Studio Ghibli continues to set the standard off and on the screen with the release of The Boy and the Heron, with a new report revealing just how valuable the studio is.A new report from the reliable Tadashi Sudo at Animation Business Journal (ABJ) broke down the numbers from Nippon Television Holdings’ financial results dated Nov. 2, 2023. Nippon TV had already previously owned 14.86% of Studio Ghibli. It was revealed that in its acquisition of the studio, Nippon TV paid 10 billion yen to increase its share to 42.43%. ABJ reports that this would value Studio Ghibli at around 36.6 billion yen, marking the highest valuation ever for an anime studio that underwent a merger and acquisition in Japan. In comparison, the 2007 merger between manga publisher Mag Garden (Aria, Elemental Gelade) and Production I.G (Heavenly Delusion, Psycho-Pass, Ghost in the Shell), which formed IG Port, was only valued at 20 billion yen.Studio Ghibli’s valuation is still significantly less than Toei Animation’s 600 billion, known in recent years for One Piece, Dragon Ball Super and The First Slam Dunk, all of which have been huge financial successes. Nevertheless, the valuation is a big show of faith in Studio Ghibli, which was promised by Nippon TV to have its future assured and creative ability untouched.Live-Action Nausicaa Fan Film “Respects Miyazaki,” Impresses Japanese Audiences
