2日本動画協会が、10月30日にこの数字を発表しました。この団体は、アニメの会社などで作られています。協会によると、市場は前の年より約16％大きくなりました。
3お金の半分以上は、日本の外で使われました。海外で使われたお金は約2兆5400億円でした。これは、日本の中で使われた約1兆9100億円より大きい数字です。
4NHKによると、市場の大きさは5年続けて過去最高になりました。協会は、12月の初めにくわしい報告書を出す予定です。
文法ポイント：比較級 + than（～より…だ）
2つのものをくらべて「～より…だ」と言う形。本文の That was bigger than spending in Japan（それは日本の中で使われたお金より大きかった）がその例。big の比較級は g を重ねて bigger になる。本文の more money … than ever before（これまでのどの時より多いお金）も、more を使った比較の形。
