• Hybrid release strategies (TV + streaming),
• Increased investment in dubbing,
• AI-assisted subtitling for faster simulcasts,
• More diverse genres targeting global audiences.

Despite airing late at night in Japan, anime continues to reach worldwide audiences in real time, transforming how fans engage with content.
