Parrot Analytics and Animecoin, the anime culture coin backed by Azuki, announced a partnership to launch the industry's first official “Top 40 Anime Chart” for the global anime industry. This collaboration will deliver monthly co-branded rankings of the most in-demand anime titles worldwide, creating a Billboard Hot 100-style chart for the Anime industry that will serve as the definitive measure of series popularity and success.
Beyond rankings, the charts will track emerging trends, spotlight breakthrough series, and may incorporate fan voting in the future. The charts aim to provide full transparency and consistency across all geographies and platforms into one single source of data, and thereby better inform fans, creators and publishers in an effort to shine a spotlight on the rapidly growing industry.
Alex Xu, Contributor to the Animecoin Foundation and CEO at Azuk emphasized that these projects are aimed at democratizing animei: “The Animecoin Foundation's mission is to democratize anime and create a more inclusive and participatory industry where fans and creators can own a piece of the success they help build.," "Partnering with Parrot Analytics, whose data-driven approach has become the standard across the entertainment industry, ensures we're delivering the most reliable and trusted rankings to the community of anime builders and creators contributing to the growth of the industry," noted.
By combining Parrot Analytics' industry-leading demand measurement capabilities with Animecoin’s ecosystem of anime builders such as native web3 anime IP, Azuki, and new digital anime platform, Anime.com, this partnership creates a transparent and authoritative source for understanding what's truly popular in the fast-growing anime entertainment industry.
Also, Wared Seger, CEO at Parrot Analytics assured that the initiative aims to settle a debt.: "The anime industry has long needed an official, data-driven ranking system to showcase the true global popularity of series," "This partnership with Animecoin allows us to deliver exactly that – an authoritative chart that will become the industry standard for measuring success in anime entertainment," commented.
By partnering with Animecoin, Parrot Analytics extends its influence in the anime industry. A recent co-study with the Association of Japanese Animations (AJA) revealed that anime contributed nearly $20 Billion to the global entertainment industry in 2023. With this collaboration, Animecoin and Parrot Analytics aim to provide anime fans, creators, and industry professionals with an essential tool for understanding global audience demand.
