Independent audience research
How does South Africa actually watch anime and animation?

Why take part
Your answers change what gets built
This research feeds directly into decisions about pricing, catalogue and features for anime and animation access in South Africa. Nobody is guessing on your behalf.
Eight minutes, on your phone
Six short sections, mostly tap-to-answer. Your progress is saved automatically, so you can stop and come back.
Anonymous by default
No account, no login, no tracking of who you are. You only share contact details if you opt into a paid-time focus group.
What we ask about
What you watch
Anime, African animation, Western and Asian animation, films and family titles — how often, and on which services.
What gets in the way
Availability gaps, subscription sprawl, pricing, subtitles, dubbing and release delays.
What would be worth paying for
Features, pricing shapes and the one thing a new platform would need to get exceptionally right.
Who this is for
Viewers, readers, gamers, cosplayers, artists, animators, creators, industry people and parents choosing content for their kids. Casual and hardcore alike — we need the whole spread, not twenty-four nearly identical superfans.
Questions people ask
- Do I need to be an anime superfan?
- No. We need casual viewers as much as hardcore fans — including people who mostly watch Western or African animation, and parents choosing content for their kids.
- What happens to my answers?
- They are stored securely and used only for this research. Results are reported in aggregate, never as individual responses.
- What is the focus group?
- An optional 75-to-90-minute discussion, online or in person. Volunteering is separate from agreeing to receive updates, and you can say maybe.
- Can I share the survey?
- Please do. Share the single survey link or QR code with anyone who might want to take part.
