Hey Folks,

The way you watch NFL football is changing and the people who built it on broadcast TV aren't happy about it. Behind the polished press statements and high-profile handshakes, a quiet war is brewing between old media and new money. FOX's CEO just stepped into the middle of it. What he said matters. What he didn't say matters even more.

After weeks of speculation, the broadcasting giant has finally addressed the growing tension.





Before the full schedule drops on May 14, the NFL has already teased three regular-season matchups, just enough to keep fans guessing. But the bigger story this year is global: nine international games, a record for the league.

The ambition is undeniable. Whether the execution matches it is another question entirely. Our analyst breaks it down!

The $60B Anime & Manga Boom is Finally Open to Investors

When people hear anime & manga, they think of cartoons and comics. But nowadays, they should be thinking of dollar signs.

The global anime and manga market’s worth $37B, projected to hit $60B by 2030. Which makes TOKYOPOP’s first investment opportunity for outside investors all the more exciting.

TOKYOPOP helped bring anime and manga to the West nearly 30 years ago. Fast forward to today, they’re generating $15M in annual revenue, have 100+ IPs in their portfolio, and distribution across 50+ countries.

They’ve got licensing rights to IP for Disney, Nintendo, Warner Bros., and more, and distribution locked down through Penguin, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and beyond. Now, they’re on a mission to find and scale the next breakout anime franchise.
