Top 10 Most Popular Anime of All Time
1 The Tale of Princess Kaguya: $53,400,000. It is both surprising and unsurprising that a Studio Ghibli film is at the top of this list. On the one hand, they are responsible for four other entries on the list, making it easy to believe that they could take the top spot for most expensive production.
The Wind Rises is considered by many to be Hayao Miyazaki’s magnum opus. It was the last film he made before he announced his retirement. The story, which follows Jiro Horikoshi, a real-life man who designed airplanes in Japan that were later used for warfare.
5 From Up On Poppy Hill: $28,000,000. From Up on Poppy Hill is Studio Ghibli’s earliest film in the 2010s, with a 2011 release date. The film, like many of the later Studio Ghibli films, is a drama about two teenagers in 1960s Japan who are working with their friends to try to save an old school club building where they spend time.
The film combines several Doraemon stories into one complete narrative, and its release was incredibly successful in Japan.

Kaguya's wealth, unlike many others', can be seen as a weakness at times, considering it has led to her having a very sheltered life. As such, Kaguya is very inexperienced in many things to the point of lacking common sense at times.
That figure indicates that 46 percent of revenue came from outside Japan, making the overseas market nearly as important as the Japanese one for the anime industry. However, while the anime industry may be bigger than ever, the reports figures don’t necessarily mean it’s healthier than ever.
Still, the Association of Japanese Animators’ study shows that there’s a growing demand for anime around the world, so hopefully companies can find a way to secure their financial security without working their employees to death.
Annual study shows sixth straight year of revenue growth and historical first in media format preference. Anime has never been more popular than it is right now, and that goes for both inside Japan as well as abroad.
