Research Proposal Draft

TV Anime is today’s main form of Japanese animation, it always plays a new episode every week and most of the TV Anime’s total time-length is about four months, someone can be much longer such as Naruto. However, this anime form is facing serious challenges in the coming future because of the development of the anime industry. More and more TV Anime works become only the advertisements of the original anime novel or comics, that the animation quality is integrally reduced. This seriously influences audience enthusiasm. Accompanying with the reputation reducing, many of the original anime works are made in the type of Anime Movie. TV anime’s market is further occupied by these similar art forms. In this kind of competition, the biggest differences between the two competitors are their quality and broadcast cycles, so now what advantages could the long-tern broadcast characteristic bring for TV Anime in the future industry? I have some hypothesizes. For proving my guessing, I will compare my research of the original TV Animes and the original Anime Movies of the same period to get a deeper understanding of their quality, popularity, reputation, and also the capitals they created. Currently, I believe it will show that the Anime Movies’ popularity, reputations, and created capitals will fastly have a stable trend but TV Anime may have some obvious changes when the special episodes played.
