going toe-to-toe in terms of earnings.
It’s clear that anime has gained widespread appeal today, transitioning from its former niche status to becoming a mainstream form of entertainment, particularly among Gen Z. This increased popularity has resulted in more financial resources flowing into the industry, with companies like Bandai Namco reaping substantial profits. A recent report on their earnings reveals that Mobile Suit Gundam is currently their most profitable intellectual property (IP).
Apologies for the mix-up, dear Nami. Given your strong sentiments towards money, I completely understand. Unfortunately, One Piece was just edged out by Gundam, not even Luffy’s Gear 5 could displace it from the top spot.
Despite not leading in this recent analysis, “One Piece” has still managed to make quite an impact elsewhere. This latest financial summary signifies a fresh high for “One Piece” earnings at Bandai Namco, considering the growth of over 33% year-on-year. The IP’s prosperity is something that Bandai Namco is genuinely excited about. The surge in popularity can be attributed to the global resurgence of “One Piece,” as the series continues to gain traction across its anime, manga, and live-action adaptations. Moreover, the success of the “One Piece” trading card game has helped introduce the IP to a broader audience.
Speaking of our company’s leading intellectual property, it’s none other than “Mobile Suit Gundam”. This franchise has a special place in Bandai Namco’s heart, primarily due to the success of its gunpla models. Despite a slight 2% year-on-year decrease, it managed to generate over 36 billion yen, demonstrating its continued financial strength. Even with this minor setback, “Gundam” continues to rake in the profits.
In their recent financial report, Bandai Namco highlighted several of its top-performing intellectual properties as well. Notably, the Dragon Ball franchise experienced a year-over-year growth of approximately 8%, generating approximately 31 billion yen. Given the anticipation among fans for upcoming events, such as the next Dragon Ball anime set to debut in October 2024, analysts predict that the earnings from this IP will continue to escalate. This renewed interest in the franchise could provide a significant boost to Bandai Namco’s profits.
Bandai Namco manages an impressive array of popular franchises, such as Naruto, Ultraman, and Precure. Their Q1 financial report is a must-read for any fan. While Gundam remains at the helm with its model kits, other brands like One Piece are giving it a run for its money. It’s possible that the Straw Hat crew could eventually overtake Gundam, but only if Son Goku doesn’t take down Luffy first.
