Turn IP rankings into business decisions

IP Ranking helps teams evaluate which anime, game, and character IPs are gaining demand, where regional momentum is growing, and which franchises may fit licensing, merchandising, or brand collaboration opportunities.

Use these signals as shortlisting input only; rights, legal, financial, and brand-safety review remain separate.

Titles are scored individually. IPs group related titles and may include franchise breadth, so scores can differ.

Overall shows the current demand footprint. Trending compares the latest franchise snapshot with the previous snapshot, so movement may appear stable when scores have not changed.

Scores are normalized demand signals from observed public sources, not audience size, sales, revenue, market share, or licensing value.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is IP Ranking?

IP Ranking is a global entertainment IP intelligence platform that tracks demand for anime, gaming, western media, and character IPs across 86 markets. Each IP is scored using our Cultural Velocity Score (CVS), a composite index from 0 to 100 based on currently observed public demand signals.

What is an IP popularity ranking?

An IP popularity ranking compares demand for entertainment franchises using observable signals such as search interest, social activity, global reach, and source coverage. It is designed to show current audience attention, not editorial opinion or sales estimates.

How does IP Ranking measure popularity?

IP Ranking uses a composite demand-signal score built from social buzz, search demand, global reach, and source coverage. Scores are normalized demand signals from observed public sources, not audience size, sales, revenue, market share, or licensing value. See our methodology page for the full formula.

What is an anime IP?

An anime IP is an intellectual property built around an anime series, character, or franchise. It can extend across streaming, film, games, merchandise, licensing, and brand collaborations.

How is an anime IP ranking different from a fan poll?

A fan poll reflects votes from a specific audience. IP Ranking uses observable demand signals, including search interest, social activity, global reach, and source coverage, to compare how anime and entertainment franchises are performing across markets.

What is an anime franchise ranking?

An anime franchise ranking compares demand for anime-related IPs at the franchise level, rather than only individual titles or characters. This helps brands, agencies, licensors, and researchers understand broader market attention.

What data sources are used?

IP Ranking uses public signal-source categories such as Google Trends, AniList, Netflix, MyAnimeList, and Wikipedia. Source status, freshness, provider coverage, and the 86-market CVS scope are documented in the methodology.

How often is data updated?

CVS scores are recomputed daily at 11:00 UTC, and IP snapshots are generated at 12:00 UTC. Source refresh cadence varies by provider and current eligibility. The homepage ranking reflects the latest available snapshot.

What does Trending mean?

The Trending view compares the latest franchise snapshot with the previous snapshot. It is useful for movement-oriented context, but rows can appear stable when scores have not changed.
