Top reasons
- Committee renewal track record - Lead committee members (Shogakukan, TV Tokyo, WIT STUDIO…) have a smoothed catalogue continuation rate of 26%, above the catalogue average of 14%
- Committee collaboration history - Titles sharing at least two committee members: 1 of 2 have a catalogued successor (50%), compared with 14% across the catalogue
- Titles like this rarely return - 7 years with no new entry: of series (first entries) in that position, 1% got a new season or film within 10 years
Source runway is unclear, so feasibility is treated as unknown.
