    Anime shows going on hiatus is a natural and unavoidable part of how they operate. Creative work is not something which can be maintained indefinitely, so it makes a lot of sense that those who work on these projects get time to rest and recharge. As with any form of media, however, this runs the risk of declining visibility and popularity as they vanish from the public eye. Two of the longest standing and most popular in this business, DRAGON BALL and SAILOR MOON, have managed to overcome this issue, but how did they do it? The first thing to keep in mind with these two examples is that, as a basis, they had the popularity to always remain at the back of cultural consciousness. At least to some degree, these made enough of a mark that they shaped the world going forward. They made enough of

Pictures and Legendary Pictures’ GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS, featuring products from the United States, Japan, China, Taiwan and the United Kingdom. The merchandising for this film is being handled quite differently than was the case with GODZILLA, the first movie in Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures’ MonsterVerse. Worldwide licensing for the 2014 movie was primarily supervised by Warner Bros. Consumer Products, but Toho has bought back those rights from Warner Bros and is now in charge in signing product licensees (with help from Legendary). The new arrangement also gives Toho merchandising rights for GODZILLA ’14 and the upcoming GODZILLA VS KONG, and is providing them with an opportunity to promote both GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS and the
