VIII. About "eb-i"

 

 

 

(*) "Chapter V: Viewer Analyses by Individual Anime" consists of seven sections from "Demographics" to "Leisure Activity Preferences, Attitudes towards Lifestyle, and Purchasing Behaviors." See "Chapter II: List of Animes Surveyed" to find out on which pages each of the surveyed animes is covered.

 

(**) The data collection for this classification has begun since April 2017, so no Spending Potential analysis is available for animes aired prior to then.

 

(***) The Satisfaction/Fan Percentage analyses do not cover all the anime titles surveyed in the White Paper.

 

(****) The White Paper has a dedicated chapter to the 5-9 year old age group (defined as "Children"), taking into account their considerably different content-consuming patterns from other age groups.
