The Oshi Solution

Oshi addresses these challenges by creating an open anime ecosystem where all participants can interact directly, fairly, and transparently to maximize the potential of anime IPs on the platform:

  1. Fans as Active Stakeholders: Fans move up the value chain, participating in governance decisions, contributing to the platform’s growth, and earning rewards tied to the success they help create. By engaging with and contributing to IPs, fans become more than spectators—they become integral to the narrative of anime’s future.

  2. Creators with Global Control & Direct Fan Connections: Oshi offers a new model by limiting intermediaries, granting creators the power to scale their work globally on their own terms. By connecting more directly with their audiences, they can engage fans in unprecedented ways, build dedicated communities, and retain a greater share of the value their creations generate.

  3. Licensees as Global Enablers: Licensees of all sizes gain transparent, fair access to a diverse portfolio of anime IPs. This open competition fosters a truly global marketplace where distribution rights flow to the highest-value matches to maximize the potential of each IP that flows through Oshi’s platform.

  4. Expanding Markets & Growing Value within the Ecosystem: As Oshi scales, it opens up new revenue channels and fosters direct relationships among creators, fans, and licensees—removing barriers that limit innovation and access for new entrants. Instead of functioning as another intermediary, Oshi’s streamlined approach creates fresh opportunities for underrepresented IPs and emerging licensees, fueling growth from the ground up. While Oshi takes a modest fee to maintain and enhance the platform, this share remains significantly lower than traditional industry cuts. The result is a more equitable value chain, where the bulk of value flows to the true growth catalysts—fans and creators—ensuring that the community thrives together as the Oshi grows.

Through this comprehensive approach, Oshi creates an ecosystem where fans can meaningfully participate in anime's growth, build lasting connections with creators, and join communities that nurture projects from their earliest stages. This enables creators to thrive with the support of their true fans, while dedicated partners propel IPs to reach their full potential globally.

tl;dr

By reimagining the old system, Oshi empowers creators with the financial and creative freedom they’ve always craved. Fans? They finally get to level up from mere viewers to actual partners in anime creation. It’s a win-win that supercharges the entire ecosystem where early contributors receive the lion's share of the rewards.
