Jisogi Anime Studio Tycoon - Lets Review this board game from Esper Game Studios

Description provided by BoxedMeeples on YouTube:

For long-time anime fans, Jisogi: Anime Studio Tycoon was always going to be a must-play for Libby and Julian. Picked up at Essen Spiel 2025, this is finally its moment in the spotlight. In Jisogi, you’re suddenly in charge of a struggling anime studio. Recruit staff, assign jobs, and juggle a meagre budget that’s always teetering on the edge of collapse — all while producing anime series with Settings, Plots, and Twists that match the trends. Nail it, and your studio grows in popularity; get it wrong, and you’ll drown in debt instead of basking in praise. We share our first impressions, discuss the strategy and progression, and explore how well this anime management theme translates into a board game. Whether you’re a board game veteran, an anime fan, or both, this is a fascinating title to watch in action. Have you played Jisogi yet? Let us know what strategies you’d try in the comments — and tell us if your studio would survive the trends or go under! - If you want to give us a little gift, or just wish to say thanks, you can do that here: https://ko-fi.com/boxedmeeples (There is NO obligation to do so, and our content will always be eventually available to all) ___ A copy of this game was given to us for the purpose of review.
