Data is beautiful

Saw something interesting posted on reddit today in the r/dataisbeautiful subreddit and thought I’d share it here as well. See below:

Not sure about the sourcing for those figures (they took the figures off wikipedia).

I actually had to Google Anpanman :open_mouth:

I often heard that Star Wars was the second highest grossing franchise, apparently it’s not

You might be thinking of film franchises, in which case it’s second-highest grossing behind MCU

Can anybody say “100 BILLION”
From the mind of a little autistic kid to the biggest media company of all time. Just amazing.

Anpanman :thinking:?
Oh and 34 billion for Shonen jump?
Weird stuff but I like it.

The diversity of pokemon is nice.

How/why is Barbie listed as starting in 1987? :thinking:

Can someone give a rough guesstimate of how each pokemon part is distributed in % in each category for us poor colorblind folk out there?

Using only the chart as reference material and converting pixels to percentage values you roughly get this distribution:

Merchandise 66,31%

Video Games 18,24%

Card Game 11,37%

Box Office 1,87%

Manga / Comics 1,57%

Home Video 0,64%

I’m laughing more about the “blindfold”
How many shades of pokemon are involved i wonder.

I guess this also explains why mcDonalds had hello kitty for females while running a pokemon promotion for males, that’s actually so surprising.

Funny how Mario brings in more money for Manga/Comics than both Batman and Spiderman combined.
