The company will use the localization support track to build multilingual and overseas distribution systems for its short anime IPs, aiming to establish a repeatable model for exporting Japan-origin short anime. Overseas monthly views reached about 95 million in June 2026, roughly 20 times the year-earlier figure, and cumulative overseas views have passed 900 million.","whyItMatters":"METI backing gives Plott up to 40 million yen in support to turn a single-year surge in overseas views, roughly 20 times growth, into a repeatable export model that works across multiple short anime titles rather than one hit.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003ePlott\u0026#39;s selection falls under menu 8 of IP360, the localization support track, which covers up to 40 million yen at a subsidy rate of one half.
