| That's pretty expensive stuff there, I'd be able to afford the original work though. |
| dear lord... ;_; |
 |
| I knew it was a lot but wow.... Over 1 mil to make a one season show? |
| I knew it was expensive but holy cow! that's more expensive than I thought. Thanks for sharing. |
| dis aint cheap... :3 but then again, how much do you think a average live action movie costs..? and you know, there is no way to tell exactly how much each part costs as it is customized to each show.. angel beats for example, they had so much more music made for that show and changed the op/ed in every episode (which may have been somewhat the cause they decited not to make the series too long). but yeah, this kind of expansions will alway's cost a price. /me bitching :Þ |
The Internet is a very bad place, you should never go there. |
| What the fuck? Never noticed how much money everything was. XP |

| wow , but it compenses , due the money the gain from every part of the world! Anime is a great thing. |
 |
They must make something from the ADS if any, and the sales in DVDs are 10x in Japan than they are here. |
 |
| This is good info. I've been looking for stuff like this lately just to compare to live action. If I recall correctly, a post somewhere says the live action Heroes show cost like 5 million per episode. I'm too lazy to dig up that info now, for accurate comparison but it would be nice if somebody did. Fate zero is taking my time. |
| Damn. |
 |
| I had a momentary seizure reading those digits. Holy hell. |

| You know it's really never even something I thought about, I perhaps may have wondered upon maybe how much to make an entire series but seeing how much per episode blew my mind Very interesting and thank you for posting this here. |

| To think that amount of money was used to produce something like Hidan no Aria |

| They obviously make enough money to keep doing it! |
Eureka Seven: Making grown men cry since 2006. Literally the best anime ever. ( I don't say that lightly!). |
Serduszko said: A bit man a bit . You have to love it. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/521/kaneganai.jpg/ What bit? The only numbers you've researched have been costs but have not cover just how much money anime producers make from merchandising. |
|
| The wage animators and minor guys earn is part of the cost involved in making anime, as seen in the first post. What I am talking about is how much money anime makes after it has been made. That would be called revenue not wages. just how much money anime producers make from merchandising.- SO U ARE BLIND. Merchandising =games, posters, dvds and etc? Correct me if I'm wrong. If not I wrote that. It is given overall but you can divide? Can't you? Not blind and I am not forming the conclusion that each anime producer is struggling nowadays because they are taking in 10x the money it takes to produce an anime. Some studios are closing/closed and some studios are experiencing record highs, what about that is new when it comes to individual businesses within an industry? |

| Hot damn. |
 |
| I knew it was expensive but that's way more from what i was thinking |
| This world...is rotten |
| It would be interesting to see the profits after the investment. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| holy crap |
 |
| Going by this info, assuming an average of 150m yen for a 12-13 ep series, a series would need to sell roughly 5k BDs/DVDs average per volume just to break-even going purely on disc sales alone. If we add in increase in source material sales ( LN/VN/Manga ) and other merchandise, it's likely much lower than 5k. Chihayafuru is a good example where it sold an average of 2.5k BDs/DVDs yet is getting a second season because the manga got a huge boost in sales. Pretty interesting stuff. |

| And you got SHAFT making anime right and left... |

Zanzie said: It's not even an unrealistic amount if you look at it... actually anime is SUPER cheap to produce.. It's just such a low paying field (because it's not aired internationally.. and a lot of people just download anime.. and then no one needs to buy the boxed sets etc.) the anime usually stop.. unless it hits big internationally.. I'm pretty sure no anime needs international success to continue. Of course that conclusion is from looking at the Japanese TV ratings and seeing that the top shows have either never left Japan or failed miserably for distributors. |

| ...Holy Kami-sama. LOL And that's why a lot of animes are super short D: |

I'm pretty sure no anime needs international success to continue. Of course that conclusion is from looking at the Japanese TV ratings and seeing that the top shows have either never left Japan or failed miserably for distributors. It's a little more than that.. I've seen anime's that had to end because the pilot episode didn't have enough success, but the station asked for 1 season so the anime ends, the manga continues. (cheaper that way) I'm not saying EVERY anime needs to make money to continue. A lot of fan service animes were designed to just make money. But only get 1 season, even if they made a lot of money. Sometimes the writer of the manga sells the original works, and continues with it.. and notices the anime doesn't bring the manga the "respect" it deserves and refuses to sell the rights. I just compared the prices to produce an anime season and a TV show season.. it also shows a lot of anime profit margins don't come from people watching the TV show it's also from DVD sales/box set sales/toys/plushies etc. it's all a market in that sense.. Look I've seen some amazing anime that have been only great in Japan.. but only 1 season. A lot of the shows end but the manga continues.. usually if the manga continues and the anime continues.. the anime is very well known internationally (Bleach/Naruto/One Piece examples), although I would love to know animes that aren't well known and continue along as the manga keeps going (I haven't followed many new anime/manga since I don't like watching unfinished series...I dislike waiting for the next week or such. There have been exceptions, but not many). Look, I am not talking about any of your money comments. My issue is the line about a show needing international success in order to continue. Those great only in Japan anime won't be getting additional seasons based on any international success they may garner. Yes, there will be special circumstances when foreign companies actually pay for more but those are exceptions. |

| So wait. you aer telling me that one episode of anime cost US $145,214?  |

| I find those stats to be bullshit, the animation has to be somewhere in the range of $100-200 at most. |
| That's too much imo |

| i won't say the budget is low but i was expecting it to be more than 50 mn us dollar |
 |
| Wow wtffff. I had no idea it was that expensive. Even with all that money they still come out with crap anime? Wow, if the makers are spending this much money they should at least make sure the plot is good. Like some of the anime I've seen makes me wonder wtf was going on in the producer's head. I'm sure a lot of regular anime watchers could come up with better plots than a lot of the stuff that comes out. |
