Me in the future: "Nobody watches anime anymore. It's too popular"

Ampere Analysis sees that anime has become a mainstream culture in the U.S. and Europe with significant potential for expansion from $31.2 billion in 2023 to $60.1 billion by 2030.

Spotify (SPOT) also reported an increase of 395% in anime music streams since 2021.

Man, if only Disney could figure out how to promote the anime that it has rights to, it might actually make some money with Disney+ (probably not though). Instead, they are all left to wither away in Disney jail.

Which anime are they letting rot like this? Anywhere I can find a list? I'd like to make sure I have archived copies, obtained some other way, since they won't let me pay for them.

Some recent ones I can think of would be Undead Unluck and Go Go Loser Ranger. I did find this list. I think some of these might also be available on Hulu (mostly owned by Disney iirc) as well. However, I am on mobile and can't really double check right now.

That's more than good enough. Appreciate it. I'll look into it a bit more when I get a chance as well, thanks.

I think Disney has the rights to Tengoku Daimakyou.
