Comic-Con International: San Diego, USA

The Anime Expo in Los Angeles, USA, is one of the world’s most renowned anime conventions. As North America’s largest comic‑convention, it attracts Japan’s most celebrated anime composers, voice actors, and manga artists, who come to connect with anime fans in Los Angeles. The event also features cosplay contests, karaoke sessions, video‑game tournaments, and a grand masquerade ball.

Overall, the European and American anime industries got their start early, have advanced rapidly, boast strong capabilities, maintain complete value chains, and operate with mature business models. Compared with Japan and South Korea, the current strengths of the European and American anime sectors lie primarily in animated feature films, mass‑market anime‑based theme‑park entertainment, and related merchandise. By contrast, Japan and South Korea are more developed in areas such as manga publishing, animated television series, and anime‑related video games.

The U.S. anime industry enjoys unique advantages in product development and commercial operations, with Disney serving as a globally exemplary model. Since 1955, Disney has established over a dozen mega‑scale theme parks worldwide, sparking a global boom in anime‑themed amusement. Centered around these theme parks, Disney‑branded retail outlets have proliferated across the globe, while licensing for thousands of Disney‑related products has flourished, generating substantial revenues. In many ways, Disney functions much like Coca‑Cola in the United States—its powerful brand presence has become firmly entrenched worldwide, making its influence and standing virtually unshakable.

The Anime Expo in Los Angeles brings together top Japanese developers of anime, manga, and video games, unveiling and showcasing a wealth of new releases. Among them are the latest updates on highly popular IP‑based games adapted from franchises such as “Naruto,” “Desert Adventure,” “Sword Art Online,” and “Battling Heaven and Earth Chronicles.” (All content herein is copyrighted by Juzhan; unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.)
