Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation is gunning to take the anime world by storm. With nearly 60 years since the Japanese TV channel aired Golden Bat in 1967, Yomiuri is launching a producing brand called ytv animation to cultivate anime and take it from Yomiuri TV’s base in Osaka to fans around the world. Yomiuri TV has been producing anime for nearly sixty years, with shows such as Space Brothers , Inuyasha , Firefighter Daigo: Rescuer in Orange and even the famous Detective Conan/Case Closed series under their producing belt. The new ytv animation brand is set to not only help promote their titles in Japan but also to overseas fans. The umbrella aims to directly talk to fans around the world through social media and in-person events, such as the Firefighter Daigo: Rescuer in Orange premiere at Anime Expo in Los Angeles last year.
