The past, present, and future of the animation work ledger

Abstract

A large number of anime works are produced in Japan every day, but it is not sufficiently clear what kind of works have been released or what kind of packages have been sold in the past. In addition, there is only a limited amount of publicly available and reliable information about the staff people involved in the producing these works. We will discuss how much of the information that is currently available can be trusted, what it is based on, what is currently being dealt with, and what are the barriers that prevent the problem from being resolved.
